Starlight has become a prime example of that. Addition to the mane cast, a lot of focus, some people like her addition, but some don't. Some people like her backstory, some don't. Some feel she is too powerful, some don't care. I guess Flash Sentry too.

I noticed a different color on this guard here when I saw the episode, but it wasn't until I saw comments that yes, we have a mare in the guard now! We've never actually seen that before, it's usually the same two or three models of stallion. This is pretty cool! I wonder why they decided to in season 8.

Since it's pertinent, I'll throw this image out here. Haven't seen the movie but people have been making the comparison for some time and this image is real good

I'm someone who for years has been intrigued with the thought of transforming into an animal, or what it would feel like, and this is way before I got into the pony thing. I've seen files like this, and I've been intrigued, though not for individual characters. Instead, I mean particularly for the nondescript pony hypnosis ones. I've been curious about seeing the pegasus file, (they have variants that include mares, stallions, the option to involve your... certain body parts, let's say, though I start to feel weird about that in a pony context...) But as a science dude, I'm both super intrigued yet at the same time quite intimidated. Hypnosis is a real mystery, and playing around with my subconscious is a spooky prospect, the things hypnosis can do. Plus I already have OCD and anxiety and such, I have no idea what I would be getting myself into.

Things I would love to see: Not for the show to end as has been suspected, for one. -Flurry Heart having some involvement or importance -Scootaloo's parents or aunts, or somehow finally being able to fly, though that would have to be done the right way. -Something from the comics, a storyline or character The CMCs kicking flank like their sisters, School Raze made it seem like they were more involved than they were in the episode. Tempest! Cozy coming back, somehow attaining the power she desires, putting Equestria in a dire situation. (and if she does, please give her a JRPG-esque powered up form sort of like they do in Equestria Girls! Speaking of Equestria Girls, have a Shimmer episode! Though how they would do that without directly referencing Equestria Girls, I dunno. The Pillars plus Stygian teaming up again to help with a problem, presumably one the mane 6 can't attend to for some reason. Some good development on Starlight and Sunburst's friendship. (...relationship? might not happen but I love those two)

Something tells me this chart needs an update...

It's tough for me to pick, because you have all sorts of villain types. You have bombastic villains and more subtle villains, and you have villains with different desires, from ruling, to jerkishness, to Sephiroth levels of wanting to attain power. At least for the reformed bad guys, my favorites would have to be Starlight and Stygian. (though you could say Stygian is barely a villain in comparison to the others, and the Pony of Shadows.)

I would pay to have someone draw her as a Sephiroth-esque angelic-looking powerful JRPG final boss.

Nothing wrong with this filly, no siree.

I dunno, they haven't lost their abilities, it's the Elements they can't use unless in tandem. They keep their strength, magic, healing, and badassery.

Thinking about this, Pegasi would be so unbeatable. Get the ball to one of them and fly it in for a touchdown!

I've wondered this. The pillars (Stygian included) all have their own lives now in Equestria, but sort of like the Avengers, there could be a case where they all could be joined back for another mission if needed be, they ARE all badasses and warriors and such. I don't see it being out of the realm of possibility for them. They make a great team and I like them. Maybe if the Mane 6 had another mission to do and needed somepony else for a side thing, or something.

He's such a cutie. I watch a reactor who says Sandbar is the least favorite of the students, probably because he's the ordinary pony, but I like his design, colors, and personality regardless. This yawn he did in What Lies Beneath is so effing cute too

I saw some preview images on Derpibooru and I really want to see this. I usually wait until the compilations come out, since I don't really know anywhere that sells the normal ones, and the compilations I find at Barnes and Noble. But I saw a real awesome Stygian image in one of those shots, and I liked it enough that I made it my new avatar. (I mean seriously, a good number of posts I make here mention him, so why not have him as my pic?) And Eris gives me serious visual vibes of Edea from FF8

This is something I've wondered about. During The Mean Six I was wondering what would happen to Chrysalis, but nothing ever did. But what do you think should happen to her? Some people have said she should be reformed like the other changelings, but some others say that would ruin her appeal if she did that. The other options I can think of are being sent to Tartarus, or she somehow gets destroyed, almost like Sombra. What do you say?
