History WesternAnimation / MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsLegendOfEverfree

* RequiredSecondaryPowers: Rainbow Dash isn't severely harmed by things like her speed causing her to run into things.

* ScoobyDooHoax: Played with. Timber Spruce's legend about Gaea Everfree looks like the typical setup for an hoax, and he is indeed discovered trying to further it by leaving trails of jewel dust whenever something weird happens at camp. However, he's doing it not to hide mundane shenanigans under a pretense of supernatural mystery, but to hide a ''different'' supernatural phenomenon. And unlike what Sunset came to believe, [[spoiler:it wasn't aimed at scaring off the campers, but to protect Gloriosa Daisy from suspicion after her attempts at making this summer unforgettable for the campers.]]

* WackySoundEffect: When Rainbow Dash is tripped by Gaea Everfree and propelled against her friends by her momentum, sending them all sprawling, the sound effect heard is one of a bowling ball hitting pins.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Once again we see that a major problem in the world of the Equestria Girls is their poor communication. Twilight has a lot of fear and self loathing toward her new powers and at first doesn't want anyone to know about them, and then it takes Sunset literally reading her mind in order to finally get her to open up about her fears about becoming Midnight again.

* ObliviouslyEvil: [[spoiler:Gloriosa/Gaea Everfree honestly thinks that she's doing the right thing in sealing the camp off. Her comments not to fear her seem more in reaction to her altered appearance than her actions, and she can't understand why others would oppose her]].

* ObliviouslyEvil: [[spoiler:Gloriosa/Gaea Everfree honestly thinks that she's doing the right thing in sealing the camp off. Her comments not to fear her seem more in reaction to her altered appearance than her actions, and she can't understand why the Equestria Girls would oppose her]].

** [[spoiler:The Equestria Girls also get new hairstyles when they use the magic geodes.]]

* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: Par for the course. The final move of the Equestria Girls [[spoiler:empowered by the geodes is to fire "magical rainbow lasers" at Gaea Everfree's encompassing dome of bramble vines, vaporizing it. Note that the seven colors used aren't exactly those of the rainbow, though, but the colors commonly associated with every character: blue (Rainbow Dash), pink (Pinkie Pie), white (Rarity), yellow (Fluttershy), orange (Applejack), red (Sunset Shimmer) and purple (Twilight Sparkle)]].

** In Twilight's nightmare, Rarity insists on packing the same dress Princess Twilight wore to the Fall Formal from the first film.[[note]]Or at least, a similar dress, considering Twilight walked into the portal in said dress, which thus disappeared upon reaching Equestria. It's a dream anyway, so it can hardly be called a continuity error.[[/note]]

* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: [[spoiler:The Equestrian geodes Gloriosa finds give her GreenThumb abilities. Once the geodes are transferred over to the girls, they become lockets, which they decide to hold onto for the time being.]]

** When Gloriosa asks the Equestria Girls how they could set up a fundraiser ball in one day, their answer is "We got this!", echoing again her constant reassurances.

* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: [[spoiler:The Equestrian geodes Gloriosa finds give her GreenThumb abilities. Once the geodes are transferred over to the Equestria Girls, they become lockets, which they decide to hold onto for the time being.]]

* DescriptionCut: [[spoiler: Near the end, Sunset says to Twilight, "Where did the magic that hit this cave come from?" Cue the transition to Canterlot High, showing the still-broken statue with a small crack in it with Equestrian magic leaking through...]]

''My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Legend of Everfree'' is the fourth movie in the ''Franchise/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' line of films, itself a spin-off of the animated television show ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. In a departure to the previous films, it debuted on Creator/{{Netflix}} on October 1, 2016 (although it [[ShortRunInPeru did debute in Brazil on September 24, 2016]] on Discovery Kids). A [[NovelizationFirst novelization and picture book adaptation were released on September 6, 2016]].

** The novelization makes a passing reference that Sunset Shimmer also suffered nightmares after [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls what happened at the Fall Formal]].

