* AnAesop:
** There are times when you need to step up and do things you aren't confident about for the sake of your friends.
** Being a good leader doesn't mean making everyone believe in your way of doing things and reject everything else, it's to let everyone be unique and listen to someone when they find a better way of doing things.
** If you're all take and no give when it comes to love, then you'll always be hungry.
** Not everypony will accept the olive branch.


Added DiffLines:

* LessonOfTheDaySpeech: Starlight Glimmer gives two.
** To Chrysalis: true leaders don't force others in line or to obey them, but encourages their uniqueness and listens if they find a better way.
** To Our Town: sometimes you have to step up and act no matter how much you doubt yourself.

Added Collective Death Glare

Added DiffLines:

* CollectiveDeathGlare: Following the Changelings' HeelRaceTurn and the destruction of Queen Chrysalis' throne, the former Changeling queen is given a whole round of furious glares from ''EVERYPONY'' she captured -- the princesses, the Mane Six, Spike, Shining Armor, the transformed Changelings, and the rescue party who came to save them (save for Starlight Glimmer, who tried to give her a chance at redemption). Even ''Baby Flurry Heart'' looks obviously ticked off at what Chrysalis did to her.

Didn't happen, not brought up, and speculation she knew but was intentionally lying about it.


* BadBoss: Chrysalis all but admits she cares only about furthering her own power, and that her people getting fed is only one of the ways she does so, and it turns out, she doesn't really care about ''that'' much either as she's been starving them ''on purpose''. Needless to say, the changelings turn on her and are pretty ''fed up'' with Chrysalis after her defeat, quickly making up for their earlier actions with kidnapping the Royal Family and Mane Six for Chrysalis's {{Revenge}}.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Chrysalis's plan; she declares that her drones disguised as the Mane Six and the royals will absorb all the love for said individuals... and then bring them back to ''her'' so that ''she'' can become more powerful, and so that all of Equestria will someday have no choice but to obey her command once she launches her second invasion and easily conquers it this time. She could even use the captured Royal Family and Mane Six as leverage to get Equestria to do as she commands, or else.

* WhatNowEnding: Chrysalis has escaped and will regroup with any remaining changelings that are loyal to her which includes the 12 changelings that had successfully infiltrated the Friendship Castle, Canterlot, and the Crystal Castle. Equestria and the Changeling Kingdom will be forced to deal with Chrysalis' subversions should she decide to act again. It also remains to be seen if the Changeling Kingdom will change from an unsettling labyrinth in a lifeless land to a beautiful and lively place that welcomes all visitors.

** Chrysalis receives this from ''everyone'' upon her defeat, especially the Royal Family and Mane Six, who are none too happy at having been her prisoners and being trapped in cocoons this whole time. The only exception is Starlight, who wants to give her a chance to redeem herself.

* NotSoDifferent: NotSoDifferentRemark: Starlight invokes this with Glimmer notes how she and Chrysalis are not all that different in how they tried to rule over their own subjects. Indeed, both of them kept others in line by denying them a part of their true forms and by brutally dealing with any dissenters or traitors. Starlight even offers Chrysalis a redemption at the end, knowing that when trying she rejected the same offer, terrible things happened. Unfortunately, Chrysalis ended up acting exactly like Starlight in the same situation, rejecting the offer and running off much to help her reform; unfortunately, it [[RedemptionRejection doesn't work.]]Starlight's dismay.

Desperation is a dangerous thing, and any means to end it or provide relief to suffering will make anyone do anything, even listening to a despotic, evil queen.

* PlotHole: Chrysalis's EvilPlan is revealed to be to replace and impersonate the most beloved beings in Equestria, including Celestia and Luna, to feed off the citizens love of them "for generations!" But it's unexplained how they could have kept up the act for more than a day as Celestia and Luna are required to raise the sun and moon each day and night, a power changelings lack. It was also night when they were captured but day immediately after their release.

And it's never stated that revenge was her true motive (makes sense given the comics, but so much about changelings has been ignored/retconned). The days thing is irrelevant given they were effectively in stasis.

Friendship Council wasn't a thing until the Series Finale. Those parts of her Warranty ultimately don't happen.


* BeingEvilSucks: It's implied that the changelings' insatiable hunger would never be cured under Chrysalis's rule and thus they would continue to ''starve''. Once Thorax shows the rest of them a better way, the changelings waste no time whatsoever following him and making up for their earlier kidnapping of the Royal Family and the Friendship Council for Chrysalis's personal revenge against them. Heck, several of them help Shining Armor and Cadance out of what's left of their shattered cocoons, and another one returns Flurry Heart to them.

* DarkestHour: Even more so than the previous episode, as the heroes are without their magic and wind up getting captured one by one, joining the already captured Royal Family and Friendship Council in cocoons. Thorax is captured and nearly executed when Chrysalis starts forcibly draining him of his love, while Starlight is forced to watch... until she remembers what caused Thorax to change and convinces him to share his love with Chrysalis. Things turn up from there.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Very much justified here as Chrysalis had basically won, since she had replaced all four princesses with her minions. The last minute HeelRaceTurn of her Swarm destroyed her entire plan, her throne, and freed the Royal Family and the Friendship Council from their cocoon captivity. Needless to say, once everything is set and done, they enjoy being able to go back home and get some rest and relaxation enjoying the Sunset Festival in Our Town with Starlight, Discord, and Trixie. Not to mention for the changelings; they are finally cured of their HorrorHunger and gain beautiful new forms. Also, Thorax not only accomplishes his goal of bringing friendship to his kind, but also becomes their new benevolent ruler in the process. The Royal Family, Mane Six, and the changelings ''definitely'' earned it this time.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Chrysalis manages to escape, but only after receiving another love-powered beating, having her AntiMagic throne destroyed, losing her hostages in the royals and the Mane Six, and finally being overthrown by the now Changeling King Thorax, leaving her completely alone and destroying much of the threat she formerly had. Worse, with the Royal Family and Friendship Council now knowing she's still out there and will be back, they will be ready for her when she returns. Even ''more'' worse, that army she used to have? They're now under the command of King Thorax and are allied with the ponies, and they're none too pleased with Chrysalis either.

* OhCrap: Chrysalis has one when her hive transforming causes her throne to be destroyed. She has a ''bigger'' one when she erupts from the ruins of it, hissing and ready for a fight, only to be faced with all the ponies she captured, who have now been freed, including all five Alicorn Princesses, the Friendship Council, and the Master of Chaos, joined by the now Changeling King Thorax and her reformed Swarm.

* TranquilFury: Even after being freed from their cocoons after being trapped in them for several hours, if not a couple of days, the Royal Family and the Friendship Council do a pretty good job containing their rage at Chrysalis as they prepare to tear her apart for what she did to them. Most only shoot her a DeathGlare. The Princesses, however, including Flurry Heart, have their horns flared and ready to blast her now that they can use their alicorn magic again.
