It's a very downer scenario and, while it does have a happy ending, it's not very optimistic (All of the Crystal Ponies experience massive depression) and the urgency is far greater (Notice how Celestia doesn't even treat Nightmare's return as a threat (Despite knowing it'd happen for a thousand years) and how the show intentionally downplayed Chrysalis's threat by giving her two songs).

I never thought of it that way.
