* AdaptationDrift: The first three episodes follow the plot of the corresponding ''Friendship Is Magic'' episodes pretty closely. But subsequent episodes introduce completely different plots from the original show, villains from later seasons [[AdaptationalEarlyAppearance show up in the middle of season one]], and the series develops an overarching plot about Equestria going to war. The series creators started frankensteining footage from different episodes (and even commissioned completely original animations) to tell the story they wanted--to the extent that the original finale, Episode 26, doesn't include any footage or plot details from "The Best Night Ever", the episode it's allegedly based on. The followup series, ''Scootertrix the Epilogue'', uses completely original animation and doesn't even pretend to be an abridged series anymore.

He reluctantly allows Luna to continue being penpals with her ''Scootertrix'' counterpart, but threatens dire consequences if anyone interferes with any future events in the other universe. This preemptively explains why ''Scootertrix'' Celestia and Luna can't get any help from their ''FIFA'' counterparts in the war against Chrysalis and Sombra--and why the ''FIFA'' mane six bluntly refuse to help Pinkie and Trixie deal with Discord in ''The Movie''.

* EvilOverlooker: The placement of the villains and antagonists on [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13884464/mediaviewer/rm2804995585/?ref_=tt_ov_i the official poster]] is pretty interesting. The eyes of Discord, the most powerful foe in the series and the primary threat of ''The Movie'', look down on the rest of the cast from the upper left, playing the trope completely straight. The other big bads, King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis, are in the bottom corners, surprisingly fitting their roles. [[spoiler:Sombra turns out as just a BigBadWannabe. And although Chrysalis winds up the last villain standing, who comes within a hair's breadth of actually winning, she does so through deceit and subterfuge--not through acting overtly.]] Meanwhile Trixie is grouped with the mane six, right next to Twilight, foreshadowing that she's not really a villain. Finally, Celestia's placement in the upper right of the poster might be a nod to her being a VillainProtagonist--but the actually heroic Luna is right by her side, so it's possible they were both just placed there to balance the composition.

Chrysalis, in the guise of Starlight Glimmer, takes control of the Canterlot Castle and threatens to spark revolts all over Equestria if Luna doesn't surrender the throne to her. Luna's response? Drawing on the mane six's knowledge and connections, she has them create a spell to strip Chrysalis and all changelings of their shapeshifting powers. After Rarity casts it, exposing ''all'' of Chrysalis' forces, Luna explains that Equestria's military is already converging on Canterlot, so Chrysalis has no hope of escaping. Luna offers to discuss terms of surrender, and Chrysalis accepts.]]
