fishmonger: The brown one is all unmatched... different horns, different arms, differently-coloured wings and legs, a tail that doesn't match the body... it makes my Death the Kid senses shudder.
fishmonger: @PinkBallons: MLP has villains? Like, proper villains that commit crimes and hurt others, or a "villain" in the sense that they just pull pranks and stuff? I find it surprising a show targeted at youngsters would even have villains at all. Conflict perhaps, maybe between main characters or something, but villains?
PinkBallons: @fishmonger: Every season has had a main villain so far, actually. The first episode introduced Nightmare Moon, who wanted to cast the world in eternal darkness and tried to send the main characters plummeting off a cliff to their deaths at one point. Discord in season 2 was out to shape the world to his liking, which involved things like turning towns upside-down and making ponies miserable for his own amusement. In the recent season he almost succeeded in killing the two goddesses in the show by encasing them in thorns. There's a couple more, but I think you get the point.
The ponies are often in mortal danger, even when not dealing with these major villains. They had to lure Cerberus back to the gates of Tartarus for fucks sake.
Hierolocc: @Fish
The Queen of the Changelings for example was looking to conquer Equestria so that her species could feed on their love (which eventually kills), and after being defeated, they wound up in a smaller kingdom and flat out brought them to extinction in the IDW comics. To be an asshole, Chrysalis herself bites the head off of one of these small, sentient creatures in front of several small children.
fishmonger: @PinkBallons: @Hierolocc: Cool. I still don't think I can get behind the concept of cutesy little ponies doing cutesy little pony things, but the fact that there's some darkness in it sort of makes me warm up to it a bit more.
