* InformedWrongness: Rockhoof putting out the fire in the school from the outside when it turns out that it was a dragon fire-breathing contest between Spike and Smoulder. He was supposed to be in the wrong for being an ignorant killjoy and damaging a lot of quilts that don't do well with water. The problem is that 1) the contest was held '''indoors''' instead of outside when the classroom in question was not proven to be fireproof and 2) without context, when viewed from the outside the fire generated could easily qualify for a fire hazard as it was the '''size of a whole classroom''' and any sane being would had done the same thing as Rockhoof did.

(It doesn't help that Chancellor Neighsay still has it out for the school and it's just giving him fuel to prove himself right.)

* IdiotPlot: The plot keeps moving because Rockhoof gives up at every new venture at the first setback, instead of trying harder or learning from his mistakes. The Mane Six in turn suggest jobs for him that are at odds with his personality and skillset and don't put much thought into their ideas. There are plenty of career opportunities in Equestria for someone with great physical strength and a passion for digging, several of which should have been very obvious, but no one suggests them. Additionally, the plot begins in the first place because Rockhoof isn't welcome at his old village, which is now an archeological dig site -- Professor Fossil just sees Rockhoof as a nuisance and doesn't seem to realize that the pony who actually ''lived'' in the ancient village she's excavating may have a lot of helpful information to contribute, chalking it up to the fact that they need the [[UnreliableNarrator full context for archeological digs.]]

** The episode abruptly and awkwardly introduces a Hippogriff Navy, rather than just reuse the band of sky pirates the Mane Six befriended in the film. One of them was even voiced by Nicole Oliver, so it's not like they couldn't get any of the actors back.

** Twilight herself has had [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E17StareMaster her own experience]] being TakenForGranite, but doesn't bring it up when Rockhoof expresses his desire to become a statue or when discussing her hesitancy to follow through on his request. The fact that she and numerous others have been revived from petrification is also never addressed, which could have mitigated some of the darker implications (see WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids) or added a different perspective to his request by allowing him to potentially be revived in a time that fits him better.
