History Recap / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E2TheReturnOfHarmonyPart2

!!Tropes (see [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E2TheReturnOfHarmonyPart2 here]] for [=YMMVs=])

*** When the ponies unite using the Elements Of Harmony, their power forms a rainbow that turns Discord back to stone. It then turns into a [[MemeticMutation double rainbow]] that restores Ponyville ''all the way'' back from what Discord had done to it.

!!Tropes

* MadeOfExplodium: Discord's [[MemeticMutation chocolate milk of glass]]. He drinks the glass, ''not the milk'', and the leftover milk blows up when he tosses it aside.

* HesBack: All the mane ponies. Princess Celestia [[InvokedTrope encourages]] this in Twilight with the letters.

* NotQuiteFlight: Unicorn twilight sparkle appears to use this when teleporting directly into the air and projecting the force field around her friends.

** [[spoiler:He also responds to Twilight's KirkSummation with disgust and telling them to just hurry up because he has some chaos to get back to. Subverted, however, because not listening ended up getting him TakenForGranite.]]

* HumblePie: [[spoiler:Discord's downfall. Not only is he defeated by the six ponies he'd spent the past two episodes viewing as inconsequential, he has just enough time before being TakenForGranite to realize that his entire plan has been ''completely undone'' and he was ''dead wrong'' about the Elements Of Harmony. All this happens in ''under a minute''.]]

-> '''Discord''': Will you ever learn?
-> '''Twilight Sparkle''': [[AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle I'll tell you what we've learned]], ''[[ShutUpHannibal Discord]]''! [[KirkSummation We've learned that friendship isn't always easy, but there's no doubt it's worth fighting for!]]

-->''This may look like it's fun, but it's not!''

--> ''Necklace, necklace, necklace, necklace, and... big crown thingy! All right, let's do this!''

-->'''Fluttershy:''' Hey, Twilight! What's soaking wet and clueless?
-->'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Fluttershy, I've just about had enough--
--->''(Fluttershy dumps a bucket of water on Twilight's head)''
-->'''Fluttershy:''' Your FACE!
--->''(Fluttershy slams the bucket on Twilight's head)''

-->'''Twilight Sparkle:''' "If you can't catch her, Discord wins!"
-->'''Fluttershy:''' ''(*gasp!*)'' "[[ThisIsSparta That. Big. Dumb. MEANIE!]]"

--> '''Rarity:''' How in Equestria can she think that tiny patch of cloud is Cloudsdale?
--> '''Applejack:''' The same way he got you to think that cheap rock was a bona fide diamond?
--> '''Rarity:''' ...I thought we agreed never to speak of that again.

--->'''Twilight Sparkle:''' ''(dejected)'' I never thought it would happen. My friends...
---->''(pause)''
--->'''Twilight Sparkle:''' ''(angry)'' ...have turned into COMPLETE JERKS!

--> '''Discord''': Bravo ponies! Bravo! Harmony in Equestria is officially dead. Discord rules, Celestia drools.

-->''Now if you'll excuse me, I have some chaos to wreak.''

--> '''Twilight''': All right, ladies. Let's show him what [[ThePowerOfFriendship friendship can do]]!

-->'''Twilight:''' Where is she? Where's Rarity?
-->'''Applejack:''' Beats me!
-->'''Twilight:''' ''[[AC:Lies]]!''

-->'''Rarity:''' Oh Fluttershy, would you be a dear and ''fly faster please!''
-->'''Fluttershy:''' I can't!
-->'''Twilight:''' [[ItMakesSenseInContext If you can't catch [Rainbow Dash], Discord wins!]]
-->'''Fluttershy:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis That big... dumb... MEANIE!]]

* AssKickingPose: Subverted twice. Once with the apathetic corrupted ponies, and another when [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Pinkie decides to have one last sip of chocolate milk rain.]]

*** And the Special Zones in ''SonicTheHedgehog''.

* AloneInACrowd: [[spoiler:When Discord [[BreakTheCutie breaks Twilight]], we see her dejectedly walking through town, surrounded by townsponies, but unable to turn to a single one for help, as they've all been DrivenToMadness by Discord's spell and her TrueCompanions have all turned on her due to Discord's brainwashing. Honestly one of the most heartbreaking scenes in the series.]]

* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: Rarity, post-corruption. Quickly subverted by Applejack.

* MadeOfExplodium: Discord's chocolate milk (he drinks the glass, ''not the milk'') blows up when he tosses it aside.

* RealityWarper: Discord, obviously. To go into detail, towards the end, he holds out a glass under some chocolate milk rain, which fills from top to bottom. A moment later, he then drinks the glass and throws away the milk. Which then [[MadeOfExplodium explodes]].

* WackySoundEffect: Everything Discord does is punctuated by a weird sound effect! His umbrella meows, his claps are frog noises and camera shutters, and his chocolate milk squeaks

* AloneInACrowd: [[spoiler:When Discord [[BreakTheCutie breaks Twilight]], we see her dejectedly walking through town, surrounded by townsponies but unable to turn to anypony for help, as they've all been DrivenToMadness by Discord's spell and even her TrueCompanions have turned against her, leaving her pretty much alone. Honestly one of the most heartbreaking scenes in the series.]]

* WackySoundEffect/SoundDefect: Everything Discord does is punctuated by a weird sound effect! His umbrella meows, his claps are frog noises and camera shutters, and his chocolate milk squeaks

* NotSoFastBucko: [[spoiler:The Main Cast are all back to normal, everypony is in a GroupHug... and bison ballerina dance across the foreground, indicating that there is still Discord to deal with. Twilight even lampshades it.]]
-->''Maybe it's a little early for a group hug.''

* RunningGag: Corrupted Pinkie Pie angrily declaring "I '''hate''' ___!".

* SneezeOfDoom: Discord sprinkles [[FanNickname Berry Punch]] with pepper making her sneeze which causes every tree and house around her to topple like a pieces of cardboard.

* OutGambitted: Discord has destroyed all of Celestia's defenses against him via impossible theft and by manipulating and breaking her champions. Celestia arranges his defeat by sending some letters. You don't out-troll Trollestia, it seems.
