I still don't understand why peaple say that. They only think he's lame because he doesn't appear or speak as much. He ENSLAVED an entire empire and used fear on them. Celestia and Luna weren't powerful enough to destroy him so they could only turn him to shadow and imprison him. While Chrysalis only became stronger than Celestia by feeding off Shining Armor's love.

When he returned he didn't screw around and might have killed the Mane 6 if they didn't get through the barrier, which he couldn't cross because it was comprised of his greatest weakness. As VillainNut noted, he set some dark traps for Twilight which would have defeated her if it wasn't for the presence of Spike. He didn't seem aware that Spike was with her until he saw him with the Crystal Heart, and would have killed him and taken it if it wasn't for Shining Armor and Cadance's "Incredibles" moment. The only thing he could have done differently was trying a final attack on Cadance before she could set the Crystal Heart back, or trying to intercept it before it unleashed its power.
