* There are excusable typos, and there is this gem (don't say it loud):

* [[BrickJoke Bird themed typos strike again in "World War Two Ways"]], when Von Devilor says “Fools! Your '''poultry ''' powers will serve you naught here in my world! Only the hate and the darkness reign supreme here… allow me to show you!” If the foul/fowl typo didn't seal the rooster jokes, the paltry/poultry certainly will! Good luck taking Von Devilor seriously again.

“Maybe in ways… they did.” said Dyno “You prayed and wished for someone to help you while you were in danger, and me and my brother came.”\\
Myte nodded, “Si… and you did pray and hope for your survival. Even though the planet was lost, your prayers were still answered; we all helped you escape.”

** Not helping their case is that in canon, no one bats an eye at either the existence of mules nor the many ShipTease moments between members of different species, [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E7ShesAllYak like Yona and Sandbar,]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E26TheLastProblem or Fluttershy and Discord,]] and since Starfleet radically altered their whole world, pushes their worldviews on anything they conquer, has a history of being...

* Mykan actually wrote a [[https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/953705/debunking-tv-tropes-calistas-death rebuttal]] against the criticism of Calista's death from this very website's "What an Idiot" section. Two notable bits are (1) when he reads the argument that Dearka should have shielded Calista and he somehow gets the impression that the issue is Von Devilor's hesitancy to attack one of his own men rather than Dearka's armor and (2) when he insists that readers are to read by his rules.

* The most ironic thing is that out of all of the Starfleet stories, the only two that are readable are his ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' fanfics; ''Power Rangers Starfleet'' and ''Power Rangers Super Starfleet''.

** Mykan's obsession with the word "heavenly"; "Celesto", "Leilani", and "[[CriticalResearchFailure Castor]]" all mean "heavenly", and that's apparently why he chose them. Not helping matters is the fact that the first of those three [[UnfortunateNames greatly resembles "Celestia"]].

*** [[UpToEleven Esroh Dab gets it worst of all.]] At least the others get backwards versions of "demon", "alien", etc. His name is just "Bad Horse" spelled backwards, [[UnfortunateName bringing to mind someone scolding their pet pony.]] It doesn't help that "Dab" usually refers to... [[MemeticMutation something else.]]

*** [[UnfortunateNames Underdog.]] Whoever named this poor schmuck must've really hated him, because the name does not reflect well on its fighting ability.

** In "Babies Make Three", several babies are born and their names leave a lot to be desired. "Seedling" is arguably the most tolerable of the lot due to at least sounding like a pony name, and [[DeadGuyJunior "Twilight Sparkle-Scales"]] is a bit on-the-nose, but "Button Fly" is just plain absurd and nonsensical (unsurprisingly, it was coined by Rhymey) and has nothing to do with anything aside from being a zero-effort rhyme with "Fluttershy", and [[UnfortunateNames it also sounds like something you'd find in the crotch area on a pair of Levi's 501s]].
** The natives of Firmos are heavily associated with metal, and even their appearance reflects that. That wouldn't be so bad if weren't for the fact that they're called the ''[[UnfortunateNames Fermentials]]''. It's impossible not to think of pickled food after that.

*** Also, two of the Blisstonians are named [[IncrediblyLamePun Primm and Prei]]. Real subtle, [[GiverOfLameNames Mindia]], looks like you've also been learning from Asgore.

** The staggering amount of {{Palette Swap}}s is already bad enough. [[UpToEleven The fact that some of the characters with copied designs aren't even the same species as the original takes this to a completely new level of]] FridgeLogic.

** [[UpToEleven This gets taken to new heights in IX, which is entirely about romantic love and marriage, complete with a Love Triangle, at least two new couples, the villains wanting to purge the world of love, and a new healing move literally called "The Healing of Love"]]. It's ''so'' hypocritical, it jumps across the line into hilarity.

* The Dark King may be a pitch-black giant made of evil, but it's pretty diminished [[StupidEvil by the utter lack of intelligence he demonstrates]]. In particular, going by the logic the series sets in TimeTravel, the DK invading past!Starfleet from the BadFuture [[SelfDisposingVillain would cause his future to cease to exist]] with Starfleet, meaning that everyone loses. And with little indication that it's supposed to be [[SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum intentional]], and the likelihood that he had time to think this through, that leaves behind an antagonist not just TooDumbToLive, [[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds but too]] [[LethallyStupid dumb to let]] ''[[StupidEvil anyone else]]'' [[EpicFail live]], all while gripping the VillainBall [[UpToEleven like it's going out of style]]. The sheer idiocy of his EvilPlan [[IdiotPlot goes a long way to deflate what little drama there is of IV's plot]], and makes the villains come off as pathetically, amusingly stupid at their best. [[AlmightyIdiot If only great power came with basic critical thinking skills...]]

