* CommonKnowledge: It's widely stated that Spike's inability to recall much of the previous series or events leading up to this one is due to TheFogOfAges. But in the actual episode it's stated that it was just due to his only recently awakening from century-long sleep, with Hitch noting his memories are similar fuzzy right after waking up showing it was not supposed to be this trope.
* FanDislikedExplanation: Twilight Sparkle's messages reveals the HappyEndingOverride and changes between G4 and G5 were caused by [[BigBad Opaline]] attempting to steal all magic forcing Twilight [[GodzillaThreshold place it in the Unity Crystals to keep it from her]]. G4 fans saw this as underdeveloped at best for what was supposed to make G5 appeal to them, as Opaline came of as no more powerful and less intelligent than prior villains so seemingly should have been defeated without Twilight having to resort to such and [[SeriesContinuityError failed to address many of the inconsistencies in the setting]]. That the vagueness and contradictions meant it failed to clearly decanonize [[ComicBook/MyLittlePony2022 the comics]] more detailed but even more disliked explanation didn't help.

* GrowingTheBeard: Initially the series was seen as inferior to the comedy-focused ''[[WebAnimation/MyLittlePonyTellYourTale Tell Your Tale]]'' spinoff due to its attempts at more substantive stories being seen as underwhelming and main story plodding. Chapter 4 was the point it started delivering on the EmotionalTorque that had been built up; the heroes directly confronting the villain, Misty's HeelFaceTurn, and the plot stared advancing in high gear, that it became as good as it got and seen by many as the higher quality work.

** Spike was one of characters fans most expect to still be around given how LongLived dragons were portrayed as in ''Friendship Is Magic''. Sure enough he shows up in Chapter 6.

I've debated if this counts as GTB is a singular story/moment that does it. But as Chapter 4 was released as a singular batch...

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: The SeriesFinale revolving around stealing magic and cutie marks was seen as overly similar to the ''Friendship Is Magic'' Season 4 finale, the latter part its Season 5 premiere. That the [=FiM=] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017 movie]] and finale also used the magic theft plot to diminishing returns caused to be seen as an overdone cliche here.

*** Her saying she doesn't care about Misty in "Cutie Blossom Bash". Does she really mean it, or is she in denial? It is noticeable that she was about to check up on Misty before stopping herself short and delivering her "I don't care" line. Relating, in "Roots of All Evil" was her (uncharacteristically) sparing Misty besides stealing her cutie mark after learning she [[HeelFaceTurn turned against her]] and [[CallingTheOldWomanOut denouncing her]] mercy or just BondVillainStupidity?

** Spike was one of characters fans most expect to still be around given how LongLived dragons were portrayed as in "Friendship Is Magic". Sure enough he shows up in Chapter 6.
