1* CharacterPerceptionEvolution: [[BigBad The Storm King]] was [[BaseBreakingCharacter divisive]] here due to his first appearance outside promotional artwork being far more comical and affable than what fans expected, clashing with his otherwise intimidating design and demeanor. But these traits would carry over into ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017 The Movie]]'' where he would come off as a StupidEvil AntiClimaxBoss compared to the comics where his PragmaticVillainy; acting nice to his forces to keep them loyal, not wasting effort oppressing beyond what's needed to achieve his goals, destroying an ArtifactOfDoom that wasn't worth the drawbacks, made him stand out amongst the series villains and showed how he was such an effective warlord. Thus the comics take on him is now seen favorably for having the fun LoveToHate traits that made him as well-received as he was while also smart enough to be the legitimately threat [[InformedAbility he failed to come across in the movie proper]].
2* HarsherInHindsight: The Storm King's PragmaticVillainy streak and his EtTuBrute reaction to [[spoiler:Strife]]'s [[TheStarscream Starscream]] moment here. In ''The Movie'', [[spoiler:The Storm King turns out to be similar-- he seems to have forgotten all about said Pragmatic Villainy and ends up pulling a YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness of his own against Tempest just ForTheEvulz.]]
3* HesJustHiding:
4** Even though [[BigBad the Storm King]] threw him off his air ship while high in the air, many think [[spoiler: Strife]] survived and is still plotting against the Storm King.
5** [[spoiler: Chummer, Capper's friend]]. Though his ship crashed outside of [[WretchedHive Klugetown]], Tempest sees [[spoiler: cat-like]] footprints leading away from the ship, indicating that he survived the initial crash. Whether he survived the desert is another question, but many fans think it's likely.
