Who are the better villians?

The ancient evils and strange creatures, or the normal ponies with a dark agenda?

Not just opener/finale villains, but the other villains like Trixie or the hydra, too.

Little kids who do not do anything but talk shit while the protagonists make fools of themselves.

>but the other villains like Trixie or the hydra, too.

Hydra was undefeated.

I vote for hydra as the most badass creature in equestria.

Doesn't matter. What matters is how developed characters they are.

In the end, good episodes is all that really matters and that depends on writers and good writers can make both sorts of villains interesting. Worse writer will often have a tendency to choose villain that's easier to writer for - like NMM/Do Nutsteal/that big guy - but that doesn't mean that good writer can't choose similar villain too.

Shallow boss fights that often lack depth is why Starlight was so refreshing as a villain. Apart from the rushed ending in S5 finale, she was written pretty fucking well. You can't really separate that from the episodes themselves, but that doesn't invalidate my point.

Starlight showed up right after the DBZ battle with Tirek as well, which made her seem like a better villian just by comparison. Starlight also had the advantage of being atypical of villians in the genre, so the deviousness of her plan could be revealed over the course of the episode. It is a pity that they then undercut it in the finale by giving her that silly backstory.

It could've been better, but it's not as bad as people say. Like the story how an apple fell on Newton's head and he suddenly realized how gravity works, which of course is bullshit - but it easily could've been a first impulse or something of that sort. The fact that Starlight told it in some way, doesn't necessarily mean that that's exactly how it happed or that it was all there was to it. Now I'm not saying that it was done well (it wasn't), and some criticism is definitely justified, but some of the hate it gets is kind of like being mad that a character in some show said something factually incorrect as if everyone was 100% factually correct in real life.

That misses the problem, which is that the explanation for her behavior leaves her less an evil mastermind and more an angry teenager. The evil mastermind was a brilliant villian. The angry teenager is not.

IMO the fact that she wasn't evil just for the sake of it, is a good thing. As I said, the backstory could've been better, but I don't dislike the general idea. Many communists weren't evil selfish villains and genuinely believed in that stuff. It's just a question whether you prefer the "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" types (Lenin/Trotsky maybe? Or someone else…. I'm not sure how much those two believed it. More than Stalin, that's for sure.) or Stalin types as villains.

>Reality is never as bad as a nightmare, as the mental torture we inflict upon ourselves.

Bullshit. That's not torture, just pathetic self pity.

>Chaos is the name for any order that produces confusion in our minds.

No, chaos is the name used to describe the lack of any kind of order.

>Deception may give us what we want for the present, but it will always take it away in the end.

No, deception, if used right, will win in the long run too. Just look at how much money the leaders of Scientology are racking in…

>Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts… Perhapes the fear of a loss of power.

No. Being given unrestricted power over others makes you less likely to empathise with them.

Its scientifically proven.

>The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else. Which makes you unique.

No it just makes you a self absorbed, narcissistic and myopic. Hardly unique traits in others, much as we may want them to be…

Those bookmarks have to be some of the dumbest "profound thoughts" I've ever read.

Almost as dumb as the comments in this thread not discussing how awesome Nightmare Moon is and why she's so much cooler than the other posers…

It a quote from abraham lincoln, and hinges entirely on number 4 not being true to have any meaning..

Giving people power is a test of some ones character BECAUSE it corrupts. If it doesn't what are you testing?

Its really just a classic example of how the idiot who made those bookmarks put no thought into them at all.

How about we discuss how awesome the rightful ruler of equestria is instead?
