** Rainbow Dash is an ace pilot in a bright red custom ship that's 20% faster than any fighter in the wing, clearly bringing Char Aznable from ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' to mind even if she doesn't tick off any boxes for the personality (which is more in line with the likes of [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Tasha Yar]] and [[Series/BattlestarGalactica Kara Thrace]]).

Added DiffLines:

* OutOfGenreExperience: The "Crystal Empire" three-part StoryArc is a GenreThrowback to old PlanetaryRomance fiction complete with some [[spoiler:InterspeciesRomance between Twilight's brother and an alien princess]] and a much [[LargeHam hammier]] EvilOverlord than is standard for the show.
