** The part where he goes to conquer Ponyville and take the throne in Canterlot sows darkness in its wake, turning the once sunny setting into something glum and drab. The ponies he proceeds to enslave are of special note as he turns them into mindless minions with [[SicklyGreenGlow Sickly Green]] MindControlEyes and a creepy blank face expression. The worst part? [[AndIMustScream They're fully aware they're under his control!]][[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E25TheCutieRemarkPart1 It's a very eerie callback to a timeline where King Sombra was at war with Celestia]].

* A baby elephant is swallowed whole by a snake. It is played for comedy.
* The AscendedFridgeHorror of the issues regarding keeping animals at different levels of the food chain in the same sanctuary isn't just a one-off joke; it's a significant part of the plot. The worst part is that Fluttershy's solution of only having the predators eat vegetables while they're there wouldn't actually help; the bear and raccoons could probably do it, already being omnivores, but the wolf and snake would get sick at best and end up dead at worst.

* Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow's EvilGloating as they reveal to the heroes their efforts in turning the three pony races against each other by invoking TheSocialDarwinist. It really shows how far they've gone on their paths of evil to the point of reaching the malicious StrawNihilist territory.
