** The Mane Six turning evil comes off as a response to their evil counterparts in "Reflections" going completely unutilized.
** Corrupted Fluttershy is pretty much all the fans' issues with the deer in "Root of the Problem" portrayed as villainous. Plus, the deer themselves are reduced to just another part of her army apparently without the sapience they had before.
** The water, which brings out its victim's dark side, turns Luna into Nightmare Moon, moving away from the Nightmare arc's rather unpopular idea that Nightmare Moon was a separate entity that used Luna as a vessel.[[note]]Despite the fact that that ''was'' Lauren Faust's intention, though always as a creation of Luna's own emotions rather than an alien entity.[[/note]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Considering Starlight Glimmer's comics debut immediately followed the conclusion of this arc, it presents something of a missed opportunity; If Starlight had been brought in during this story, we could have seen her taking on her corrupted teacher to protect Ponyville. It would be an interesting reversal of their clash in "The Cutie Re-Mark," with Starlight as the hero and Twilight as the villain.
