Anyone else find it funny how Nightmare Moon's first attempt at stopping the Mane 6 is to kill them (with the cliff), and all her other attempts are to either scare them away or block them? (the manticore, the evil trees, the gay dragon making the river uncrossable, and the Gorge of Eternal Peril with the Shadowbolts?) Because of this people say she's less evil than she is, and put Demon Sunset Shimmer above King Sombra as being "the only villain who actually tries to kill a character"

And that's just main villains, the Hydra tries to kill Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Spike, and nearly succeeds on more than one occasion, if Twilight hadn't bitten Pinkie's tail, gotten Spike on her back, and jumped across the cliff when Pinkie told her to, Pinkie, Spike, and Twilight would be dead
