* IKnewIt: Commander Sprinkles being alive was something a lot of readers had speculated even early on. Granted, when he returns it's as an ''undead'', but still.

** [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist Pestilence]] is the third [[HorsemenOfTheApocalypse Horseman of the Apocalypse]] and the most malevolent. Taking Glitter's brother Starlight as his steed, Pestilence convinces Death that humanity deserves to suffer for their crimes and that the apocalypse shouldn't end. Pestilence unleashes [[ZombieApocalypse zombie plagues]] and has Sorceress experiment on immune magical creatures to find a way to infect them. Pestilence sends Death to kill Kate, the girl prophesied to stop the apocalypse, and has his zombies invade Griffin kingdom after he learns the heroes are there. When Death returns, having failed to kill Kate, Pestilence sends him to kill Famine, who refused to go along with his plan. Pestilence captures Glitter, Death's steed, and tries to have Death kill her to make sure the apocalypse is eternal. After Starlight frees his sister, Pestilence has him imprisoned. When the Fae queen Vardeline tries to offer him an alliance, Pestilence has her drained of her magic and left to die. He uses Fae magic to strengthen his zombies and sends them to attack Glacier Park, resulting in the infection of Famine's steed. When faced with the heroes and their army, Pestilence uses his zombies as a shield and gloats that with Fae magic, no being on the planet will be immune to his zombie plague.
** [[EvilSorceress The Sorceress]] is Pestilence's servant, tasked with finding ways to infect immune magical creatures. She is given Commander Sprinkles and allowed to [[PlayingWithSyringes experiment]] on him for months before turning him into a sapient zombie. The Sorceress then infects other unicorns and magical creatures. The Sorceress makes her base in the Grand Canyon where Summer Fae hid and fills her cave with trophies from her kills. The Sorceress starts capturing Fae in order to find a way to infect them, eventually capturing Queen Citrine. When Glitter, Blaze, and Peeble set off to rescue the Queen, Sorceress tries to get Sprinkles to murder his friends before sending her other unicorns at them.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Perhaps as a reaction to the readers' growing annoyance at the love triangle (see RomanticPlotTumor below) episode 125 sees it ''finally'' resolved, with Blaze confessing and apologizing for repeatedly letting his jealousy of Sprinkles get the better of him, while Glitter makes it clear that her and Sprinkles are JustFriends and that she's not yet ready to explore her feelings for Blaze.

* TheScrappy: Blaze isn't really well-liked among readers. Many consider his feelings toward Glitter too possessive and his constant jealous outbursts and tantrums every time it looks like Glitter might have feelings for someone else didn't exactly help his case. Not making it better is that his "confession" in episode 125 is motivated by yet another burst of jealousy after seeing Sprinkles comfort Glitter and the fact that his rant about how hard he worked for Glitter's affection and his frustration about seeing her give it to somebody else comes across as more than a bit [[EntitledToHaveYou entitled]].

** Around season 3 more and more readers became tired of the increasingly convoluted story twists that kept Glitter and Death apart, as many felt at this point the author was essentially just stalling and drawing the story out to an annoying degree. This got especially bad in episode 123, where Death and Glitter are ''finally'' reunited, but are kept from becoming steed and full-fledged rider ''once again'' by Famine stopping them at the last second. Viewers' frustration with this particular story-line became so bad, it got its own term: "steedblocking".

* RomanticPlotTumor: The LoveTriangle between Sergeant Glitter, Blaze and Commander Sprinkles is generally considered one of the weaker aspects of the story. Particularly since Blaze's jealousy over Glitter being more drawn to Sprinkles has him stuck with the JerkassBall more than once and Glitter's [[ObliviousToLove obliviousness]] to Blaze's obvious feelings for her makes her look uncharacteristically dense.
