I feel like they originally had a script where the evil empire of this film was supposed to be Pony based, instead of these anthro-storm creatures. That would have been rather interesting. Imagine a nation of Ponies that is on par with Equestria invading Equestria.
Another thing. It’s ALWAYS Canterlot whenever Equestria does get invaded. The fact that any invading force could just simply waltz into the capital in the heart of their nation(at least TWICE) by surprise speaks volumes about the deficiency of Equestria’s defense and intel capacity. If they even exist. And you’re to tell me Equestria is supposed to be the Pony’s equivilent of the US or A?

And later on in the film, Tempest and Grubber prepared the Storm King’s ship while the Storm King enters the throne room offscreen and continues conquering and ruling Equestria, and even flying over Equestria in one of his ariships seeing all of Equestria being enslaved, punished, arrested, captured, siezed, and menaced by his troops while his second-in-commander/lieutenant and henchman goes south beyond either Equestria or the Badlands to hunt down Twilight by either caging her or petrifying her into a statue like the other three princesses and takes her back to the Storm King.

Id like to think iron, In old myths iron was a antithesis to magic. My head cannon is that while gold and gems and such common in Equestria iron is a rare element.
 
huh i never knew that…why iron though?

Why are people again surprised?  
Without counting Twilight, the Mane6 are basically normal ponies (RD slightly less) without the elements or rainbow power.  
If the enemy is something bigger than a pony, and has a way to counter Twilight’s magic, then its only natural they’d be screwed until the came up with a plan.
 
People just seem to enjoy thinking they’re warriors or something, even when its been shown once and again its not the case.  
And its better that way because it makes things much more interesting than just making them another boring set of PPGs.

They’re pretty much above average ponies. They don’t any have special powers without the Elements.
And they were in the middle of an event with their guard down.
Those bad guys look prepared to take over a galaxy.
 
so caught with your elemental pants down?

Pinkie should have had grenades in her mane, in case of anti-magic emergencies.

Truthfully, I think Rainbow saves Twilight a split-second before the Obsidian Orb with her name on it hits her, leaving Derpy to end up taking the hit instead since she was the next creature the Orb detonated against.

Apparently, Grubber actually mistakes Derpy for Twilight (she was wearing a purple part hat and he thought it was a horn), and turned her to stone, thinking she was Twilight. That’s probably what resulted in him getting his ass fried.

Well, this pretty much shows what actually happened compared to the trailers: Twilight and co. are surrounded by Storm King’s infantry, Twilight tries to blast her way out, the first Storm King grunt she attacks simply uses his shield to turn her attack back on her and take out the bridge, which allows them to escape capture.
 
That probably leads to that scene later with Tempest and Grubber when he confesses to them getting away and gets zapped for his trouble when he tries to butter Tempest up with spongecake.
