* Nightmare Moon is trying to bring about [[The Night That Never Ends]], just like Tirac. However, while Tirac only seemed to be doing it [[For the Evulz]], Nightmare Moon's backstory establishes her as [[The Resenter]].
** Also, according to [[Word of God]], a hint of [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] as well.
Line 91 ⟶ 90:
=== Season 1 ===
* Twilight's last name was changed from "Twinkle" to [[Twilight (novel)|"Sparkle"]]. When [[Lauren Faust]] was [http://comments.deviantart.com/4/1603670/2216411631 asked] if the name was an intentional joke, her [http://comments.deviantart.com/4/1603670/2216416237 response] was "It passed legal."
* The Cutie Mark Crusaders are suspiciously similar to the "Pre-Teen Sensations" from ''[[Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret.]]'', even to the point that they are waiting for a physical transformation and are trying all kinds of irrational stuff to make it happen. The entire scene where they are deciding on a name is almost exactly how it happens in the book.
* The first outfit seen in the [[Costume Test Montage]] in episode 1 is very clearly the pony version of the Statue of Liberty. In a later episode, we see the statue proper in Manehattan.
* Pinkie Pie tries to guess who Nightmare Moon is. Her first guess is [[Rocky and Bullwinkle|"Hokey Smokes"]]. (She also guesses [[Black Beauty|"Black Snooty"]].)
Line 365 ⟶ 364:
* In the season 2 finale, Spike is shown playing with wedding cake figures of Princess Cadance and Shining Armor. Guess which two ponies are going to be in an upcoming play set together?
