1[[WMG:Quibble Pants will turn out to be the FanHater mentioned in the synopsis]]
2He has the MeaningfulName, and his knowledge of the books is a perfect setup for a BaitAndSwitch. He will reveal himself as an Obsessed Hater immediately after the clip in the preview.
3* Check, although it turns out he is stubbornly convinced that the ''JustForFun/DaringDo'' books underwent SeasonalRot after the third one.
4[[WMG: The episode will end with the hater liking Daring Do]]
5Probably just to have a TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong trope which is popular in idealistic cartoons.
6
7Alternatively, the hater will turn out to be a fan playing TheGadfly.
8* Check, Quibble Pants accepts that the action-oriented Daring Do is a perfectly valid mare to idolize instead of the intelligent Daring Do.
9** Although he still doesn't ''like'' the newer books. He just accepts that they're valid.
10[[WMG: Daring Do herself will be the FanHater]]
11She hates what she feels her fictional counterpart has become in the hooves of others - a commercialized icon used by vendors to sell all kinds of merchandise (like the 'edu-vacation' seen in the preview), or used shamelessly by 'worshipers' like Rainbow Dash and Quibble Pants in badly written/wildly inaccurate fanfiction.
12* Nope. See above.
13[[WMG: Rainbow [[SecretKeeper won't be able to talk about]] her own involvement in ''Daring Do and the Ring of Destiny'']]
14Either [[PenName A.K. Yearling]] or her publisher will be at the convention and will make sure that Rainbow doesn't tell anypony [[RealAfterAll the truth]] [[ThisIsAWorkOfFiction behind the books]].
15* Check, although it's basically self-enforced.
16[[WMG: Caballeron and/or Ahuizotl will crash the convention]]
17Daring Do (if present; if not, then Rainbow Dash) will be forced to reveal that yes, everything in the books has been RealAfterAll.
18* Wrong, Caballeron only abducts Rainbow Dash and Quibble Pants.
19[[WMG: Quibble Pants' and/or Rainbow Dash's detailed knowledge of the Daring Do books will be critically useful later in the episode]]
20The exchange between Rainbow Dash and Quibble Pants in the preview would seem to suggest that this sort of plot element might come into play.
21** In a sense. Quibble's extensive familiarity with the type of puzzles Daring Do used to regularly deal with in her earlier adventures becomes very useful for solving the puzzle with the seven doors.
22[[WMG: A bit of a post-episode WMG: The seven-sided chest will play an important role later this season. After all, the puzzle needed to solve it depicted seven doors with seven ponies; said ponies match our mane 7 race make up. Is this a coincidence or foreshadowing?]]
23Given the chest's connection to the Myth/AztecMythology CreationMyth, it probably isn't coincidence.
