History YMMV / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E22HurricaneFluttershy

* HarsherInHindsight:
** Fluttershy pretends to be sick by painting spots on her body. Earlier she's also disguised as a tree. The same colored spots [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E18AHealthOfInformation turn out to be a symptom of a real disease which Fluttershy comes down with, and almost turn her into a tree]].

** The "Hurricane" part of the title became this when seven months after the episode aired, Superstorm Sandy ravaged much of the U.S. Northeast, especially the New York City area and the Jersey Shore.

** Angel is more sympathetic towards Fluttershy, considering his behavior in his [[TookALevelInJerkass last]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E19PuttingYourHoofDown appearance.]]

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: At the end of the episode, are the other pegasi cheering for Fluttershy because they appreciate the help, or are they trying to make amends for the abuse they heaped on her in flight school?

** Similarly, after a lengthy number of UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist roles in the second season, Rainbow Dash has her loyal altrustic nature spotlighted to [[CharacterDevelopment even larger levels than before]].

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:

* HarsherInHindsight:
** Fluttershy breaking down after everypony laughs at her? [[WebAnimation/PonyDotMov Be glad she didn't become a psychotic killer]].
** ''FanFic/GettingBackOnYourHooves'' had a CircleOfShame flashback to flight school disturbingly similar to Fluttershy's in this episode, only with Rainbow Dash, despite the chapter being posted about two weeks before the episode aired.

'''Rainbow Dash:''' You're game!? [[note]]as part of the joke this is deliberately misheard as "[[MondeGreen you're gay!?]]"[[/note]] \\

* AccidentalAesop: From Dash's failed efforts to break the record; just because you can't be as good as you try, be comfortable with being good ''enough''.
* AlternateAesopInterpretation: Even years after the fact, Fluttershy is psychologically damaged by childhood bullying and teasing. Thus this could certainly be seen as a message about how badly that kind of thing can hurt someone.

* NeverLiveItDown: Surprisingly averted in the case of Cloudchaser and Flitter. The two are clearly laughing at Fluttershy during the first time she measures her wing power which in turn is what sets off her panic attack. Despite this and how the viewers normally react when a character treats Fluttershy in some sort of negative way (just look at Gilda) the two still have a bit of a following. Then again, them also congratulating her at the end of the episode may have made up for it.

** Only to have fans hate him again in ''Just for Sidekicks''.

** The massively-muscled pegasus with the tiny wings, who had fanart within about ten seconds of the preview clip airing. (Subsequently named either Snowflake or Roid Rage by the fandom)

** Rainbow Dash too for having to watch her best friend get bullied back in Flight Camp and fail at making the tornado in front of her [[WellDoneSonGuy idol]], Spitfire. It's hard not to applaud her and Fluttershy when the two finally make the tornado.

* EnsembleDarkHorse:

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The muscular pegasus appearing for a few seconds and screaming '''YEAH!''' Never established in previous episodes, has a NonStandardCharacterDesign, and barely acknowledged after an appearance. Retroactively {{Averted}} with the Season 3 episode, "Wonderbolt Academy", where he shows up again as a Wonderbolt cadet.