* [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude Who got high on LSD and named their kid "Lippy Sync"!?]] [[UnfortunateNames Apart from being a shitty corruption of "lip-sync", it sounds as if the poor kid had a mouth sore or some other lip infection.]]

** The villains of "Power Life Line" are named Red, Yellow, and Blue, their group name is the [[IncrediblyLamePun Bug-a-Watts]], and their [[FusionDance combined form is the Tri-Bug]]. If it's not immediately obvious, they have no role in the story other than to nearly kill Flurry Heart, let alone personality.

* [[EpicFail The single biggest example in this season is the fact that Starfleet accidentally freed the Big Bad from the box]] ''[[UpToEleven before they even signed the treaty entrusting them with it]]''. TooDumbToLive does not come close to describing their sheer ineptitude.

** [[ArtisticLicenseLinguistics Also, "von" is a German preposition which can mean "of", "from", etc. Which means his name means "of Devilor" or "from Devilor".]] [[UnfortunateName Please, tell me that's not his full name...]]

* [[https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/769838/technology-in-equestria-vs-technology-starfleet In the comments section of the blog]], after it is pointed out that solar powered trains are not effective, he pretty much ignores this, then he has a DysonSphere explained to him, and is asked why Starfleet doesn't have one. He says it's because it would generate too much heat. After it is further explained, he clarifies what he actually meant. [[HeadDesk Please don't bang your head on the desk.]]

* In "Faith of the Blind", Starfleet meets the very on-the-nose Blisstonians, just in case it wasn't already obvious from the blurbs [[BlindObedience what kind]] [[BeliefMakesYouStupid of]] [[PlanetOfHats Hat]] they wear.
** Also, two of the Blisstonians are named [[IncrediblyLamePun Primm and Prei]]. Real subtle, [[GiverOfLameNames Mindia]], looks like you've also been learning from Asgore.

** How abou the fact that the dragon they're sentenced to fight is named ''Scarlight'', when the villain Starlight already exists, and is described as having an "orange tummy". Doesn't exactly scream "[[NightmareRetardant intimidating]]".

* When discussing Spike's crush on Rarity, both Spike and the others focus on the fact that he's a different species than Rarity. The stigma of an InterspeciesRomance [[FauxHorrific is treated as a major obstacle preventing Spike from confessing his feelings to Rarity,]] [[SkewedPriorities while glossing over the fact that]] ''[[PedoHunt Spike is a minor and either]] [[SeriesContinuityError 5 or 7 years]] [[NoYay younger than the fully grown Rarity.]]'' This implies that United Equestria has issues with romances with non-pony species, [[PedoHunt but not romances with minors.]] [[SarcasmMode Glad to know that at least our heroes]] [[AuthorAvatar (and by extension Mykan)]] [[SkewedPriorities have their priorities straight.]]

** He also says in the same speech that you can't just just say you are right and everyone else is wrong. Big words from a member of [[BlackAndWhiteInsanity Starfleet.]]

* He also says in the same speech that you can't just just say you are right and everyone else is wrong. Big words from a member of [[BlackAndWhiteInsanity Starfleet.]]

* Swift Star makes a speech about how tolerant Starfleet is im Chapter 8. Due to a grammatical error, however, while he mostly salvages the image of Starfleet, we have this gem...

* In "Pinkie and the Brain Bug", Penny mentions developing a technology so that if current treatments don't get rid of an infection in time, ''they can shrink a squad of soldiers'' '''''to fight the infection themselves'''''. [[SincerityMode You read that correctly.]] They are seriously considering fighting infections with their soldiers. Aside from the massive ArtisticLicenseBiology this entails, it's our most hilarious indicator yet [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic of just how militaristic our]] [[DesignatedHero "heroes"]] [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic are, pretty much confirming that Starfleet would rather shoot the problem until it goes away than consider far more practical solutions.]]
