Buck Testa 5,505 February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 I'm sure you've seen a pattern for a majority of the villains in mlp; They laugh evilly, they plot and scheme, they get arrogant, and then they taste the rainbow. Nightmare Moon and Chrysalis were big time proponents of these wicked witch like stereotypes. Discord didn't stray to far from this formula either, and Sombra while different did not have that big of an impact. The early version of Tirek hit on it in a way, something that wasn't strong enough to muscle Equestria to its knees by brute force, but one that used his wits. But still this was to similar to the others. Here is the villain of the premier (I think anyway) You don't see her? Well lets zoom in a bit Frankly she creeps me out, I mean just look at her just staring at you, its like the start of a creepypasta that someone actually put some effort into. I LOVE IT! Every other villain has been loud and boisterous with arrogance being their downfall. This one seems to be more of an Anti-Twilight. She seems cool, collected, sure of her plan not because she is powerful but because she is smart, and MOST importantly, she's CREEPY as supposed to being a cookie cutter laugh-a-lot villain stereotype. Even better if she didn't view herself as a villian at all, but rather a bringer of Equality to ponies everywhere. Her message would resemble the soothing call of a cult leader warping the minds of her followers so they all behave and act the same. She would be a MORE effective villain if she WASN'T loud, but rather smooth and quiet, lightly smiling at her new members of her herd whether they want to or not. She doesn't need to be a powerful fighter, because resisting her is futile. Are you excited for this new and mysterious (not to mention disturbing) villain to take the stage for Season 5? 8 http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Billy%20G%20Gruff http://billyggruff.deviantart.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPVpSXbUpDYTcaFHTPiPjYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruddboy Olaf 10,628 February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 Extremely excited. She looks like a leader of a cult or organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesme Rize 15,687 February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 (edited) Yeah i fully agree on that (eventhough i have a soft spot for sombra) There is an old saying that goes around that says "less is more." And i think the same can be applied to our villain here. I already mentioned that in another thread, but take a look at the T-1000 from Terminator 2. James Cameron could've easily brought in a big muscle guy, like Dolph Lundgren or whatever big action star from the 80s. Instead, he took someone like Robert Patrick, who dosen't really look like much, but is still one of the most intimidating villains in movie history, atleast in my opinion. So for everyone who says that this seasons villain sucks, always remember what Optimus Prime used to say. "There is more then it meets the eye." I am excited for the premiere, whenever the date might be.

Blue Moon 6,342 February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 (edited) She looks eerily similar to Aria Blaze... = Interesting idea though. I wouldn't mind a subtle and more unsettling villain.

Cleverclover 1,526 February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 Yeah, I'll admit I'm looking forward to this villain a lot. This seems like quite the departure from the tired and cliché "ancient evil" villains the show keeps pulling out of the woodwork. It'll only be an added bonus if McCarthy isn't writing the premiere (which I seriously hope she's not). If she isn't, then this villain may actually have the chance to be written well to the point where she actually doesn't let her own stupidity be her downfall like all the rest of McCarthy's villains (with the exception of The Dazzlings). Here's to hoping, of course... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticShine 529 February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 (edited) I'm just glad they're not pulling some clichéd villain from a thousand years in the past who returned because Celestia didn't do her job and kill them in the first place.

Pastel 7,630 February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 (edited) I'm very excited as well, I agree that she looks very different from the other villains. I wonder if she'll become a protagonist after the season premiere... Edited February 21, 2015 by Blobulle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Flair 332 February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 Dang. Looks like a communist-type organization, or like "Animal Farm". You know... "All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others." It's enough to give ya the chills. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dulset Tarn 441 February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 I'm gonna place my bet that she's not the villain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fiery Brony 32 February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 (edited) I think Mayor Marx could easily be one of the best villains in MLP. Discord did ploy evil schemes and was arrogant and so forth, but unlike the others, did it in a really creepy and creative way, being both funny and terrifying. I also liked Nightmare Moon because she was a homage to Malificent. However, this seems like a very cool new type of villain to add to the roster. We've had 5 main villains so far, and I think it's time they created someone with a different type of personality. I hope she's not set out to be one shot, and is written in a way where it's possible for her to return.

LZRD WZRD 1,929 February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 I'm guessing she's a crazy/delusional cult leader or charismatic authoritarian. Check out my channel for awesome video reviews and analysis! https://www.youtube.com/c/LZRDWZRD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmasy Britty 2,553 February 22, 2015 Share February 22, 2015 the theme is definitely going to be about the fact that people are unique instead of the same but this character is different meaning she is unique and perhaps controlling everyone signature by Pucksterv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix 1,363 February 22, 2015 Share February 22, 2015 *stares at the zoomed in image* Okay, how did I not see THAT before? That's pretty freaking awesome. I never noticed she was standing there. It's even more interesting because she looks similar to Aria and not only that but...is this the first major villain who's a young average looking pony like Trixie, Twilight, etc.? I think it is.

BigBossFoxtrot 34 February 22, 2015 Share February 22, 2015 The images for season 5 remind me of 1984 or some other Orwellian dystopia. Even the ponies who are smiling seem like they are doing so under duress. "Be happy or else, don't question anything." Now I want to laugh thinking about a pony version of Kim Jong Il.

Zefir 34 February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 She'll be immune to whatever they try to throw at her till the last episodes when their realize their cutie mark powers, which are basically rainbow powers v.2. Wonder what will she do in the meantime. Maybe messing up the place in name of communism equality? Turning other villages into equals? Of course they can realize their new powers early and make her another come-and-go villain, but that would be a little too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen Pathfinder 16,162 February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 I'm hoping that she's at least an intelligent villain. It's one of the main reasons I'm a fan of Sombra, as well as Grogar from G1, so I'm cautiosly optimistic.

Sazama Ichida 2,367 February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 Man I really wanted Grogar and The Smooze for this season's villains...I am curious about this new pony though. I wonder who she is. 1 The White Shinigami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctofire 227 February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 (edited) Yeah, it looks like this could be it. This isn't to say I disliked the previous villains, (yeah some I did, but others were masterpieces,) but this is the kind of villain I feel we need now. Tirek started off this way, but I feel that character was just an all around waste and let down. Edited February 23, 2015 by Arctofire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC_Maud_Pie 6,431 February 26, 2015 Share February 26, 2015 Yep, first thing that comes to mind is a cult leader that has intentions that the Mane 6 doesn't like. All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don't believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention. I believe that someone should become a person like other people.
