Darker and Edgier: The comic takes place in future Equestria which turns out not to be a nice place to live in, and features explicit onscreen violence, bloodshed and character deaths.

comment
The Worf Effect: Spike is now a Future Badass that can summon weapons to his hand with ease and take on a large dragon form that can decimate battalions of Iron Wolves to molten slag. Then Empress Twilight (actually Queen Brotonia in disguise), waltzes in to confront Spike and the next we see of the two is him being defeated offscreen.

comment
Punch-Clock Villain: Most of fake Twilight's guards and minions (safe for those who were already replaced by Zygons) come off as cruel and ruthless, but they are not actually evil and just follow their ruler out of loyalty and genuine belief that everything they are doing, they are doing for the greater good, i.e. ridding Equestria of Crimson Changeling threat. At times, even they are disturbed by her actions.

Adaptational Villainy: This appears to be the case with future Twilight Sparkle, who — now the Empress of all Equestria — rules it with iron hoof, enacting terror on its citizens and arbitrarily ordering them imprisoned or executed, all under pretense of fighting Crimson Changelings that may be still at large and hiding among ponies. Later subverted when it turns out that "Twilight" is actually Zygon leader Queen Brotonia in disguise, and our heroes don't meet the real Twilight Sparkle until the climax.

Crapsack World: Future Equestria was effectively turned into this under fake Twilight Sparkle's rule. Under the pretense of fighting against Crimson Changelings, many innocent ponies were mercilessly executed, and those who survive live in constant fear of their own lives.

Mythology Gag: When fake Twilight Sparkle orders her guards to take Doctor and Roseluck back to prison, Fluttershy jumps in front of them, raises her hoof and yells "WAIT!" just like she did in Elements of Harmony when she stopped her friends from attacking a manticore. When Doctor finds out that many ponies have been already replaced by Zygon doubles and wonders how many of them may be actually impostors, what follows is a small Imagine Spot which involves two ponies that bear striking resemblance to Littlepip and Blackjack talking cheerfully, with whom appears to be Homage standing in the background.

Ax-Crazy: Queen Brotonia. She hides it most of the time while posing as Twilight Sparkle, but when the jig is up, she acts like a total maniac, unleashing stolen alicorn magic with sadistic glee and zero concern for collateral damage. Heck, even her impression of Twilight comes off as downright psychotic at times. She mocks Fluttershy's appeal to compassion as "disgusting", she smirks when announcing her intent to kill Gold Lily and all in all, she treats hurting and killing others like some sort of sick amusement.

Cooldown Hug: Near the epilogue, when Mane Five finally reunite with the real future Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie acts in her usual, cheerful manner initially, but after a few moments, she suddenly leaps onto the bed and locks Twilight in a hug, crying. Although surprised at first, Twilight soon returns the hug, comforting her friend.

comment
Kick the Dog: Fake Twilight Sparkle, being a cruel tyrant, has a lot of those, but one example which arguably stands out the most is that she has one of her guards brutally and violently killed by an Iron Wolf — just because he accidentally let go of Fluttershy when she attacked Twilight in sudden fit of rage and struck her in face. She even twists the knife further by rubbing it in Fluttershy's face (now covered in hapless guard's blood) that it's supposedly her fault.

comment
Batman Gambit: Implied. After Spike makes his Rousing Speech inciting ponies to open rebellion upon discovering that Crimson Changeling impersonating Night Star was working for Twilight, the scene shifts to Twilight herself (or rather, Queen Brotonia posing as her) sipping white wine in her chambers and smiling ominously, indicating that she wanted this to happen and provoked Spike's reaction so that she can draw the resistance out and wipe them out in open battle. What she didn't expect, however, is that heroes will use the battle as a distraction, infiltrate her castle — now that it's almost empty — and free the real Twilight Sparkle.

Gold Lily delivers a harsh chewing out to Pinkie Pie when she understandably questions the idea of killing Twilight and claims there must be some good left in her. Gold Lily retorts that they've all been fruitlessly waiting for Twilight to snap out of it for last seven years and proceeds to count how many innocent ponies were killed in that time. Needless to say, it drives Pinkie to tears.

Bittersweet Ending: Queen Brotonia is dead and the threat of the Crimson Changelings a.k.a. Zygons are gone from Equestria for good. On the flip side, Twilight Sparkle died defeating Queen Brotonia in their rematch and could only hold herself together for one last goodbye with the Mane Five, effectively fulfilling The Prophecy. The reigns of Equestria are handed down to Gold Lily and Sterling while Equestria rebuilds from the devastation wrought in the conflict. As for the cast from the present, they return to their time with their memories of the future wiped due to possessing knowledge of future events while celebrating Twilight's birthday as originally planned, with the Doctor and Roseluck being exceptions to the memory wipe.

Surrounded by Idiots: When her actions are questioned by Rarity, Empress Twilight tries to justify them as a necessary evil and something that must be done in order to deal with Crimson Changelings, claiming that her subjects are just "pathetic idiots" who cannot understand that. Which is just another clue that this is not the real Twilight Sparkle.

