History WebAnimation / DusksDawn

* DisappearedDad: The De Noir family's only son has one. It turns out he's an evil sorcerer.

* BigBad: The EvilTwin, right down to laughing evilly about evil things, having a VillainSong and proclaiming that "[he's] having so much fun".

* ContinuitySnarl: Considering that he Mane Six doing battle with Discord is shown on a door containing the Elements of Harmony, we have to assume that this takes place some time after the start of Season Two. However, the same scene shows Nightmare Moon still in the Moon, even though she is not imprisoned there, at this time?

* AnticlimaxBoss: They seem to treat Dark Dusk's Scepter as some kind of Power Weapon, but Breeze Rider just comes in, with a Towel, and grabs it in that, with no issue. Even Dusk is puzzle at what just happen!?

** He even quotes her; "Thirty Seconds Flt" line too?

''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgJPHj7Cjss My Little Pony: Dusk's Dawn]]'' is an "orginal" fanfiction based on ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', made by Project Interlude. The story is composed entirely of [[OriginalCharacter original characters]], other than passing references to Princess Celestia, Nightmare Moon, Discord and the [[FanNickname Mane Six]].

* WrapAroundBackground: A rather egregious example occurs towards the end when Donut is walking down the longest and least interesting hallway in Equestria for over an entire minute. He even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it, not that it makes it any more bearable.

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: See DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud below.

* DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud: Mister Brave ''ducks under a tornado.''

* FiveManBand
** TheLeader: Donut leads the group throughout the castle and calls himself a "royal guard."
** TheLancer: Star Whistle, as she's a major plot point in the first half and is the last pony standing when fighting the EvilTwin.
** TheBigGuy: Mister Brave. He can ram though ''tornadoes''.
** TheSmartGuy: Iridescence, sort of. It's inferred that she's an expert in the medical field by her Cutie Mark, and she senses something bad is happening in the De Noir's castle.
** TheChick: Doodlecute seems to be the most emotional and fragile of the group.
** SixthRanger: Breeze Rider is generally comic relief throughout the episode.

* SuspiciouslyAproposMusic: Sure, that one song provides pretty much all of the {{Exposition}} there is in the entire episode, but it lasts a whopping 3 minutes and 50 seconds and is completely forgettable, with the exception of the part where the villain sings in gibberish. Basically, it's mostly there to just kill time.

* CliffHanger: We never see [[spoilerwhat happened to the antagonist, or when the protagonists went to Celestia. It was intended to be a SequelHook, but a new production hasn't been made in years, so it's either been abandoned or stuck in DevelopmentHell.]]

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Mister Brave ''ducks under a tornado.''

* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: An incredibly rare example when the guard in question; Donut is a main character! He doesn't notice anything about the BigBad who's "obviously cured" and as he's walking down a corridor [[InnerMonologue monologing]] about how bored he is, a highly suspicious dark shadow flies by. Rather than do his job and check it out, he just brushes off a potential intruder as "a cat or something" (despite seeing it fly) and continues walking forward. See IdiotBall Below.
