With that said, Nightmare try to turn Equestria’s citizens against Celestia, and tried to trick Celestia from undoing the seal the Elements of Harmony cast on it. With both plans enacted with the Nyx’s help. However, both plans backfired. And Nightmare decided to wait out the time by tormenting ponies in their dreams. Causing Nightmare Night to be invented.
The story has Rarity being forcibly possessed – basically, being kidnapped and tormented until she weakens and is taken over. But in the show, Luna accepts Nightmare Moon’s crimes as her own. She created the Tantabus to punish herself. That hadn’t been made yet when the Nightmare Rarity story was written, but there was never anything in the series to suggest that Nightmare Moon was forced on Luna, or that Luna wasn’t ever really Nightmare Moon.
Also, the Nightmare Entities behave comedically, and the story involves Rarity being kidnapped to the moon, and Celestia and the Mane 6 traveling to the moon by pulling it close to Equestria. If it was that easy to get to the moon, why did Celestia wait a thousand years to retrieve her sister?
It’s a kid’s story, and it shows even more than the show in general does. They really undercut the whole horror aspect by having Rarity be possessed against her will. The show does these things much better; Rarity fell for the Inspiration Manifestation on her own, no forcible possession required. Plus, when you’re writing a comic about horrifying nightmare creatures possessing people, it maybe isn’t the best idea to have them act goofy. I think they were trying for a Bone homage, with the “stupid stupid rat creatures”, but… it really doesn’t work.
Gorgeous design for Nightmare Rarity, though.