The Stinger: After the comic's epilogue proper, you get a bonus page where future Twilight Sparkle wakes up in the afterlife and meets the spirits of Mane Five awaiting her there. Seeing her friends for the first time in centuries, Twilight bursts into tears and frantically runs towards them. As she's running, her physical form is gradually reverting from her current, full-fledged alicorn form to her original unicorn form. Once she finally reaches the others and engages in a heartfelt Group Hug, she looks just like she did at the beginning of the series. She then wipes off the Tears of Joy and follows her friends going... somewhere, as the scene fades to black.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: When seeing a Crimson Changeling for the first time, Pinkie Pie says that she would've came up a better name for them, like "Zygon". The Prophecy itself ("Twilight will not outlive her friends"), which is actually a quote from show's writer Meghan McCarthy, who wrote those exact words on Twitter in response to fandom's concerns that now that Twilight has became an alicorn (which are either immortal or just very, very long-lived), she will have to watch her friends grow old and die.

Break the Cutie: Pinkie Pie's reaction to learning what her friend had apparently become. The death of her actual friend in question right in her arms just made it worse. Fluttershy is traumatized when a guard standing right behind her is brutally killed by Iron Wolf on fake Twilight's order as "punishment" for letting go of her. The fact that she gets covered in his blood certainly doesn't help.

Faux Affably Evil: Empress Twilight Sparkle (that is, Queen Brotonia) tries to be this. In general, she is composed and well-mannered most of the time, but her Dissonant Serenity when she has her subjects executed or tortured without a shred of remorse is a dead giveaway of how evil she really is. Also, she is outwardly nice to Rarity and Fluttershy when they are brought before her — ordering their release, offering them some R&R in her personal spa and inviting them to luxurious dinner — but her aloof and cold demeanor instantly tells that something is wrong with her. She drops the act entirely when it is revealed that she drugged the dishes served to her guests with sleeping pills.

Taking the Bullet: During final battle, Queen Brotonia fires an energy blast at Twilight's castle, powerful enough to destroy it along with entire surrounding city. So Twilight just flies in its path and takes its entire force on herself. It ends up nearly killing her.

When Doctor finds out that many ponies have been already replaced by Zygon doubles and wonders how many of them may be actually impostors, what follows is a small Imagine Spot which involves two ponies that bear striking resemblance to Littlepip and Blackjack talking cheerfully, with whom appears to be Homage standing in the background.

Red Eyes, Take Warning: Played for Laughs when we first meet future Twilight Sparkle in person (an impostor, actually). When Rarity gets angry after being told that the last time Twilight saw her, she was "an ugly old mule", her pupils briefly turn red. When fake Twilight Sparkle gives Fluttershy an angry look after getting smacked in face by her, her eyes briefly flash red. Later, when her real identity as Queen Brotonia is revealed and she reverts back to her true form, her irises turn completely red and gain Hellish Pupils to boot.

Armor-Piercing Response: Doctor insists that one thousand years is enough to turn even a good, righteous person such as Twilight Sparkle into cruel tyrant, daring Roseluck to name one thing which never changes in time. The latter retorts "Your name! You told me the meaning behind your name! Has the promise within the name 'Doctor' changed with the centuries?". This makes Doctor reconsider his view and assume that the one who they thought is future Twilight Sparkle might be an impostor after all.

Prophecy Twist: How the prophecy "Twilight Sparkle will not outlive her friends" ended up being fulfilled: While she has Complete Immortality due to being an Alicorn, this doesn't mean that she can't be killed. After her Heroic Sacrifice, she manages to hold herself together long enough to say goodbye and deliver apologies to her friends and family. The line meant that she would die as the Princess of Friendship surrounded by her friends who came from the past.

Modern Stasis: Although action of the comic takes place one thousand years in the future, it doesn't seem that Equestrian civilization has advanced in that time at all. Which is odd, given the fact that in the show itself, it is clearly indicated via multiple flashbacks that in previous one thousand years (since Luna's banishment), pony society visibly developed from primitive, medieval age level to much more modern one, roughly of XIX-XX century era.

What the Hell, Hero?: Empress Twilight Sparkle is frequently called out on her actions by multiple characters, including Rarity (when Twilight refuses to let her and other Mane Five go back to their time and creeps Fluttershy out while insisting that they stay with her), Fluttershy (when Twilight has her friends imprisoned and openly mocks the idea of friendship) and Spike (when Twilight demands to pass Gold Lily over to her so she can kill her). It all falls on deaf ears, because that is not the real Twilight Sparkle. Gold Lily delivers a harsh chewing out to Pinkie Pie when she understandably questions the idea of killing Twilight and claims there must be some good left in her. Gold Lily retorts that they've all been fruitlessly waiting for Twilight to snap out of it for last seven years and proceeds to count how many innocent ponies were killed in that time. Needless to say, it drives Pinkie to tears.

Pinball Protagonist: The Mane Five (sans Twilight). Although they are essential to the plot, they do surprisingly little in this comic — nearly to the point of being Demoted to Extra — and their role is reduced to somewhat of a Living MacGuffin as a part of The Prophecy. The focus of the story is mainly on Doctor and Roseluck (and, to lesser extent, on Spike and Gold Lily). Meanwhile, Mane Five spend most of their time bouncing around them.