** After arriving at camp, the girls are glad they'll get a chance to relax after the string of magic crisis they've had to deal with; Pinkie Pie lists off [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks the three sirens]], [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames their ridiculously over-competitive rival school, and two]] [[WesternAnimation/MylittlePonyEquestriaGirls demon friends]].

---->'''Pinkie Pie:''' [[Creator/OprahWinfrey You need more sprinkles, and YOU need more sprinkles!]]

** Fluttershy mentions she can write a new song, like she did in ''Rainbow Rocks''. Later at the Crystal Gala, the Rainbooms are back as a band (with their iconic instruments) to sing said song, "Be the Legend You Were Meant to Be".

* ChildishPillowFight: One of the snapshots shown during the song "Be the Legend You Were Meant to Be" features Applejack, Sunset Shimmer and Rainbow Dash indulging in a pillow fight.

* GoodTimesMontage: The song "Be the Legend You Were Meant to Be" includes snapshots showing the girls having fun at Camp Everfree (presumably in the following days), including mugging the camera, fishing on the lake, eating s'mores by the campfire, having a pillow fight, or just hanging out between friends.

** The song "Be the Legend You Were Meant to Be" is both sung during the Crystal Gala, ''and'' shows the preparations for it (thus in the form of flashbacks), with clearing up the entrance of boulders, writing and sending the invitations, setting up the musical equipment, decorations and lights, preparing the food (or saving it from mishaps), etc. Though it is intercut by snapshots that fall instead into GoodTimesMontage.

* BigBadEnsemble: Although the movie focuses on Gaea Everfree, the eponymous "Legend of Everfree", since she's the most immediate threat, the story counts in fact three main villains. First Gaea Everfree[[spoiler:/Gloriosa Daisy, who can be described as a WellIntentionedExtremist]]; then Midnight Sparkle, who's roaming inside Twilight's mind and threatens to break free if she relies too much on magic (which would be infinitely more dangerous that whatever Gaea is doing, given the chaos she caused in the last movie); and finally Filthy Rich, who's the mundane threat to the camp, planning to turn it into a spa resort. All three have to be foiled before the Humane Seven can claim full victory.

* BusmansHoliday: The Humane Seven go to camp to get away from the magical weirdness at CHS, only to find another adventure. They lampshade this repeatedly.

** Sunset Shimmer's solo song "Embrace the Magic" shows the Humane Five working on rebuilding the dock while coming to control their magic in the process.

* HowDoIShotWeb: As the Humane Seven gain magical abilities, they're unsure of how to use them at first. This leads to several instances of them hurting themselves (and almost each other), like Dash's SuperSpeed causing her to run face-first into a wall, or Rarity's [[BarrierWarrior gem barriers]] pushing Applejack into the lake. Sunset helps them out with a song called "Embrace the Magic", where the girls get their powers under control.

** Timber tries to get through to DrunkOnTheDarkSide [[spoiler:Gloriosa]] one more time after the Humane Five are unable to stop her. Twilight and Sunset show up, telling him it isn't [[spoiler:his sister]] anymore as she's already in too deep with the magic corruption. At that point she doesn't even seem to acknowledge them getting through the wood barrier she had setup.

* MassOhCrap: After finding out about their powers, the Humane Five try to ''carefully'' work on the dock. Then Pinkie, whose power is making things she throws explode, tosses a box of nails.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Once again we see that a major problem of the Humane Seven is their poor communication. Twilight has a lot of fear and self loathing toward her new powers and at first doesn't want anyone to know about them, and then it takes Sunset literally reading her mind in order to finally get her to open up about her fears about becoming Midnight again.

** First, the Humane Five gather together and psych themselves up to fight Gaea Everfree.

* BigBadEnsemble: Although the movie focuses on Gaea Everfree, the eponymous "Legend of Everfree", since she's the most immediate threat, the story counts in fact three main villains. First Gaea Everfree[[spoiler:/Gloriosa Daisy, who can be described as a WellIntentionedExtremist]]; then Midnight Sparkle, who's roaming inside Twilight's mind and threatens to break free if she relies too much on magic (which would be infinitely more dangerous that whatever Gaea is doing, given the chaos she caused in the last movie); and finally Filthy Rich, who's the mundane threat to the camp, planning to turn it into a spa resort. All three have to be foiled before the seven heroines can claim full victory.

