* As [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZva4bQKiHk&t=2m30s Sawtooth Waves]] points out, the punishment of the villains, no matter which way, is something that is downright detrimental in the long run one way or another. It is a simple case of looking at whether they are conscious while petrified and how long the spell lasts.

* Scootaloo's parents are revealed to be a pegasus and an earth pony. Earth ponies are physically heavier and stronger than unicorns or pegasi. If Scootaloo has earth pony genes from her father's side, she might be too heavy for her wings to carry her. Is this why she can't fly yet?

* In the intro scene, Fluttershy is leading a Predator-Prey Support Group, to combat [[RealityEnsues the issues of having animals at different stages of the food chain in one area.]] Her suggestion is for the predators to only eat vegetables while they're at the sanctuary. The predators we see are a bear, a raccoon, a snake, and a wolf. Some bears (it's not 100% clear what specific species the one shown here is) and raccoons are omnivores, so they ''might'' be able to pull it off. But wolves are obligate carnivores and simply can't survive on a vegan diet (a quick search will reveal several attempts of some to make their dogs go vegan with disastrous results). The different biology of snakes from the mammal predators also doesn't lend itself well to a vegan diet. Those two, and possibly more unseen, would become sick at best and end up dead at worst.

*** More "possible" than "likely", since her body becoming more like an alicorn's over time isn't a sign that it has an expiration date.

*** Discord's exact words were "Together forever. I can't think of anything that they would want ''less''." This implies that the intent was Permanent/Conscious; he clearly meant for this to be indefinite, and them being stuck together the whole time wouldn't matter if they were unaware of that fact.

** From what we've been told: First the Windigos almost destroyed everything, then the Sirens spread madness and strife across the nation, then the Pony of Shadows went on a rampage only stopping with the cost of Starswirl and the other Pillars, Sombra conquered and ruled the Crystal Empire before the whole place disappeared, Tirek showed up and drained who knows how many ponies before being sent to Tartarus, then Discord turned Eqestria into a living Nightmare until Celestia and Luna found the Elements of Harmony and then Luna attempts to plunge the world into unending night while becoming Nightmare Moon before being banished for a millennia by her own sister. And the whole time there were hostile dragons, yaks and changelings running around. Yeah, Twilight's really cleaned up the place since the series started as no threat has lasted more than a few days.

** Permanent/Unconscious: It is no different from an execution. It is a case of DeadGuyOnDisplay unlike Discord who was actually conscious for his imprisonment.
** Permanent/Conscious: FateWorseThanDeath.
** Non-permanent/Unconscious: They will just resume what they were doing as if nothing has changed, making them a SealedEvilInACan.
** Non-permanent/Conscious: They will be stewing in their anger in throughout the time they were imprisoned. This means that it is the same case as above but ''even worse''.

** "She's All Yak" may or may not have hinted at this. The line of "Cozy Glow ''and'' Sombra" of course might've been just because he only was mentioning Pony villains, but they're also the only two he's face first hoof. Perhaps he, and therefore, everyone remembers what it was like to be mind controlled by him? That's FridgeHorror worthy in itself!

[[folder: A Trivial Pursuit]]
* The [[RunningGag final time]] Cranky wakes up, he angrily yells, "Where are my morning haycakes?!" The only one who would make him morning haycakes is his wife Matilda, the love of his life, the girl he spent years traveling Equestria to find. The idea that he would yell at her like that over something so trivial is more than a little unsettling.

* Given that it seems like Twilight is grooming Luster to become her future successor for when she retires, who's to say Discord won't try to set up a test for her like he did with Twilight? Let's hope he's truly learned his lesson since then.

* When you think about it, Discord's plan going awry is at least partially Celestia and Luna's [[NiceJobBreakingItHero fault]]. Discord's plan was built around their original statement that Twilight's ascension to the throne would happen in "a few days", which was when he planned for the villains to launch their attack. When that was altered, Discord was left to string the villains along, causing them to resent "Grogar" for seemingly doing nothing, and for him playing the role of a BadBoss to keep them in line, ultimately driving them to turn against him (and having plenty of time to prepare their own plans). While their intent was to give Twilight more time to prepare, Celestia and Luna [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom unknowingly]] helped to make the events of the finale happen.

** Considering none of the Mane Six were invited, not even Pinkie who is a possible blood relative, despite their close friendship and honorary family status, it's not surprising that someone like Starlight wouldn't make the cut. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo likely wouldn't have been invited either if they hadn't been so involved in the relationship's development.

** Though canines aren't as restricted to meat as felines are. They can gain nutrition from plant sources and there's always the possibility of using milk for animal protein. Wolves are also known to go days, even weeks, between meals. Though, granted, usually when they've had a particularly ''large'' meal. It's possible the writers and animators realized this situation as the predators who readily agree are the omnivores while the wolf looks slightly distressed and the snake seems to do a shoulderless shrug (reptiles, with their slower metabolism, can go without food for a lot longer than mammals, and he may have been planning to cheat, anyway).
