* FanDislikedExplanation: Twilight Sparkle explains she can't use her StoryBreakerPower to stop the the villains due to a law that princesses can't use their powers against Equestria's citizens even if they were threatening and attacking her friends and others. This was universally despised as horrifically {{out of character|Moment}} for Twilight, who had/would become the Princess of Friendship by [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E26TwilightsKingdomPart2 willing to sacrifice the only chance at saving Equestria to save her friends]], to be unwilling to do so especially over a law so arbitrary/minor [[AssPull it never came up when Twilight and the Princesses used their powers on others prior]]. Even those who felt this could have been theoretically valid balked once she used fraud and kidnapping (one of those she supposedly couldn't use her powers against) to trick them into breaking a mere properly law she was willing to use her powers over, making it so morally inconsistent it sunk whatever credibility the law had and left no reason for not just writing Twilight out of this story. Luckily the writers realized how poorly received it was and ignored it since with Twilight not hesitating to use her powers to protect others.