* BusmansHoliday: The girls go to camp to get away from the magical weirdness at CHS, only to find another adventure. They lampshade this repeatedly.

** Muffins taps Flash Sentry on the shoulder to comfort him, like she did in the previous movie.

* DeflectorShields: Rarity's new power is to create diamond-shaped barriers of force. She can put them to different uses (as seen when she saves Muffins from a dive in the lake), though they are primarily an excellent defense. In the fight against Gaea Everfree, she saves her friends several time by erecting domed barriers. However, against the full might of the crazed nature spirit, she can't keep it up forever and the shield starts to crack.

** For example, in one shot Muffins is seen carrying a hammer in her mouth with a goofy expression, as her arms are full.
** In another, Muffins is clinging to Bulk Biceps's arm as he's flexing it.

** Sunset Shimmer's solo song "Embrace the Magic" shows everyone but Twilight (who is absent) working on rebuilding the dock while coming to control their magic in the process.

* HeadPet: Muffins' fancy dress for the fundraiser includes a nest with a bluebird in it on her head.

* HowDoIShotWeb: As the Equestria Girls gain magical abilities, they're unsure of how to use them at first. This leads to several instances of them hurting themselves (and almost each other), like Dash's SuperSpeed causing her to run face-first into a wall, or Rarity's [[BarrierWarrior gem barriers]] pushing Applejack into the lake. Sunset helps them out with a song called "Embrace the Magic", where the girls get their powers under control.

** Timber tries to get through to DrunkOnTheDarkSide [[spoiler:Gloriosa]] one more time after the the girls (sans Sunset and Twilight) are unable to stop her. Twilight and Sunset show up, telling him it isn't [[spoiler:his sister]] anymore as she's already in too deep with the magic corruption. At that point she doesn't even seem to acknowledge them getting through the wood barrier she had setup.

* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: Rarity's diamond-like constructions are mainly used for defense or pushing people away, but there are hints that the power might be much more versatile, like when she creates a floating raft for Muffins, or builds a gemstone chandelier for the Crystal Gala. In fact, this can even draw comparisons with Radiance from the "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E6PowerPonies Power Ponies]]".

* MassOhCrap: After finding out about their powers, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Applejack try to ''carefully'' work on the dock. Then Pinkie, whose power is making things she throws explode, tosses a box of nails.

** When the geodes [[spoiler:find their rightful bearers, they transform from rocks into lockets around the girls' necks. Just like how the Elements of Harmony transformed themselves into jewelry when the girls proved themselves to be worthy of them.]]

* PoorCommunicationKills: Once again we see that a major problem of the Equestria Girls is their poor communication. Twilight has a lot of fear and self loathing toward her new powers and at first doesn't want anyone to know about them, and then it takes Sunset literally reading her mind in order to finally get her to open up about her fears about becoming Midnight again.

** The new dock gets destroyed three times over the movie. Muffins and Sandalwood wreck it the first time by crashing a sailboat into it. The second time, Gaea Everfree's brambles tear into it, and Rainbow Dash starts ranting that they had ''literally'' just fixed it. [[spoiler:Pinkie does it in the third time by throwing explosive marshmallows.]]
** Continuing from [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames the previous movie]], Muffins comes to console Flash Sentry when he's rejected.

* SuddenlyVoiced: The human version of Muffins speaks for the first time in this movie (with the same voice her pony counterpart has in "Slice of Life").

** First, when Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash gather together and psych themselves up to fight Gaea Everfree.

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Gloriosa is in serious debt with Filthy Rich, who plans to get rid of the camp because of Gloriosa's serious debts to him -- their landlord -- while Twilight is having recurring nightmares of Midnight Sparkle coming back for her and is losing control of her magic powers. The two characters basically try to keep their problems secret and deal with it themselves, which naturally goes FromBadToWorse throughout the whole film. [[spoiler:Gloriosa gains dark magic and nearly kills her own campers by trapping them in the camp with overgrown vines, forcing Twilight to get over her sadness and use ThePowerOfFriendship to defeat her]], but in the end both characters would've avoided these scenarios if they had simply talked to others about dealing with their problems. Special mention goes to Gloriosa, who lampshades that if she'd simply talked things out with the campers about saving her home instead of letting things fly off the handle, there wouldn't have been so many problems.

