* AuthorsSavingThrow: The notorious picture of the Elements in the pilot's opening sequence that looked nothing like the real things gets explained here: they really ''did'' look like that at the time.

* FanDislikedExplanation: The results of the long awaited original conflict between Celestia and Nightmare Moon was a brief fight that ended with Celestia defeating her before Nightmare Moon did anything worse then briefly KO her. This seemingly undermines [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Nightmare Moon's]] in-universe infamy, since no one but Celestia actually saw her or suffered anything worse than a few out-of-schedule moments of night due to her, and Princess Luna's GuiltComplex over it, since she was defeated before doing actually anything to warrant such guilt.

* MemeticMutation: The goofy scepter Discord gives Twilight seems to be quite popular. It ''already'' has an Blog/AskAPony-style [[http://asktwilightscepter.tumblr.com/ blog]]! Within 3 days of airing, it was modded into ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' and ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' as a prop, and initial {{Defictionalization}} attempts at the scepter have been made. Bronies also enjoy photoshopping the scepter into other images. It was also given a nickname, "Twilicane".

Within 3 days of airing, in a formal Princess get-up, he gives her a cane with her head topping it was modded into ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' and ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' as making a prop, and initial {{Defictionalization}} attempts at the scepter have been made. Bronies goofy grin. The thing is only on-screen for less than ten seconds, but "the Twilicane", also enjoy photoshopping known as the scepter into Twilight Sceptre, became a ridiculously popular meme; vectors of it with other images. It was also given a nickname, "Twilicane".characters instead of Twilight and the cane's expression slapped on other characters are widespread, it's been referenced in fangames and game mods, and it would go on to appear in several later episodes.

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The battle between Celestia and Nightmare Moon really shows off the animation upgrade for this season.

* InformedWrongness: While her friends' decision to send Twilight away is presented as a bad thing since they don't realize they need her intuition to help save the tree until afterward, their arguments are nonetheless valid. With Luna and Celestia gone and Cadance having her own kingdom to run, it would be rather disastrous if Equestria lost their last remaining princess over the course of the mission, especially if the loss of Luna and Celestia ends up being permanent. It doesn't help that Twilight isn't at her best, since her new wings are more of a hindrance than an asset and almost get her killed. This also goes for Twilight agreeing to it.



* WhatAnIdiot: The biggest point of contention people seem to have with this episode is Applejack sending Twilight away from their quest so that she could be there for Equestria, which the others go along with. It's not that their arguments weren't valid, but it never seems to occur to them that they're denying themselves their most powerful weapon, along with the fact that Twilight is without question TheSmartGuy of their group. They really kick themselves in the pants over it when they're powerless to do anything without her. Twilight herself gets an almost equal share for not even thinking that her Element might be needed to fix the tree it came from, only going back when Discord of all people talks some sense into her. Their only reason why they even do this in the first place is because Twilight is the only Princess remaining (sans Cadance, who is busy in her own Empire) and that Equestria can't afford to lose yet another Princess.

** The notorious picture of the Elements in the pilot's opening sequence that looked nothing like the real things gets explained here: they really ''did'' look like that at the time.
** One of the concerns of Twilight Sparkle becoming an alicorn princess would make her an overpowered sue. It didn't make her notably more powerful, contrary to [[{{Fanon}} what a good part of the fandom thinks about alicorns]], and she still needed her friends help. In fact, [[DeconstructedTrope her status as princess actually]] ''hampered'' their progress to saving the day instead of improving it.

moving to the Fridge Horror sub-page, the "non-canon" part will be deleted since Equestria Girls is a separate entity but is part of the continuity.

* FridgeHorror: While the showrunners have said to consider the events of ''Equestria Girls'' to be mostly non-canon with the show, if one thinks that Twilight allowed Sunset to destroy the gateway back to Equestria and leaving the Elements separated, Equestria would have been overrun by the Everfree Forest since they would have lacked the elements to repair the tree (barring Discord's willful stopping of the forest himself).

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Discord shows Twilight a picture of herself crying over Celestia's apparent defeat and taunts her about it. Sick but hilarious.
