** Played with to: "They missed a chance to make a good line", Chrysalis mentioned the wedding wasn't a good plan. Though it would've been great for her to rub it on their faces of how the others would turn their backs on Twilight again, regardless of the others moving on or not.

** Flurry Heart's Crystalling filled the Crystal Empire with more love than anyplace in Equestria. Yet, the alicorn baby who has so much love around her doesn't seem to be significant enough to warrant Queen Chrysalis close attention in the story.

* ContestedSequel: To ''Twilight's Kingdom'' and ''The Cutie Re-Mark''. Fans appreciated the change in status quo and having a villain ''not'' being reformed and remaining evil for another go, but don't like the anti-climactic resolution and see this two-parter as a pretty lacking and disappointing end to Season Six. Others like the twist and see it as a perfect setup for the recently-announced Season Seven.

* CounterpartComparison: The changelings turn out to be quite a bit like the [[Literature/{{Animorphs}} Taxxons]], seemingly evil creatures who are actually constantly hungry and desperate to fill that need, most of whom leap at the chance of another lifestyle where they won't have to suffer that feeling anymore.

** The much-derided constant shilling of Starlight's magic turns out to actually be building up to a story where she has to do without it, showing qualities that truly prove her to be a worthy leader.

* HeroesFrontierStep: Thorax and Trixie was never really bad characters to begin with, and Starlight Glimmer and already completeing a turnaround, but this two-parter really turned the corner on ''Discord'', for the first time, demonstrated real heroism and doing something for someone elses' sake rather than for his own amusement or to grab attention.

** Before this episode there was some debate as to whether the changelings and Chrysalis were actually evil villains or just a species that needed to feed off others in order to survive. This episode shows that no, they don't need to steal love, it is in fact an inefficient way for them to feed. It is also implied Chrysalis knew this and kept her subjects constantly starved in order for them to be easier to rule.

* FridgeBrilliance: The Changelings' transformation has a subtle bit of this--when they're starved for love, they're scrawny little things with a sickly color scheme and pores in their bodies that make them look as though they're ''literally'' wasting away. In their new, reformed appearance, where they no longer feed on love nor are starved for it, the pores disappear, they have much brighter (read: Healthier) looking color schemes and their bodies are much more strongly built. Their new forms are ''full'', their old forms are ''starving''.

** The Changelings quickly accepting Thorax's method makes a lot of sense when you remember one thing: they were ''literally'' starving ''all the time''. ''Of course'' they'd jump at the chance to finally be ''full''.
** Another reason, in addition to the above, is it's implied Chrysalis ''conditioned'' the Changelings to be absolutely loyal to their queen...which worked fine when she was the ''only'' Changeling Royal, but once Thorax turned into what seems to be ''another'' Changeling Royal, they have a ''choice''. Combined with the above, them jumping ship to Thorax makes much more sense.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The reformation of major villains has been a touchy subject amongst the fandom, and the Changelings' HeelFaceTurn is no different. However, [[BaitAndSwitch while seemingly tempted]], Chrysalis [[RedemptionRejection refuses]] to follow her former subjects and flies off more vindictive and evil than ever.

She already crossed it in "A Canterlot Wedding". It can't be crossed more then once.


* MoralEventHorizon: Chrysalis takes a flying leap over this when she tries to forcibly reverse Thorax's HeelFaceTurn by slowly (and apparently painfully) draining the love from him so she can force him back into starving and serving her. Fittingly, after this she's the only changeling who isn't redeemed (though that doesn't stop Starlight from trying).

** Before this part, fans wondered how Discord wouldn't invoke StoryBreakerPower, especially since his drive to save Fluttershy would override his usual ComplexityAddiction. It turns out that Chrysalis has a big HomeFieldAdvantage in the form of her massive PowerNullifier throne, thus invoking BroughtDownToNormal on Discord as long as he's in Changeling territory.
*** The presence of said PowerNullifier throne also gave a legitimate reason for how [[WorfEffect the Mane Six and the Princesses were defeated by mere Changeling drones]]; it would be all too easy for Chrysalis to just give them pieces of the throne and use those to keep them from fighting back.

* HilariousInHindsight: The Changelings reformation is ''very'' similar to how it happened in the ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries'': them finding out they don't ''need'' to steal love and it is in fact ''inferior'' to gaining love via sharing it. Then transforming into a more beautiful form as a result is ''also'' what happened when Cadence reformed them in [[BadFuture Dark World]]. Death via the Queen draining all the love out of a Changeling (which Chrysalis attempts on Thorax) is ''also'' the standard execution method the Queens use in that story.
