History Awesome / MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017

* [[spoiler:If not for Twilight's attempt to steal the Pearl, Pinkie Pie would have successfully gotten the support of Queen Novo and her kingdom.]]
* [[spoiler: The assault by the heroes on the Storm King occupied Canterlot]].
* [[spoiler:Princess Skystar revealing herself to be a CuteBruiser and physically overpowering Storm King's {{Mooks}} who are far larger than herself.]]
* [[spoiler: Tempest TakingTheBullet for the Mane Six and turning it back on the Storm King by petrifying him as well]].
** The writers get one for [[spoiler:making the audience genuinely believe that the Storm King died after he was petrified and shattered. Sure, the credits imply he's still alive and trying to put himself back together but until then, the audience thought that the series had its first genuine on-screen death since Sombra (and it's unclear if the credits are even serious).]]
* The Storm King was defeated [[spoiler:not by some magical artifact like the Elements of Harmony but rather, he was defeated because Twilight chose to save Tempest's life instead of taking his staff. Once again, the day is saved because Twilight offered a sad pony a hoof of friendship.]]

** [[spoiler:Later, after his HeelFaceTurn and during TheClimax, he devises a TrojanHorse -- via giant cake -- in order to sneak the good guys back into a besieged Canterlot. And when The Storm King's {{Mooks}} (justifiably) question it, he uses his silver tongue to persuade them that said cake is for their boss's TheBadGuyWins party, and that they'd be risking their jobs (or worse) by turning it away -- cue Capper [[BadassBack not even having to look at them]] while predicting exactly when they'll relent.]]

* After [[spoiler: Twilight and Storm King get pulled into the sky by the tornado, it looked like the end. Then the clouds part as the sun's rays break through, and in that moment, Twilight floats down with staff in hoof as if she were an angel descending from Heaven. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming since the Mane Six first thought they had lost their friend, the Princess of Friendship and Element of Magic, forever after she performed a HeroicSacrifice to take out the Storm King with her.]]
* One for Equestria in general: the fact that the film outright states the four princesses are basically living weapons of mass destruction, and that between the four of them have enough magic to easily conquer the world.
** Villainous add-on: [[spoiler:After stealing said magic, The Storm King proves the above by casually juggling the sun and the moon (in a CallBack to one of Discord's signature gags from "The Return of Harmony"), then conjuring a massive tornado. [[UnskilledButStrong All while still getting used to said magic.]]]]

** The writers get one for [[spoiler:making the audience genuinely believe that the Storm King died after he was petrified and shattered. Sure, the credits imply he's still alive and trying to put himself back together but until then, the audience thought that the series finally had its first genuine on-screen death since Sombra was KilledOffForReal (and it's unclear if the credits are even serious).]]

** And just in case you thought this was gonna just be a clumsy mistake or mere coincidence on Derpy's part, pay close attention to the scene: As the camera zooms in on Twilight, you can see Derpy running towards her, and a single second before the spell hits you can hear her ''scream Twilight's name'' before shielding her from the attack. There's no mistaking it -- this was absolutely deliberate.

* Twilight MacGyvering a bunch of random junk into a hot air balloon in ‘’mid-air’’.

* Despite bringing in {{Celebrity Voice Actor}}s, the cast will still include Creator/TaraStrong, Creator/CathyWeseluck, [[Music/HeyOcean Ashleigh Ball]], Creator/AndreaLibman, Creator/TabithaStGermain, and Creator/NicoleOliver as their respective characters from the show (similar to how ''WesternAnimation/RatchetAndClank2016'' still managed to get Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor, Creator/DavidKaye, Creator/JimWard, and Armin Shimerman as their respective characters from the games despite its own cast of {{Celebrity Voice Actor}}s).

* [[spoiler: The assualt by the heroes on the Storm King occupied Canterlot]].

* It was very well-received critically, clocking in at [[https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/my_little_pony_the_movie_2017 70% (as of 6 October 2017)]], which is far better than what most movies made of television shows usually receive, especially with the past history of the franchise.