-->'''Gaea Everfree: [[spoiler:Right here you have me to protect you within these walls of thorns...forever free, forevermore.''']]

* AlternateUniverse: As per ''Equestria Girls'' tradition, this movie takes place in the human world, populated with human counterparts of Equestrian ponies.

* BigBadEnsemble: Although the movie focuses on Gaea Everfree, the eponymous "Legend of Everfree", since she's the most immediate threat, the story counts in fact three main villains. First Gaea Everfree[[spoiler:/Gloriosa Daisy, who can be described as a WellIntentionedExtremist]]; then Midnight Sparkle, who's roaming inside Twilight's mind and threatens to break free if she relies too much on magic (which would be infinitely more dangerous that whatever Gaea is doing, given the chaos she caused in the last movie); and finally Filthy Rich, who's the mundane threat to the camp, planning to turn it into a spa resort. All three have to be foiled before the Humane Seven can claim full victory.

* BusmansHoliday: The Humane Seven go to camp to get away from the magical weirdness at CHS, only to find another adventure. They lampshade this repeatedly.

* CharacterShilling: In the novel, at least. Timber Spruce is described by the girls as very cool guy who would be great for Twilight, despite them meeting him for the first time ''[[StrangledByTheRedString a few minutes ago]]''. [[ShowDontTell This is not present in the movie]].

** Derpy taps Flash Sentry on the shoulder to comfort him, like she did in the previous movie.

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Gloriosa is in serious debt with Filthy Rich, who plans to buy out the camp because nobody appreciates it anymore, while Twilight is having recurring nightmares of Midnight Sparkle coming back for her and is losing control of her magic powers. The two characters basically try to keep their problems secret and deal with it themselves, which naturally goes FromBadToWorse throughout the whole film. [[spoiler:Gloriosa gains dark magic and nearly kills her own campers by trapping them in the camp with overgrown vines, forcing Twilight to get over her sadness and use ThePowerOfFriendship to defeat her]], but in the end both characters would've avoided these scenarios if they had simply talked to others about dealing with their problems. Special mention goes to Gloriosa, who lampshades that if she'd simply talked things out with the campers about saving her home instead of letting things fly off the handle, there wouldn't have been so many problems.

* CreditsGag: Similar to "Slice of Life", Derpy is credited as "Muffins", likely to avoid mentioning her name due to the debacle with "The Last Roundup".

* DeflectorShields: Rarity's new power is to create diamond-shaped barriers of force. She can put them to different uses (as seen when she saves Derpy from a dive in the lake), though they are primarily an excellent defense. In the fight against Gaea Everfree, she saves her friends several time by erecting domed barriers. However, against the full might of the crazed nature spirit, she can't keep it up forever and the shield starts to crack.
* DisappearedDad: Like with Applejack's parents, it's implied Timber and Gloriosa's parents have passed away when, at the end of the movie, Gloriosa tells Timber there are people looking for them who were friends of their parents. This also explains why two people as young as them own and run a summer camp.

** For example, in one shot Derpy is seen carrying a hammer in her mouth with a goofy expression, as her arms are full.
** In another, Derpy is clinging to Bulk Biceps's arm as he's flexing it.

** Sunset Shimmer's solo song "Embrace the Magic" shows the Humane Five working on rebuilding the dock while coming to control their magic in the process.

* HeadPet: Derpy's fancy dress for the fundraiser includes a nest with a bluebird in it on her head.

* HowDoIShotWeb: As the Humane Seven gain magical abilities, they're unsure of how to use them at first.

Sunset helps them out with a song called "Embrace the Magic", where the girls get their powers under control.

** Timber tries to get through to DrunkOnTheDarkSide [[spoiler:Gloriosa]] one more time after the Humane Five are unable to stop her. Twilight and Sunset show up, telling him it isn't [[spoiler:his sister]] anymore as she's already in too deep with the magic corruption. At that point she doesn't even seem to acknowledge them getting through the wood barrier she had setup.

