** And if it was, that would play to the origin of the idiom. The tradition citing it was bad luck to wish play performers good luck which people inverted by wishing them misfortune instead.



*** In season 3, she is seen in the background at the front door of a house, farewelling a nurse. She's made significant progress in treatment and is living at home again. This considered, insanity is not her destiny.



** There probably are some sort of regular "sky ferries", or magical teleporters, or something like that, which would allow earthbound ponies access Cloudsdale whenever they need to.

** It's been strongly implied both in the show and WordOfGod that Scootaloo will never fly, that's she's effectively handicapped. Hardly something that cannot be overcome, and definitely not something that would prevent her from getting an awesome cutie mark.


Added DiffLines:

** And we get to see exactly what happens when she loses that validation again in ''Pinke Pride''; when Cheese Sandwich upstages her. Although she does not deal with it particularly ''well'' at first, she also doesn't go full-on crazy-town Pinkamena this time either; and shows quite a bit of character growth as a result.

*** Canon confirmation of this exists. Right after lil' filly Twilight turns her parents into houseplants and hatches a dragon egg into Spikezilla, Princess Celestia says flat-out that she has never before seen a unicorn with the kind of raw magical ability that Twilight has. Princess Celestia is over ''one thousand bucking years old''. Twilight Sparkle is, literally, a once-in-a-millenium level of unicorn.

* Think about what Rainbow's friends did specifically to Rainbow. Yes, she had to learn a lesson. Yes, if they talked to her, she probably wouldn't have listened. But think about the kind of pony Rainbow is. Rainbow, as a matter of fact, was in character the entire time. Rainbow is a pony who hates losing, big time. Somepony who sees her fame as her life. She was constantly losing, and being dethroned. More and more losing and less and less positive fame. Throw in merciless teasing by her closest friends and hypocrisy, and I believe Rainbow would be beyond her breaking point. If this wasn't a kid's show, I think she would have at least hurt herself during this episode, even more so after the end. I'm surprised she didn't break down in tears in this episode.

*We never get to hear how the transformations took place, wether they were instantanious or took place over the duration of the night. Now grwong extra hair, shrinking or your slowly going limp might not me a big deal, but Rainbow Dash' wings (muscles and skeletal structure) somehow reoriented themselves overnight. That could've hurt. Badly.

* When [[spoiler:Tirek]] stole flight, he would also have stolen inertial damping. First, this means that some of the low-flying pegasi we see have massive injuries. Second, many pegasi (and griffons) would have been higher up. It is a given that [[DisneyVillainDeath nopony in Cloudsdale has survived]], and that nearly every pegasus and griffon in the world is in mourning for some loved ones.

** More than the fire's intensity, what affected Spike was the magic on it. Twilight often practices harmless spells on him, and Spike had been affected by an adult dragon's fire, that is magical as well. The series has established that dragons are vulnerable to magic; while Spike probably resists magical fire much better than a pony, it still can harm him to a certain extent.

* [[spoiler: The mere idea of Tirek winning. Obviously the other villains have had horrible designs, but for him, the fact that he plans to drain the magic from every being he find brings something even worse to mind. Celestia states that if he wins, there will be nobody to control the weather, liking leaving it completely stagnant, nobody with the strength to work the earth to grow food, and he aimed to the magic to control the sun and moon. Not only would he leave all of Equestria too weak to left a finger against him, futile as it would be, but his take over could easily end of life in Equestria with the weather and the sun and moon left unchecked, and the ponies would not be able to support themselves. Tirek either never seemed to consider that, or he didn't care as long he got power.]]

* According to folklore, [[http://www.pantheon.org/articles/t/tatzlwurm.html a Tatzlwurm's breath is a lethal]]. If this applies to the beast in MLP as well, [[MadGod Discord's power]] might be the only reason he got away so lightly. And just imagine if Cadence hadn't had that shield up.
