** The six months of detention they receive for the above has had [[BrokenBase caused debate on if it's adequate or not]]. Consider this: WordOfGod is that ''Rainbow Rocks'', where Sunset Shimmer finally broke her {{Reformed But Rejected}}ness, takes place six moons (presumably months) after the first movie. They're facing the same level of consequences Sunset did for her ''years'' of similar bullying [[NeverLiveItDown (oh, and the raging she-demon thing)]]. In light of this, it would be illogical for them to get any worse.



*** Twilight having access to Star Swirls material on inter-dimensional travel would explain how she had the knowledge to build a device to use the EG!Mirror at any time, and had said mirror in her possession.

* The 2014 Holiday Special showed just how fragile Sunset's forgiveness was, even after she fought tooth and nail to redeem herself in the eyes of her new friends.

** Why was Trixie made an alicorn princess instead of Sunset Shimmer? Since main universe Sunset Shimmer demanded to become an alicorn princess, it would seem more likely that her mirror counterpart would instead be granted the position. That is until you realize that main universe Sunset Shimmer also fled into the Equestria Girls universe. Assuming that there is also a mirror Equestria Girls universe, mirror Sunset Shimmer probably ended up there before she could be alicornized (maybe due to Mirror!Celestia throwing her in there).

** The MirrorUniverse version of Chrysalis is implied to be ''far'' more powerful than the main one, since she's being entrusted to protect parts of the country from Evil Celestia and Luna while her prime countrpart can't even defeat Celestia with her default power level. This makes sense when you realize Chrysalis is a beloved paragon in this world, she's being ''showered'' with love 24/7. So where the main universe Chrysalis needs to absorb love to increase her strength to that level, Mirror Chrysalis receives enough love ''given'' to her that she's likely constantly at that level or ''higher''.

* In #19, Mirror!Celestia says, "If I only had more time with my other self. I could have beaten that spell to her world out of her." Prime!Celestia came back through the mirror badly beaten, but ''when any of the prime characters are injured, the mirror characters receive the same injuries.'' Is Mirror!Celestia a masochist?

* Expanding the universe shows just how much of Equestria is a CrapsaccharineWorld. Break the law? No problem, the authority won't use magic on you, even when you're hurting her friends, because you're a legal citizen. Nearly drowned the entire populous? You're let off the hook because you were just trying to help your friends. Invade your neighboring country to expand your territory? Well, don't worry. The ruler of said country had so much excitement, it's comparable to when her kingdom nearly got overrun by shape-shifting monsters partly [[NiceJobBreakingItHero due to her own fault]]. In Equestria, you can almost expect to be a KarmaHoudini. That, or one gets [[AndIMustScream particularly]] [[CruelAndUnusualDeath terrifying]], [[LaserGuidedKarma if deserved]], fate with little middle ground. [[BlackAndWhiteInsanity One must question Equestrian morality]].

* In #3, it seems odd that it was Rainbow Dash, of all characters, to be the first of the Mane 6 to realize their breaking up was a Changeling trick. However, as the Element of Loyalty, she would have regretted doubting Twilight due to such manipulations back at the wedding worse then the others, and thus try the hardest to learn from it and avoid such mistakes again.

** In #11s short, Twilight is said to have played as a high charisma mage in the D&D expy. Seems minor, but this would define what she would become (powerful, great friend and leader) and where [[ShadowArchetype others failed]] (Trixie lacking the means to back up her excessive pride, Sunset Shimmer seeking power without caring what other thought).

** The prototype mirror portal [[SuperPrototype seems to superior to the ‘’Equestria Girls’’ one]], (able to access multiple dimension at any time), so why did Star swirl bother to create another? It can disguise users as local life (he and Celestia were nearly eaten because the first mirror didn’t).
**
Why was Trixie made an alicorn princess instead of Sunset Shimmer? Since main universe Sunset Shimmer demanded to become an alicorn princess, it would seem more likely that her mirror counterpart would instead be granted the position. That is until you realize that main universe Sunset Shimmer also fled into the Equestria Girls universe. Assuming that there is also a mirror Equestria Girls universe, mirror Sunset Shimmer probably ended up there before she could be alicornized (most likely (maybe due to mirror Celestia personally Mirror!Celestia throwing her in there).there).
** Season Four of the show of the show (which takes place afterward) opens with Celestia revealing how much Lunas banishment hurt her. She’s learned her lesson that she didn’t need to hide her emotional weakness, as trying to do so ultimately cost her in the arc.



