Talk:King Sombra/@comment-32136229-20130111171939

During my first watch, I didn't really liked Sombra. After a while, I have started to like him more. Sure, he doesn't get as much characterization as the previous villains, but does he really need one? The Crystal Empire wasn't supposed to be about him. This is supposed to be about Twilight.

I think he definitely plays his role well as a looming threat. He doesn't explain his motivations for why he did the things he did, which makes him an even more mysterious unicorn. He is possibly the cleverest and most evil villain we ever had in the show. He goes into great lengths in making sure nopony gets the Crystal Heart by creating lots and lots of stairs, creating a door that traps you into your worst nightmare and trapping Twilight inside a black crystal wall. Had Spike not been there, she would have clearly lost to Sombra. Those obstacles alone made Sombra one heck of a villain.

Although I still think Discord and Chrysalis are still better villains than Sombra, my opinion on him has certainly improved, and now I liked him more than Nightmare Moon.
