History YMMV / PoniesMakeWar

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: Empyrean]]'s death is rather sad, given that he was forced to be a villain in the first place, is powerless when he dies, and is killed by [[spoiler: his own father]].
* CrazyAwesome: Aside from Pinkie Pie, there's also Sir Unimpressive:
--> '''Sir Unimpressive:''' ''Look! A shameless distraction!''
--> '''Puppets:''' [[MinionWithAnFInEvil *look*]]
--> '''Sir Unimpressive:''' ''Follow meeeeeeeee!''
--> '''Puppets:''' [[CrowningMomentOfFunny *follow*]]
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: When Fluttershy comforts Twilight after she finds her way back to the Loyalists' base.
** That being said, Twilight's reunions with all of her friends qualify... except Rainbow Dash, who can't bring herself to get over what Nihilus did to her. [[spoiler: Which makes their eventual reconciliation all the sweeter.]]
** TheReveal that [[spoiler: Spike is still alive]].
* CompleteMonster: Nihilus
** Terra and Titan as well -- they made the above, with full knowledge that Twilight would still be conscious.
** Esteem. He sees absolutely nothing wrong with murdering his own wife when she discovered his plan to overthrow Celestia, subjecting Rarity to TrainingFromHell to teach her bladecasting, jamming a [[ArtifactofDoom Artifact of Doom]] into [[EyeScream Twilight's eyeball]] to turn her into Titan's puppet, ruthlessly slaughtering any of his superiors and subordinates who refuse to support the new regime, and all on behalf of the EldritchAbomination he worships.
*** Although in fairness, it does give him a CrowningMomentOfAwesome when he first meets [[UpperClassTwit Prince Blueblood]] and learns[[spoiler: about the encounter he had with Rarity at the Gala]].
* HarsherInHindsight: Pinkie Pie knows every pony in Ponyville. Which means she knows ''everyone'' who died during Terra's attack on the town.
* TearJerker: Twilight realizing that Celestia used her, and coming to hate her for it, is heartwrenching. [[spoiler: Made worse by the fact that Celestia knows this is going to happen, and is devastated by it.]]
** Just try to get through Terra's flashback sequence in chapter 19 with dry eyes. I dare you.
