Talk:King Sombra/@comment-99.163.24.174-20121113171753

I don't see why Sombra is so hated. I think he's good in the less-seen the better category. The less you see of a villain and the less you hear him talk, the more mysterious and monstrous he really is. Let's look at other villains so far from G4.

Nightmare Moon: Had an entire episode building up to her and we were left eagerly waiting to see when she'd make her debut. However, her flaws were that she hammed it up (a lot) and her design, while interesting, looked more like a femme-fatale rather than a princess gone rogue.

Discord: We got to flat-out see what he looked like from the first few minutes of his premiere. However, he wasn't as threatening as Nightmare Moon because while she had build-up and kept the audience on their toes knowing her appearance is going to be inevitable. But on the upside, Discord was a fun, enjoyable villain.

Chrysalis: This villain was good because of how unexpected she was. I swear when Cadence's eyes started to flash from her normal color to green, I started to figure "Yeah, something seems off" which made her introduction all the more startling.

Sombra: We got to see him in his physical form and shadow form (which looks suspiciously like Arabus from G1 with Aku eyes) however, they made him an essential plot point. Throughout the episode you just know he's going to penetrate into the Empire, it's inevitable. Also, he is the first villain to be willingly evil. Discord did bad things because he wanted to have fun at others' expense. Nightmare Moon was just Luna corrupted by jealousy, anger and betrayal. Chrysalis was just trying to feed her hive and would go to any lengths to make sure it survived. Sombra, on the other hand, chose to be evil. Also, he was given less lines because it makes him all the more mysterious, as if he sees himself above everyone, even the alicorns. Besides, I was kinda creeped out when he said "My glorious little sla-aves."
