The Storm King has attacked.
Canterlot has fallen.
The princesses have been captured.
There is no leadership.
There is no plan.
But there are Wonderbolts.
Wonderbolts do not give up.
Wonderbolts do not know the cost of war.
Perhaps it would have been better if Wonderbolts did give up.

How did the Storm King beat Discord?
How would the Mane Six react some ponies have just actually DIED for no good reason, and this wasn't a complete "sunshine and rainbows" happy ending like the previous villain showdowns?
Especially Rainbow Dash learns that those deceased ponies are part of the Wonderbolts? Her own team!
As someone who's had their own occasional arguments with cartoon "main character can save everything" being applied even when the situation doesn't feel like it really supports it, I thought this did a really interesting job of examining what would happen if not all of the secondary characters were genre savvy enough to realize it; I felt for Soarin and his conviction that revenge and making up for (what he saw as) his earlier cowardice was the only way. The ending also landed well, imo, and left me wanting to know more about the aftermath, since that's the sort of experience that's bound to leave scars. Nice job. :)