* ImaginationBasedSuperpower: Rarity's diamond-like constructions are mainly used for defense or pushing people away, but there are hints that the power might be much more versatile, like when she creates a floating raft for Derpy, or builds a gemstone chandelier for the Crystal Gala. In fact, this can even draw comparisons with Radiance from the "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E6PowerPonies Power Ponies]]".

* LotsOfLuggage: Rarity comes prepared with countless dresses and fashion supplies, as per usual.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Despite (hotly debated by fans) efforts by the writters for a better romantic plot, this is [[https://youtu.be/IOLy19wJf4w?t=11 literally how the romance between Twilight Sparkle and Timber Spruce starts]]. They start flirting and blushing in their first meeting.

* MagicalGirl: Even moreso than in previous installments, as the Humane Cast begin to get new powers [[spoiler:and their upgrade comes with magical-girl uniforms.]]

* MassOhCrap: After finding out about their powers, the Humane Five try to ''carefully'' work on the dock. Then Pinkie, whose power is making things she throws explode, tosses a box of nails.

** When the geodes [[spoiler:find their rightful bearers, they transform from rocks into lockets around the girls' necks. Just like how the Elements of Harmony transformed themselves into jewelry when the Mane Six proved themselves to be worthy of them.]]

* PoorCommunicationKills: Once again we see that a major problem of the Humane Seven is their poor communication. Twilight has a lot of fear and self loathing toward her new powers and at first doesn't want anyone to know about them, and then it takes Sunset literally reading her mind in order to finally get her to open up about her fears about becoming Midnight again.

The second time, Gaea Everfree's brambles tear into it, and Rainbow Dash starts ranting that they had ''literally'' just fixed it. [[spoiler:Pinkie does it in the third time by throwing explosive marshmallows.]]
** Continuing from [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames the previous movie]], Derpy comes to console Flash Sentry when he's rejected.

* SuddenlyVoiced: The human version of Derpy/Muffins speaks for the first time in this movie (with the same voice her pony counterpart has in "Slice of Life").

** First, when the Humane Five gather together and psych themselves up to fight Gaea Everfree.

** The powers the heroes get all match their personalities, some more obviously than others. Fluttershy's SpeaksFluentAnimal, Applejack's SuperStrength, Rainbow Dash's SuperSpeed and Twilight's MindOverMatter all reference abilities their Equestrian counterparts have in addition to fitting them personally. Sunset's TouchTelepathy ability reflect her CharacterDevelopment and greater normal empathy, Pinkie's explosions her energetic nature and love of party cannons, and Rarity's barriers are based on her generosity in protecting others.

* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: The way Twilight sees the relationship between herself and Midnight Sparkle, with herself as the person-shaped can.

* ShipperOnDeck: Sunset for Twilight and Timber Spruce. The other girls and Spike ship it too, but Sunset is the most active in her support.

** [[spoiler:Gaea Everfree to Gloriosa in the climax]].

** "[[ArcWords I've Got This]]".

* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Gloriosa only wants to save her family camp, or, failing that, make the last session as fun as possible. However, she is toying with forces she has no idea how to control, and almost seals off everyone in the camp.]]
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: A recurring theme for ''Equestria Girls''. [[spoiler:The Equestrian magic in their world is not evil in and of itself, but it can overwhelm and consume a unprepared mind (in this case Gloriosa), leading them to obsessive and destructive impulses that vary depending on the individual. In Gloriosa's case it leads to her trying to "protect" the camp by trapping everyone in it forever. Aside from her obvious behavior, we also see the magic steadily eating away at her sanity as she repeatedly twitches, holds her head, smiles madly and even contorts unnaturally.]]

** Unlike the previous movie, this one doesn't immediately follow on from ''Friendship Games'' and [[spoiler: the whole matter with the alternate Twilight from TheStinger of the last movie was resolved in the book ''Twilight's Sparkly Sleepover Surprise.'']] Though if you didn't read it, it would come off as an AbortedArc since it's never mentioned in the movie.

