Talk:Shadow Play, Part I/@comment-29361916-20170727154158

Since I'm getting real tired of people saying Sombra is the villain here I am going to explain who the villain is and why it's not Sombra. The reason why it wasn't Sombra is because Sombra has already been reformed in the comics. And they said they were not going to use him in the show again so yeah. THE END

Now we move on to who the villain is. Currently we pretty much already have confirmation on who it is due to all the hints recently.

The villain of Season 7 Finale is most likely the ancestor of Shadowlock from the comics who is also the Pony of Shadows from Castle Mane-ia. Now for the hints.

-The season theme Family (Ancestral family ties.)

-Title for the finale Shadow Play (Key word Shadow.)

-MLP FIM Issue #51-53 From the Shadows (Ties into Season 7 but we never learned how also we saw a picture of the villain in book.)

-Upcoming Legends of Magic issue #7 (Starswirl and his team fighting an evil creature confirmed to tie into Season 7 Finale.)

-News of Twilight fighting the Pony of Shadows (From the Discorvery Family press release of the second half of Season 7 they gave one sentence "Twilight Sparkle battles the Pony of Shadows.")
