Talk:Elements of Harmony/@comment-3096348-20130728130157

I think it'd be nice if this article mentioned (even if only in the Equestria Girls section) that the elements seem to do unique things in alternate worlds. When Twilight asks Sunset Shimmer why she swapped Twilight's crown with the one that "belon[ed]" in the mirror world, Sunset replies, "Pop quiz: What happens when you bring an Element of Harmony into an alternate world? You don't know??" So there's something special about the "alternate world" angle, presumably relating to the power Sunset gains from using it there rather than in Equestria.

We might also note that in the climax (spoilers), Sunset reveals that her ultimate plan was to return and rule Equestria (with the aid of her new human minions). So which is the part that's unique to using an Element of Harmony in an alternate world? The ability to transform yourself? Mind control? The ability for Sunset to even use it in the first place? We're also left to wonder how much of the powers we saw in the movie were a property of the element of Magic specifically (dunno what other elements would do in alternate worlds, but it's apparently something, because Sunset spoke of bringing "an Element of Harmony" into an alternate world, not just Magic).
