Technically, it wasn\'t the double rainboom scene. It was the scene of Rainbow dash discovering how much faster she could fly on the potion.

Roid-rage - If they\'d used his name, that would be fanon. Including him in the movie? Not fanon. Doctor whooves and derpy - Not fanon. Both ponies exist in the show. Pinkie Pie\'s reality warping - Not REALLY fanon, though the fans exaggerate it. The link I provide in the spoiler shows an example of her doing JUST THAT. I left that in my version of the \"fanon\" listing because, yeah, they did exaggerate it. It went further than it actually does in the show. The scootaloo chicken joke - Not fanon. The joke was actually in the show, and I provided proof. A popular fan joke does NOT make it fanon. Derpy having a long scene is NOT fanon. She has an equally long scene in the show. You need to learn what fanon is.

But people don\'t have problem with specific examples, they have problems with the general atmosphere. Just nitpicking it based on \"Well not every example technically falls under the exact definition of fanon\" isn\'t even the same point as what was intended. Also, the only reason I\'m being so adamant about having this here is because I\'ve seen many people have this complaint.

Fine, I went out to find more. Derpy\'s long scene, Roid Rage/Snowflake random appearance, Berry Punch has a wine cellar, several billboards featuring fan websites/authors... I just put down several instead of every single example because for a lot of tropes, you normally don\'t need to cite every single source to back up your claim. There are probably metatropes that back me up, but I think they only apply to adding shows to example pages, not examples to show pages.
