Talk:King Sombra/@comment-26973802-20131229023445

Is King Sombra the only perfect villain death in the series?

Nightmare Moon - While some like myself view her as the embodiment of Luna's jealousy and bitterness, some think her to be Luna corrupted, as the episodes did nothing to suggest the former.

Windigos - No lines or character, more a beast than anything. However they were pretty sinister, and their death scene was cool, so they come close.

Queen Chrysalis - Over half the fandom thinks she survived her fall. (Although I'd say her death is pretty much confirmed, and the only reason Meghan hasn't confirmed it was to let us make up our own minds, I think she's afraid of ruining her character if she brings her back).

Pinkie Pie clones - Didn't seem so much villains as mischief makers.

King Timberwolf - Like the Windigos, no lines or character, and more of a beast.

Demon Sunset Shimmer - Same as Nightmare Moon. Her lines do suggest she is Sunset Shimmer corrupted by the darkness in her heart. I personally think she's something of an "Evil Buu" or a Buffy the Vampire Slayer vampire (and no I don't think the same of Flutterbat), but still.

Black Vines - While their destruction is clear, and they are menacing and dangerous, they seem even less than beasts, and some don't even count them as "villains".

King Sombra - Dark villain, menacing, has lines (even if he doesn't have many he has some at all and his voice suits the character), not much character but enough to know how evil he is, and gets a spectacular death scene which was later confirmed.

Again, I was cool with Discord turning good, now that we've got Chrysalis and Sombra I kinda wanted Discord to turn good so I wasn't disappointed there, and I hope Lightning Dust does too. I like all the Season 4 episodes but after they left Ahuizotl off a karma houdini, tied up the Mane-iac (though I won't say that wasn't a good defeat scene - two of her own weapons, and fell victim to Flutter Rage), and made the main antagonist of Season 4 some character-less vines created by Discord, I'm starting to think all the "I'm disappointed King Sombra can't return"'s discouraged them from disposing of major villains the way G1 did. (which is my preference, atleast for the really dark malevolent villains)

On that note, anypony who was disappointed with that, why were you disappointed that a villain you thought was lame was killed off? Shouldn't you be glad we won't be seeing "King Lame-o" anymore?
