History YMMV / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E26TwilightsKingdomPart2

** Twilight's wobbly efforts at lowering the moon and raising the sun are similar to Twilight's lunar "puppet show" in the WebVideo/FriendshipisWitchcraft short "Star Waving Mad".

** The dynamics and scale of the battle between Twilight and Tirek are much like those of the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8er83h9Bbn8 Death Battle between Rainbow Dash and Starscream]].

* ShipTease: While the Discord/Celestia ship has always been mostly fanon, the ending of this episode has Discord giving Celestia flowers and winking at her, lending it some credence.

* TearJerker: [[spoiler: The destruction of Golden Oaks Library]] qualifies as one.

* HilariousInHindsight: Some of Twilight's magic blasts seem eerily similar to [[VideoGame/MyLittlePonyFightingIsMagic Twilight's "Story Arc Climax" super in Fighting is Magic]]. Doubly hilarious because the fight ''is'' the climax of the story.

* FanficFuel:

* TearJerker: [[spoiler: The destruction of Golden Oaks Library]] qualifies as one, at least for this troper.

* MoralEventHorizon: If [[{{Satan}} Lord Tirek]] hadn't crossed this already, he certainly did when he [[spoiler:imprisoned Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity and Spike, drained their magic, betrayed Discord ''and'' drained him of his magic]]. Even earlier than that, he [[spoiler:banishes Celestia, Luna, and Cadence to Tartarus, even though they have no magic and are powerful to do anything against him.]]

* {{HSQ}}: Everything from the Golden Oaks Library's destruction and the fight scene that follows is definitely not the sort of thing most would think would ever appear in the show.
