[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
----
* [[Accidental Innuendo]]: It might have been overlooked if there weren't previous similar cases ("[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
* [[Aesop Amnesia]]: Arguably at first before the pageant with Rainbow Dash and the lesson of "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
** Applejacks's "This isn't the Rainbow Dash show!" is a possible [[Lampshade Hanging]]
** Not to mention the mane six forgetting the moral of the play that ''they just performed''. Good thing it did not last long.
Line 13:
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Some fans interpret that the play isn't 100% percent accurate to the history it's depicting. Either because the play was operating under [[Hollywood History]] in universe or the ponies were [[Throw It In|ad-libbing]].
** Breaking it all down, [[Original Flavor|there is the play as is]], [[Pragmatic Adaptation|what was not possible to depict in the play,]] [[The Theme Park Version|the contemporary outlook on what happened]], [[Bowdlerise|what might have been taken out for the foals,]] [[Literary Agent Hypothesis|what actually happened at the event,]] and whatever filter [[Word of God|the show writers had on the events.]] Plenty of ways to cut this one up.
*** Another theory is that the characters were the [[Homestuck
*** It might have been made as a [[Lighter and Softer]] version of the real events as well, so they wouldn't have to show people starving and dying.
** Were the Wendigos evil spirits intentionally causing the ponies suffering and grief or non-sentient beasts who were merely feeding and their natural way of survival made them a dangerous threat?
*** A couple of fans have interpreted the Wendigos as ''good'' spirits who were punishing the ponies for fostering such hatred.
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: Literally, given the heart-shape to the magical fire that saved the ponies.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] + [[Ear Worm]]: That song at the end was so sweet and heartwarming; how can one not hum along to it.
** Came off as a [[Shout
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: After seeing [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
▲* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: After seeing [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E22 Hurricane Fluttershy|Hurricane Fluttershy,]] one can't help but be amazed the poor pegasus managed to finish the play at all.
* [[He Really Can Act|She Really Can Tell A Story]]: See "Rescued From The Scrappy Heap" below.
* [[Large Ham]]: Spike slips into this a bit during his narration.
** All 3 pony tribe leaders are equally dramatic; just in different ways.
* [[Leaning
* [[Les Yay]]: Compared to the other groups, Platinum and Clover seem rather...close.
* [[Narm]]: A possibly intentional case of it (seeing as how the characters were acting in a play) but the cave scene was filled with this.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Even though they're portraying other characters, it's still disconcerting to watch as beloved members of the Mane Six freeze solid with their faces contorted with hatred.
** The roar of the Wendigos.
* [[Rescued
** Williams ''had'' written for several other shows before; just that "The Mysterious Mare Do Well" was (as best we know) her first outing with the ponies. While still a great turnaround, it's not as drastic when you consider that she's not an unknown in the industry...especially when you consider that the episodes of previous shows she had written for were fan favorites (You can thank her, Aaron Springer and C.H. Greenblat for amoung other things that "'''[[SpongeBob SquarePants
* [[Stealth Pun]]: Rainbow Dash got (at least) 20% cooler in 10 seconds flat. Just not the type of "cool" she'd likely want.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: Pinkie shows another one of those [http://s3.amazonaws.com/kym-assets/photos/images/original/000/218/871/pinkeh.png?1324185519 weird smiles] similar to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy's in "May the Best Pet Win!", but mileage varies, especially when one considers her 'about to be brilliant' face adorable.
** [[Eldritch Abomination|The Wendigos]] also inhabit the valley. Suddenly cutting from the show's usual style to relatively realistic horses with [[Blank White Eyes]] and ''no back legs'' is quite jarring.
* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: The fiery heart in the sky at the end of the episode could be seen as representing the [[The Bible
** The Equestrian flag the three tribes decide on at the end looks almost but not quite like Celestia and Luna but could as easily be a Yin-Yang representing the new balance and harmony between the races.
