* FridgeLogic: Why are the human worlds version of the Power Ponies still called "Ponies"? And why would "Stalwart Stallion" be named as such in a world full of humans?

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Starlight Glimmer again. Much of the fanbase adored Sunset and Starlight ''finally'' getting to meet face-to-face and even see Starlight in human form. However, this came at the cost of Sunset and the other main characters [[TheWorfEffect being made completely useless]] so that Starlight could be the one to defeat Juniper Montage and save the day once more, much like [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E25ToWhereAndBackAgainPart1 the Season 6 finale]]. To many others, this was yet another example of [[CreatorsPet character shilling for Starlight]].

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot:
** Many fans expected "Mirror Magic" to focus more on Sunset Shimmer's return to Equestria, when it really sets up the plot to have Sunset and Starlight Glimmer be initially absent from Juniper's revenge.
** Also, many felt that Starlight defeating Juniper's SuperPoweredEvilSide was yet more evidence of her being a CreatorsPet. Sunset does get some CharacterDevelopment where she worries about what's coming thank to she and her friends getting superpowers, and has already been portrayed as nervous about magic, but some fans felt she should have talked to Princess Twilight about it instead of her pupil.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: "Mirror Magic" involves Sunset Shimmer going back to Equestria, that alone could have been it's own full length movie instead of a 22 minute special.

** The fandom has long been awaiting a meeting between Sunset and Starlight, with the common idea being the two will become rivals. In fact, the synopsis for the special implies they'll become friends.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Starlight Glimmer again.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Not everyone was satisfied with the synopsis for the third special. Fans have begged for Sunset's return to Equestria so she can have an emotional reunion with Celestia, so when it was announced she would return only to instead go on an adventure back in the human world with Starlight, most of the fans saw it as a ''huge'' missed opportunity. Although one must remember that with the lack of available information on the specials as of this writing — brief synopses aside — means there ''might'' be some interesting surprises in store (including this particular plot point being touched upon). Or maybe not.
