* [[Brutal Honesty]]: He absolutely crushes Rarity during her first fashion show.

* [[Caustic Critic]]: He's appalled by the second batch of dresses Rarity made and makes no secret of it, though Rarity ''herself'' considered them the ugliest dresses she'd ever made and was deeply embarrassed with having to show them to him. He's considerably more positive when convinced to give her original designs a chance however, exuberantly praising Rarity afterwards and placing a rush order for a dozen of each.

* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Her pageboy haircut and sunglasses make her a caricature of Anna Wintour, the famously bitchy and eccentric editor-in-chief of ''Vogue''. Fans calling her "Pony Gaga" can be chalked up to [[Small Reference Pools]].

* [[Not So Different]]: Photo Finish is in many ways a [[Character Exaggeration]] of Rarity; she has an even more overt foreign accent, is about 20% hammier and can be just as pushy and absorbed in her work as Rarity. She's even quite taken with Fluttershy, Rarity's closest friend.

* [[Non Standard Character Design]]: She's taller and leggier than most other mares and possibly even taller than Luna but not as much as Celestia. Her lack of a cutie mark has also inspired some [[Wild Mass Guessing]] though according to [[Word of God]], it was an animation oversight.

* [[Hidden Depths]]: At first glance, he looks like an abusive jerk trying to scam people with a fake self-help seminar. Turns out he's surprisingly well-behaved, emphatic and a bull of honor, plus his seminar ''truly'' worked, the only problem is that it worked ''too'' well. Even when he's struggling with Rarity and Pinkie Pie, he only used a fraction of his strength and he politely knocks at Fluttershy's door instead of smashing it as the audience is lead to believe he's going to do.

* [[Insistent Terminology]]: He's not a monster. He's a Minotaur. Notably, he isn't the one to insist on the terminology--of the three times it comes up, Fluttershy corrects the others when he isn't around, and when Rarity does say it to his face she corrects herself.

* [[Mix-and-Match Critters]]: [[Classical Mythology|Traditionally]], the [[wikipedia:Minotaur|Minotaur]] (literally, "''the bull of [King] [[Ancient Greece|Minos]]''") is a creature (unique, not a species, much like the original Pegasus) with the head of a bull and the body of a man, or at least somehow part man and part bull. Iron Will fits the first description down to the waist, below which he has hooves and a bull's tail, not uncommon in modern renditions of minotaurs. With a bipedal posture and one-third human body, or at the very least human hands and arms if that's interpreted as an upright bull's torso, he's the closest thing to a human the series has seen so far.

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: This was an unfortunate trait of the three races before they were united under Equestria's founding: The Earth Ponies resented the Pegasi and Unicorns for messing with the weather and their demands for food. The Pegasi were angry at the Earth Ponies for not being able to grow food and the Unicorns were viewed as too haughty by the other two. Especially evident in the leaders.
