WAS IT YOU, NAZISTICK?!

Orange Crayon

Don't you dare miss it.

johnserrano, see sometimes it works out quite well

i liek you even more than i did before

Oversized Cocks

Original character.

Atleast i would be a better Villain that King Somber...He went out like a pansy. Killed by A baby dragon and Rocket Cadence.

Went out like a pansy? He didn't really try that hard to re-capture the crystal heart but he got more exploded than alderaan. that's going out like a boss. i liked it.

Like a pansy, as in too easy.

look at comment number 27 and you will see.

I don't think Discord was really a "bad" guy, he just wanted to have fun at the expense of everyone else. I could see him turning face and being apart of the show later on. I know most of the brony community would love to see him again.

Discord would be considered Chaotic Neutral.

Agreed. Sombra is the only villain so far that just seems evil for the sake of being evil.

How is having fun at the expense of everyone else not being the bad guy?

I thought he looked stupid as all fuck at first, because I was expecting just a normal evil king who had turned evil for an understandable reason. Nightmare Moon wanted recognition, and her design reflected her status as princess of the night. Chrysalis was hungry, and her design represented her parasitic nature. Discord represents chaos, it's his job, so his design represented chaos.

Sombra on the other hand was just totally fucking bonkers. He was kind of like Sauron, from Lord of the Rings. Once I saw him in action, how vicious and corrupt he was, unlike the other three main villains, his design made a lot more sense to me.

( Warning: Bad English)
I didn't think, he were bad.
look at it this way...
Remember, that Sombra had the ''Shadow magic'' eyes like Twilight and Celestia, but unlike them, his were permanent.
I believe, that the ''Shadow magic'', is a spell, that corrupt things and turn them into shadows of their previous self, a perfect tool for an emperor, that have lost his people trust. So in return for a people in submission, he turned them all into shadows, without free will and without memories. But this could come with a price.
The corruption may have affected Sombra too, what if the corruption took away his humanity and memories too, so he also only were a shadow of his previous self. Remember, that Celestia and Luna destroyed his physical form and only left him with his tainted soul, which only purpose were to ''reclaim his slaves'', when he returned. He had no intellect and no reasons. He were simply a beast, which instincts told him what to do, remember, that he could barely form a sentence.
Bottom line is, he had no background story, because he didn't have any reason to talk about it, he didn't have any reason for his actions at all.

Let me just make sure I understand you:

The Sombra we saw in the premier was only a fragment of what Sombra used to be.

Sombra's use of the dark magics is what made him evil to begin with. It tainted his soul further and further until there was nothing good left in it. he used the dark magic to retain his control over the Crystal Empire after its citizens finally decided he was a terrible king and should be removed.

Before his defeat, he was a rational being with an evil soul. Celestia and Luna destroyed his physical presence, along with the rational thought and cognitive functions that the physical brain would have provided him. What we saw in the premier was merely the evil soul, what drove his physical self to begin with. Effectively a braindead lunatic, so to speak.

He was driven to retake the Empire and re-enslave everyone because that's what he was doing when he was destroyed. He's a ghost re-living his past. The ghost doesn't know why it's doing it, and maybe it can't even think at all. It's just a ghost doing what it's doing.

Is that what you're saying?

Yes!
I was afraid, that I would be totally impossible to understand.

Well, it isn't wrong most of it.

I would like the last episode to have all the villain team up. I don't want just him to be back.

Well there's that Trixie necklace theory, but that doesn't sound very likely.

explain.

There is another Trixie episode scheduled. She goes to Ponyville and pushes Twilight out.

Nah, But you have to admit, He knows how to dress.

The biggest problem with him was that he was very cliche for a villain. No real back story, typical motive of dominating the world and too few of lines. He had so much potential and we only got a glimpse as to what he could do. But he did have the coolest defeat sequence of any villain thus far.

i dont think they were going for a hero vs villain thing this time.
Twilight had to fix shit / find the crystal heart before cadence lost controll.

So this adventure had more of a race against the clock thing going on, and there wasnt enough time to get to know the villain and his background story.

Some would call it a swing and a miss. But i liked a lot of it.

I don't disagree with that but I still would have loved to see more of King Sombra because out of all the villains he was the most interesting to me. Discord was cool and all but you see one Chaos villain you've seen them all, the only difference being the level of just how bat-shit crazy they are. Sombra was like Darth Maul, freaking cool design, epic powers yet underdeveloped to the hellish degree.

'Dominating the world' that is only a theory sadly. So far we only know he wanted to rule the Crystal Empire, but yeah. His defeat was truly awesome. Better than Discord's

You sure he'd just stop with the Crystal Empire? Sure it's only an assumption but I can't imagine him stopping. Each of the villains though weren't the smartest. I don't mean they were stupid but they made some bad mistakes. King Sombra for example, he made getting to the Crystal Heart very difficult but where it ended up being was so silly that if a pegasi flew up there they'd have it. Queen Chrysalis gloated victory simply after defeating Celestia and dropped her guard. Discord was too fixated on having his fun that he underestimated the mane 6. And Nightmare Moon put forth challenges that only further revealed the fact that each of the mane 6 represent the Elements. Sure it's just a kid's show so the villains don't need to be impossibly tough but I can't help but point out the mistakes of villains when ever I see them.

Yeah I can see what you mean. I can actually see Discord win easily if he brought out full potential.
Imagine the terror and fear he could spread if he wanted?
Making it rain lava and summon and create all kinds of monsters to his command.

He easily could have defeated them, he clearly had the power to ensure they'd never find the Elements and more. But he wanted to prove he was better than the Elements and sought to utterly defeat the wielders and did so. As a Chaos character he did it in his own way and had fun doing it, but because he wanted to humiliate them more than truly defeat them he slipped up. Out of all the villains he was their most dangerous foe, but this is what happens when you don't keep your eye on the prize.

Agreed. I wish they would expand more on the dark/evil side of magic.

Hey, you never know. We still don't fully know what the next level of magic twilight is learning.

Actually, chrysalis was defeated by love.

Sombra was defeated by a relic powered by positive emotions, not just love.

ok, I'll give you that, but still... elements have lost their meaning in the story by now if this continues...

I actually think it's good that they haven't resorted to the elements again just yet. It'd get a bit mundane if THAT was their answer for everything.

They still probably have importance, just not much has been revealed just yet. You have to remember that most of season 1 and 2 were just filler, and didn't do much to help the story outside of developing the character's relationships.

I agree with dtox, the last thing that the show would need is for the Elements to become a deus ex machina device that they use each time something bad happens. New villain? Elements of Harmony! Cerberus loose again? Elements of Harmony!

It's nice to see that the Elements aren't ALWAYS the answer, and at the same time there shouldn't be just one thing that is resorted to to solve all issues; there's probably some unknown importance behind the Elements that we don't know yet like dtox said.

What, the usage of emotions as a source of power?

It's the very basis of franchises like starwars.

Well if that was the least lame OC pony to be sent in then that does tell us something about the other OC ponies to be sent in.
