I don't know. We haven't really seen Cadence outside the royalty and Twilight. We don't really know how normal people treat her (have her take a trip to Ponyville and see what happens. I bet no one would recognize her).
Yeah. And remember Gohan killed Cell, and for a time, was the most powerful being in the universe. After that, it became a "nothing works, let's try the spirit bomb". Buu and beyond basically can't really explain how powers evolve, because they don't follow their own rules.

Eh, I wouldn't compare it like that. Krillin is useless, and acts as such. Applejack isn't useless, she just doesn't have any character development, because she doesn't need it. Physically, she's still the strongest out of the group, and the most resilient. It is odd though, to see the other characters exhibit feats of strength. Twilight has done so on occasion, and I always go back to the second episode for Rarity, when she bitchsmacked the manticore.
I just feel like this has been being foreshadowed for a very long time. I mean twilight is Celestia's personal protege. There must have been a reason she took special interest in her. Also Twilight is the time between day and night, and Cadence's colour scheme is very reminiscent of the colours of morning. Idk, I dont think its as outrageous and world ending as a lot of people are making out to be

In a way, it might be leftovers from the fact that the show was originally based on Journey to the West. Another anime, Saiyuki, follows the old story more closely (but is largely a parody of it). In that show, the story starts out revolving around all four characters. Later on, it became "Goku is the only one that can do it", and he has to get stronger (which is largely unnoticeable), and at the end, he literally kicks the shit out of a god. Then they made Saiyuki Reload, and I can't see how it's even remotely watchable, since they completely changed that around and he looks like a pansy now.
