\\\"A scene is headed in one direction, then the line is uttered. Afterwards, the scene is going somewhere very, very different.\\\"

The scene isn\\\'t really going somewhere different, the line is just profoundly shocking. I guess you could argue that it\\\'s going somewhere different — we all thought this was just an innocent entry, and we all thought that [[spoiler:Pilot had no connection to the apocalypse]]. Now that we know he does, we can expect to learn more about it, and for it to have ramifications. WhamLine? It meets the other requirements.

Also, does it count as a Reveal? The article says:

\\\"A character is revealed as another character\\\'s mother, a god, or secret suitor or arch nemesis in disguise. More broadly, the audience is given new information which had been withheld to create suspense. The Reveal changes the nature of the plot, often pushing it from suspense towards action. A good reveal will also create a new set of questions and further suspense.\\\"

All this is true of this new information, except for the \\\"suspense\\\" aspects. So I\\\'m not sure if it still counts.

Finally, should I add PsychopathicManchild to the main page, because of Pilot? The page specifies that this trope refers to a villain, but aside from that, Pilot completely qualifies. I\\\'m only hesitant to add it because Pilot isn\\\'t a villain. Someone advise?

Pumpkin not only levitated a large number of large toys, and herself, and turned a barrier intangible; she may also have teleported into the closet to get the rubber chicken since to all appearances, the door was closed as Pinkie had left it. Keep in mind the expressions of effort, exertion, and concentration we have seen on Rarity and Twilight when they use some of their unicorn magic. Pumpkin did it pretty much reflexively.

Scootaloo can\'t fly yet, but Pound Cake has super strength, so he is probably able to fly sooner than almost all other pegasus babies. Either her wing muscles aren\'t strong enough or maybe are mutated or defective. But she can\'t fly, and she compensates by using her wings to give her added speed on the scooter.
