This was also the first episode where we saw celestias true power and her status as a royal

Seraphem

And the true start of Season 2, from both a production standpoint and a changes to the status quo standpoint. Also, come on now you aren't even trying, Best Pony was front and center fighting with Mayor Mare! From the production standpoint, just an overall general increase in quality and fluidity of the animation, especially when it comes to facial expression, we now get into the realm of some of the best damn meme faces ever, many just from Twilight this ep. Also, a change to how magic works, previously all unicorns except Twilight just had a generic pale white glow around their horns when using magic, now every unicorn has their own magic color, often the color of the eyes, but sometimes a primary color of their Cutie Mark instead. Status quo wise, no longer must Twilight write a letter every episode recapping the moral. This was done both to give the writers more freedom, since it means they don't need to find a way to include Twilight in every episode to facilitate the letter writing, but also to kind of enjoy the fact the show was no longer being marketed as Educational/Informational, and thus they had greater freedom in what they were allowed to do, including not being required by regulations to include a specific moral in every episode. Then we get to the story itself and..... yeah Twilight went nuts. Seems she was more right then she thought back in the pilot,everypony in this town really is crazy! But, it kind of makes sense, we know she is very OCDabout things, and that is on full display, and that she has a massively overblown anxiety issue when it comes to Celestia, always being afraid of any slight that might offend her or make her think less of Twilight, even though it's clear that Tia is nowhere near that much of a hardass (Especially given how much of that rear is filled with cake by this point). But, combine that with the fact that Twilight has never failed an assignment, never been late, never done anything wrong like that for so long that... it becomes something far, far larger then it needs to be in her mind becuase she has no idea how to handle it, which is something that happens to people IRL who are naturally gifted at things and so never develop the skills needed to cope with failure. It really is a great, if over the top in the most comedicly awesome way possible, look at a very real mindset. Also, Fluttershy Mortal Kombat Fatalitied a bear! Who, think back to the Pinkie goes nuts ep.... yeah turns out Fluttershy wasn't lying, she really does know a bear named Harry. Also RD can Sonic Rainnuke a building.....which is epicly hilarious given this game out long after Fallout: Equestria introduced the idea of rainbow nukes to Equestria.
