* Why does Applejack's [[Living Lie Detector]] power make {{spoiler|the denizens of Sunny Town have a [[My God, What Have I Done?]] reaction in addition to making them see through Gaia's spell when Mitta was the only one in the game itself to realize they'd gotten the fate they deserved? Applejack is forcing them see through their own self-delusion that what they did was justified as well.}}
* {{spoiler|Fluttercruel got herself and Fluttershy drunk before they left for the Everfree Forest. This explains a bit better why Fluttershy succumbed to the darkness this time because drinking lowers inhibitions and makes one more easily depressed.}}
* {{spoiler|Fluttershy didn't JUST go Nightmare, she turned into a complete [[Eldritch Abomination]] as well. Why? It's revealed she'd obtained a powerful artifact that Luna created called the Elder Horn as well and Fluttershy states she was already a Nightmare when she found it (apparently having already liberated Sunnytown's population before even finding it). Nightmare Whisper was a combination of going Nightmare AND absorbing a powerful [[Artifact of Doom]] at the same time, it's only natural the result would be anything but pretty.}}
Line 14:
** {{spoiler|Additionally, on at least one occasion we see pertinent medical knowledge return to Nurse Redheart. This could be extrapolated, especially since they're still able to do things like set explosives safely...}}
** {{spoiler|It is implied in [[Loose Canon]] that the now-brainwashed mane cast are remotely commanding Princess Gaia's armies, thinking it to be a fun board game. If this is true, it is quite possible that Trixie and Twilight Sparkle are unwittingly providing a front for Princess Gaia to recruit ''their own mothers'' as her knights.}}
** {{spoiler|The fate of the unborn foals of Equestria when Princess Gaia turns ''everypony'' into foals, ''including pregnant mares''. Specifically referenced by Princess Celestia later on when giving 'Shy a [[Blatant Lies|little]] [[Mind Rape|talking]] [[What the Hell, Hero?|to]]. Thankfully, it turned out nothing bad had happened to them, Celestia outright said that she would've done [[And I Must Scream|something quite nasty to Fluttershy]] in a fit of rage if it had.}}
*** Given the timing of the above, {{spoiler|Mrs. Cake}} was probably among those at risk of {{spoiler|losing her foals}}.
** {{spoiler|Fluttershy-turned-Nightmare Whisper is a [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]] who just wants to remove everypony's pain and suffering by absorbing it into herself, and she becomes powerful enough to easily take over much of Equestria in short order. However, since she was Fluttershy, she still has a twisted sense of kindness towards her "subjects" and has no real desire to harm the mane cast (except [[Too Powerful to Live|Applejack]]). Now think of the opponent the mane cast would have had to face if they hadn't talked down ''[[Action Girl|Rainbow]] [[Lightning Bruiser|Dash]].''}}
*** {{spoiler|To be fair, it's implied a great deal of Nightmare Whisper's power came from the Elder Horn. She still went Nightmare all on her own, but she was also being powered up by an outside source. Not to say the same couldn't have happened to Rainbow Dash and there's no doubt Nightmare!Rainbow Dash would've likely been far more dangerous regardless simply due to her personality and natural abilities.}}
*** On another note, {{spoiler|the one thing all the ponies who went Nightmare had in common is they were wielders of the Elements Of Harmony. All it'd take for any of the mane cast to turn into a Nightmare is for them to break ''just'' right. Of course this is ''really'' unlikely, but still a scary thought.}}
Line 24:
*** Nightmare Granfalloon's line (quoted below) indicates that Pinkie Pie's "Pinkie" personality was strong enough to destroy all of her other personalities ''by herself!'' Angry Pie seemed to have no idea what she almost unleashed, and is ''really'' lucky that Pinkie listened to Pinkamena and decided to accept/absorb the rest of her personalities instead of doing away with them.
{{quote| '''Nightmare Granfalloon''': Anger is dead-dead-dead! Pinkamena is dead-dead-dead! Bad foalhood memories are dead-dead-dead! Now there's only happy thoughts!}}
*** What's ''even worse''? Luna says [[Super -Powered Evil Side|Nightmares]] are created when one part of them consumes every other part and [[Word of God]] confirms that the Nightmare can be different depending on what part of them that is. If [[The Bad Guy Wins|Angry Pie had won]], she'd have done just that. If the fun loving, [[Fun Personified]] "Pinkie" personality destroying the others created ''this'' [[Monster Clown|Granfalloon]], just imagine what would've happened if the [[Ax Crazy]], murderous, [[Sociopath|Sociopathic]] Angry Pie had been the part that had consumed Pinkie Pie and gone Nightmare!
* The [[Bad Future]] is full of this. The sweet old white mare with the musical cutie mark who took care of Rarigreed? {{spoiler|It was Sweetie Belle}}. And the two potted plants that Twilight has an unnatural obsession with keeping safe? {{spoiler|They were ''her parents''}}.
* {{spoiler|The last we hear of Pandemonium is her alone, with a psychotic and newly near omnipotent Discord who just showed how little his family means to him.}}