* AlmostKiss: [[spoiler:Twilight and Timber nearly kiss during the Crystal Gala fundraiser, but Gloriosa ruins the moment]]. Curiously absent in the novelization.
* AlternateUniverse: As per ''Equestria Girls'' tradition.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: {{Lampshaded}}: When Applejack discounts the possibility of Gaea Everfree being real, Rainbow Dash points out that she would completely fit in with everything they've experienced thus far.

** Twilight Sparkle has recurring nightmares about Midnight Sparkle, the villain she became temporarily in the previous movie. The movie opens with one, where Midnight Sparkle shows up in her room, dissolves the whole place as well as her friends, and states that Twilight will never be free of her. She also has one during the first night at Camp Everfree, with Midnight Sparkle bursting out the campfire.

* BigBad: Gaea Everfree, a nature-controlling HumanoidAbomination. [[spoiler:It's actually Gloriosa Daisy, who assumes her form after getting DrunkOnTheDarkSide.]]
* BigBadEnsemble: Although the movie focuses on Gaea Everfree, the eponymous "Legend of Everfree", since she's the most immediate threat, the story counts in fact three main villains. First Gaea Everfree[[spoiler:/Gloriosa Daisy, who can be described as a WellIntentionedExtremist]]; then Midnight Sparkle, who's roaming inside Twilight's mind and threatens to break free if she relies too much on magic (which would be infinitely more dangerous that whatever Gaea is doing, given the chaos she caused in the last movie); and finally Filthy Rich, who's the mundane threat to the camp, planning to turn it into a spa resort. All three have to be foiled before the protagonists can claim full victory.

* BusmansHoliday: The protagonists go to camp to get away from the magical weirdness at CHS, only to find another adventure. They lampshade this repeatedly.

* CampingEpisode: The whole movie is a camping episode for the ''Equestria Girls'' series, as it is almost entirely set in a summer camp, Camp Everfree, and features plenty activities typical of such a place.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Filthy Rich doesn't care if Gloriosa and Timber have a history with the camp; if they can't pay, he's kicking them out. That said he's more of a "mean" corporate executive, as he was fully within his rights to take the camp when she couldn't afford to pay for it anymore, and he does cut them more slack than he had to by giving them a month to find the funds.

** Twilight ditched the PrimAndProperBun she wore as a Crystal Prep student for a simple high ponytail.

* ForbiddenChekhovsGun: Timber Spruce mentions from the get-go that the abandoned rock quarry is off-limit. Although it's perfectly logical for such a place to be considered dangerous, it naturally proves later to have a very important place in the plot.

* HowDoIShotWeb: As the seven protagonists gain magical abilities, they're unsure of how to use them at first. This leads to several instances of them hurting themselves (and almost each other), like Dash's SuperSpeed causing her to run face-first into a wall, or Rarity's [[BarrierWarrior gem barriers]] pushing Applejack into the lake. Sunset helps them out with a song called "Embrace the Magic", where the girls get their powers under control.

* IgnoranceIsBliss: Twilight, as a result of her Midnight Sparkle angst, feels this way about her not knowing magic existed.
* IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance: Twilight describes her pre-"Friendship Games" self as this in her "The Midnight in Me" song.

** Seemingly played straight when Sunset becomes excited when the girls gain magical abilities and wants to discover why and how to control it, but human Twilight doesn't want to think about it because she is afraid of becoming Midnight Sparkle, which Sunset doesn't pick up on until very late in the film. But then it's also subverted by the fact Sunset is the one who first notices Twilight's issues, helping her the most with them, [[SecretKeeper keeping Twilight's powers a secret]], and that Sunset, in the end, is right, as Twilight fearing her own magic is what cause all her troubles with it. The moment Twilight finally follows Sunset's advice, [[spoiler:and embraces her magic, it solves her problems and Twilight vanquishes Midnight within herself.]]

* LateForSchool: Well, it's camp instead of school, but Twilight oversleeping in her dream otherwise fits pretty well.

