** While Pharynx does transform in the end, his hide is given a much darker tone, making him look far less garish than the rest of the Changelings.

Tastes Like Diabetes is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.

* TastesLikeDiabetes: If the designs of the transformed Changelings didn't make fans cringe before, then their more peaceful activities (ranging from arts and crafts to talking about their feelings) probably will, to the point where some fans would probably side with Pharynx. Given the ending revealing that Pharynx ''did'' have a point about the hive going too soft, this may have been intentional.

* BrokenBase: Given the divisive nature of the transformed Changelings, this is inevitable; those who found the whole business hokey and {{narm}}y (or just don't like the new designs) aren't keen on being force-fed a second helping, while others are happy to have Thorax back and eager to see how this plays out. In addition, the fact that this is yet ''another'' Starlight-centric episode has annoyed fans who believe Spike should have this role since he was Thorax's first friend, while others counter that Starlight helped Thorax to transform and thus has a stake in the fate of the Changelings and belongs here.

Furthermore, while Pharynx himself is popular, some have taken the episode's resolution to condone bullying, as it was Pharynx's bullying tactics that saved the day and in doing so vindicated his behavior. On the other hand, many others were happy with the way they defeated the Maulwurf and didn't see it at all as vindicating bullying.

Cut trope. Not for complaining about the Aesop.

* FamilyUnfriendlyAesop: Pharynx's rude and violent behavior towards the rest of the hive, and to Thorax as a kid, was all to get them to toughen up and stop being so wimpy. Additionally, he helped Thorax drive away the maulwurf by playing the "stop hitting yourself" trick on it that he used on Thorax as a child.

* AccidentalAesop: Pharynx's transformation doesn't come out of a sweeping, formal decision to accept the new changeling way -- it just sort of happens when he declares his love for the hive and and his brother. If anything, he seems more surprised than anyone. Point being, there a myriad of different ways to show love.

** Pharynx secretly loves his brother even though he hides it under a gruff and abrasive exterior. So what did Pharynx and Thorax talk about before the latter had to go with Chrysalis to invade Canterlot? How long did it take for Pharynx to realize Thorax wasn't coming back to the hive? And how bad did Pharynx's anxiety get over Thorax being out there all alone by himself?
