| 1 | * Marine Sandwich may be a villain but her ordeal is tragic. A case of MistakenIdentity costs her her chance of participating in the contest, her attempts to explain the situation lead to her being MistakenForAnImpostor and GettingTheBoot twice. By the end of the issue, she crosses the DespairEventHorizon and ends up being HoistByHerOwnPetard in a fight with Pinkie and Applejack. Even though she was a villain, Marine Sandwich was more of a ChewToy as nothing good happened to her in the story even before she turned insane. This happened because of PoorCommunicationKills kicking in. Had somepony listened to her, the rampage could have been avoided. Even worse is that Applejack acted like the rest of the ApatheticCitizens in the story, not even bothering to talk with Marine Sandwich in their previous encounters, or even commenting about her being kicked out in spite of her watching the security ponies commit the deed. By the end of the story, nopony knows Marine Sandwich, only seeing her as a crazy mare that froze everypony with icing. Even if somepony finds out who she was, her career may be as good as over thanks to her psychotic episode. |
| 2 | * Issue 9, involving Granny Apple trying to reconcile the Flim-Flam brothers, who have parted ways over a mare they both had a crush on. Both brothers are miserable wrecks without the other, Flim in particular. At one point, Granny sees him wandering away from the convention and follows, sure he's up to something. She finds him just sitting under a tree, looking forlorn and lonely. It's enough to make Granny feel sorry for him and offer some comfort and advice. |
| 3 | * Issue #14 has the dragons of Dragontown Fillydelphia being unfairly blamed for setting fires. Then there is when Luna becomes frusterated with the case and unfairly takes it out on Spike. Saying she's disappointed in him and he let her down when she had faith in him. The poor dragon didn't do anything wrong. She does later apologize to him though. This could be upsetting for anyone who has had someone take something out on them even if they did nothing wrong and did nothing to deserve it. |
| 4 | * The end of Issue #20 with Luna and Discord. Discord's worst nightmare is a perfectly happy day with Fluttershy and the Cutie Mark Crusaders. He reminds Luna about what happened with Tirek, and thinks that since he's a being of chaos, it's in his nature to eventually betray ponies that he cares about and hurt them when he does. Then at the very end of the comic, Luna writes a letter to Celestia that she realizes she grapples with the same issues as Discord, and wonders if she spends so much of her time alone for the same reason. |