* LoveAtFirstSight: Despite (hotly debated by fans) efforts by the writters for a better romantic plot, this is [[https://youtu.be/IOLy19wJf4w?t=11 literally how the romance between Twilight Sparkle and Timber Spruce starts]].

* MadnessMantra: Gaea's "I got this", evolved from Gloriosa's CatchPhrase.

* MomentKiller: Gloriosa interrupts a moment between Twilight and Timber at the end.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Once again we see that a major problem of the protagonists is their poor communication. Twilight has a lot of fear and self loathing toward her new powers and at first doesn't want anyone to know about them, and then it takes Sunset literally reading her mind in order to finally get her to open up about her fears about becoming Midnight again.

* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: [[spoiler:The Equestrian geodes Gloriosa finds give her GreenThumb abilities. Once the geodes are transferred over to the Humane Seven, they become lockets, which they decide to hold onto for the time being.]]

* BusmansHoliday: The Humane Seven go to camp to get away from the magical weirdness at CHS, only to find another adventure. They lampshade this repeatedly.

* CharacterShilling: In the novel, at least. Timber Spruce is described by the Humane Seven as very cool guy who would be great for Twilight, despite the girls meeting him for the first time ''[[StrangledByTheRedString a few minutes ago]]''. [[ShowDontTell This is not present in the movie]].

* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:Once Gloriosa Daisy is purged of Gaea Everfree's magic, Timber Spruce, the Humane Seven, and the rest of CHS realize everything that happened wasn't really her fault and forgive her. They even help set up a fundraiser in order for Camp Everfree to continue.]]

* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: Par for the course. The final move of the Humane Seven [[spoiler:empowered by the geodes is to fire "magical rainbow lasers" at Gaea Everfree's encompassing dome of bramble vines, vaporizing it. Note that the seven colors used aren't exactly those of the rainbow, though, but the colors commonly associated with every character: blue (Rainbow Dash), pink (Pinkie Pie), white (Rarity), yellow (Fluttershy), orange (Applejack), red (Sunset Shimmer) and purple (Twilight Sparkle)]].

** [[spoiler:The Humane Seven also get new hairstyles when they use the magic geodes.]]

* HowDoIShotWeb: As the Humane Seven gain magical abilities, they're unsure of how to use them at first. This leads to several instances of them hurting themselves (and almost each other), like Dash's SuperSpeed causing her to run face-first into a wall, or Rarity's [[BarrierWarrior gem barriers]] pushing Applejack into the lake. Sunset helps them out with a song called "Embrace the Magic", where the girls get their powers under control.

** Done preemptively via CircleOfFriendship by the Humane Six when Twilight begins to give in to Midnight Sparkle's influence.

** When the geodes [[spoiler:find their rightful bearers, they transform from rocks into lockets around the Humane Seven's necks. Just like how the Elements of Harmony transformed themselves into jewelry when the Mane Six proved themselves to be worthy of them.]]

* ObliviouslyEvil: [[spoiler:Gloriosa/Gaea Everfree honestly thinks that she's doing the right thing in sealing the camp off. Her comments not to fear her seem more in reaction to her altered appearance than her actions, and she can't understand why the Humane Seven would oppose her]].

* PepTalkSong: When the newly superpowered Humane Six start acting extra careful out of fear of using their powers by accident and causing trouble, Sunset helps her friends overcome their PowerIncontinence with a song, "Embrace the Magic".

* PoorCommunicationKills: Once again we see that a major problem of the Humane Seven is their poor communication. Twilight has a lot of fear and self loathing toward her new powers and at first doesn't want anyone to know about them, and then it takes Sunset literally reading her mind in order to finally get her to open up about her fears about becoming Midnight again.
* PowerCrystal: Gloriosa gets her magic from the crystals around her neck. [[spoiler:When she's defeated, they end up in the Humane Seven's possessions as a set of lockets]].

** The new dock gets destroyed three times over the movie. Derpy and Sandalwood wreck it the first time by crashing a sailboat into it. The second time, Rainbow Dash starts ranting that they had ''literally'' just fixed it. [[spoiler:Pinkie does it in the third time by throwing explosive marshmallows.]]
