* [[Aluminum Christmas Trees]]: See [[Genius Bonus]] below.
* [[Broken Base]]: Either it's a fun romp with a great meta moral for the [[Periphery Demographic]], or a waste of time that spends way too much time on a dull [[Stock Parody]].
* [[Fanfic Fuel]]: Unsurprisingly, Daring-Do fics began popping up within hours of the episode's airing.
** We here on [[This Wiki]] are [[
* [[Fandom Nod]]: Unconfirmed, but Dash's ninja suit is effectively a hoodie (the drawstrings are shown several times), which itself is an art fad among MLPFIM artists.
** Two of the episodes main Aesops could be seen as nods to the fandom, "Don't knock it till you've tried it" and "Don't be ashamed of what you like"
* [[Fridge Horror]]: One of the things on Rainbow Dash's plate at the hospital is a cube of jello. Um, gelatin is made from... [[I'm a Humanitarian|what]]... again?
** Hypromellose.
* [[Genius Bonus]]: Ahuizotl isn't just some random name the creators pulled out of their [[Unusual Euphemism|plots]]; it's [[
** Rainbow Dash's confusion over the character might not just be his sudden appearance, but a lampshade hanging of this fact.

** Or "[[Spin-Off|Rainbow Dash Presents]]" from ''[[My Little Pony the Mentally Advanced Series]]''.

** Many fans compare the premise of this episode to [[Audience Surrogate|when they first became bronies]].
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: When Ahuizotl is first introduced, the fact that his eyes are close to his snout is pretty disturbing. [[Vocal Dissonance|And then it spoke like Pinkie Pie]]. [[Subverted Trope|Although the latter was because Pinkie Pie was calling out for Rainbow Dash]].
Line 24:
* [[Paranoia Fuel]]: ...ceiling crocodiles?! '''No one is safe!!!'''
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]: An episode about Dashie breaking her wing? That's an amazing idea! Think of the drama she would go through, wondering when she would fly again, being forced to live the life of an Earth pony until it heals...or it could be about her getting addicted to reading. Uh, sure, that might work too, I guess.
** If they wanted to do a [["Reading Is Cool" Aesop]], why didn't they make the book a parody of an actual book instead of a movie?
*** Actually, it's pretty clear that while the character is inspired by Indiana Jones, the series itself with its numerous books, broad appeal across ages, and serious content is meant to be a reference to ''[[Harry Potter]]''.
** Some fans do like the episode as is.
