Anyone can say something sharp when they are stressed out enough. You can’t completely control it.

@Spike fancy  
Still felt entirely out of character for her to say those things, rage or no rage.

Too Twilight’s credited she did apologize to her friends and I’m pretty sure right before pinkie hugged her she was going to say
 
“I’m so sorry I was wrong to have said that too you”

I entirely agree with this comment.

I’m okay with her feeling like this was the only way, since no one else was going to improve the situation (at least from her point of view). Twi’s made horrendous mistakes in the past due to her own lack of foresight. It’s her attitude on the beach afterward, however, that stinks.
 
I agree with Joshscorcher on this: her yelling at her friends was not okay. It only serviced the plot and got Twi alone to be captured. Hence why I now officially can’t stand the “plot-mandated friendship failure” trope; if handled extremely poorly like it was, here, it comes off as bad storytelling at best, and outright character assassination at worst. And this…was worst.
 
That particular scene almost killed my respect for Twilight Sparkle. She could have owned up and said “sorry team, I failed; let’s try again” and I would have perfectly accepted that she’s not perfect. But instead, she didn’t accept her faults until it was too little, too late. She may be right about her “friends” being more of a hindrance, and everything got better in the end, but that was no excuse for the things she said…

It’s okay, Twilight. You were only doing what you thought was right.

@RainbowDash69  
Or as certain song once said “not flawless”. And yes, I love her for that too. One must accept both good stuff and mistakes of the one whom he loves.

@Light Blade  
That’s why I love her. she isn’t perfect

@RainbowDash69  

@Light Blade  
Not really but she still commited a crime

@Edhelistar  
@RainbowDash69  
And things were really so simple, I presume?

TWIIIIIILIIIIIGHT SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARKLE! HOW DARE YOU!

She looks horrified. So cute. What a big failure. Just admit it….

“I can explain.”

Kinky

It was at this moment Twilight knew… she fyayed up.