* In #9, there is a stall selling "Vigors & Plasmids", an obvious ShoutOut to ''Franchise/BioShock''... which means [[PsychoSerum ADAM]] [[OhCrap exists in Equestria and is perfectly legal and readily available]]. Let's hope Celestia regulates it more than Ryan did or ponies are more fond of vigors.
* The Bookworm from #15-#16, after full persuasion by Twilight not to eat the books, lest he destroys reality, finally got to be the hero of his own book. Then cut to the part where [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E26TwilightsKingdomPart2 Tirek destroys the whole library]], and --given the sheer HSQ amount of destruction-- we would cringe of the fate of the bookworm, and all of the characters with it.



** The parallel injuries only began happening when the Mane Six were fighting Mirror!Celestia and Mirror!Luna, so it was ''after'' Mirror!Celestia beat the snot out of Prime!Celestia

* In issue #3, it seems odd that it was Rainbow Dash, of all characters, to be the first of the Mane 6 to realize their breaking up was a Changeling trick. However, as the Element of Loyalty, she would have regretted doubting Twilight due to such manipulations back at the wedding worse then the others, and thus try the hardest to learn from it and avoid such mistakes again.

* In ''Keep Calm and Flutter On'', Fluttershy makes Discord turn good. So with that said, what would happen if Good!Discord met Evil!Fluttershy? While you could say that he might be able to resit her, it's also just as likely that Evil!Fluttershy could just bully and/or trick Discord (by pretending to be his friend) into submission, especially if the anti-mane six join in.

Added DiffLines:

! FridgeBrilliance:
* One of the trophies the Luna/Big Mac pair win is "Synchronized Water Polo". Polo - as applied to ponies - would be a rather apt sport (and shown true in issue #11), and horses are actually good swimmers so would take well in the water.
* In the Sunset Shimmer short, she's seen rejecting the invitations of five unicorn mares: Moondancer, Lemon Hearts, Lyra, Minuette, and Twinkleshine. Now, considering that Celestia was trying to groom Sunset in the same way as Twilight Sparkle later, in hopes she would become a Princess, this would have also likely involved her having friends to become the Bearer of the Elements, and from this, there's a strong correlation in these five mares: Moondancer (Fluttershy), Lemon Hearts (Applejack), Lyra (Pinkie Pie), Minuette (Rainbow Dash), and Twinkleshine (Rarity), even with the brief characterization thrown in the comic.
* Why was Trixie made an alicorn princess instead of Sunset Shimmer? Since main universe Sunset Shimmer demanded to become an alicorn princess, it would seem more likely that her mirror counterpart would instead be granted the position. That is until you realize that main universe Sunset Shimmer also fled into the Equestria Girls universe. Assuming that there is also a mirror Equestria Girls universe, mirror Sunset Shimmer probably ended up there before she could be alicornized (most likely due to mirror Celestia personally throwing her in there).
* Issue #23 ends with a towering Opal (a result of a growth potion used to help save the town). The comic published ''just'' before this, Friends Forever #8, features AJ and Rarity visiting the largest ball of yawn in Equestria, presenting the perfect solution to a giant cat. No idea if the two teams of artists/writers colluded on this facet, but it was noticed by the fandom.

! FridgeHorror:
* Luna's plan to get Spike and the Mane 6 sans Rarity to the moon is rife with this. Namely the whole "Move the moon closer" thing.[[note]]the tides are dependent on the state and orbit of the moon[[/note]].
** While were at it, there's also the tightrope. Let's just say [[ExplosiveDecompression they're lucky that the rope didn't break earlier]].
* In #19, Mirror!Celestia says, "If I only had more time with my other self. I could have beaten that spell to her world out of her." Prime!Celestia came back through the mirror badly beaten, but ''when any of the prime characters are injured, the mirror characters receive the same injuries.'' Is Mirror!Celestia a masochist?
