King Sombra or Queen Chrysalis: Who would you vote for?

[Nylon 158]

Considering the infamous election America is suffering from this year, my brain hatched a pretty stupid idea for a thread. Who would you rather have as one to rule over you and all around you, Queen Chrysalis, or King Sombra? A changeling, or an Umbrum? A parasite, or a most likely possible nutcase?<--- (Sounds familiar, don't it?)

 

Feel free to explain as to why you believe your choice is the best case scenario out of these two worse case scenarios. I see lots of people doing the same for Trump and Clinton, so go right ahead just for the heck of it right here.

Probably Chrysalis. I haven't seen the season finale yet, but from what I can tell, her MO has something to gain from harmony. Sombra is just a tyrant.

[CinnamonPop 3,341]

Chrissie. It's better than being treated like a slave. >.<

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,152]

I'd probably go with Sombra; I have my doubts that living as a cocooned feeder for a horde of changelings is any better than living as a slave for a mad, though intelligent shadow pony king.

[cider float 2,535]

Under Chrysalis I'd probably be in a cocoon acting as a kind of love donor until I die of old age and under Sombra probably be a slave but still have some chance of escaping.

Funny, I was just thinking about how Hillary reminded me of Chrysalis and Trump reminded me of Sombra. I'd do what I'm going to do in real life and vote for Chrysalis.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 40,291]

Almighty Chrysalis would get my vote easily. See, she may have some wrong intentions but she may not be as bad as one might think. She does at least care for someone, her hive, and that is better than nothing. While on the other hoof, Sombra doesn't care about anyone and is a tyrant.

 

Wow, this really sounds like this current election.

[Dawn Darkness 217]

His Majesty will go on in my book. I haven't seen the full premiere of the season with his appearance in, though. Going to do that in the future.

[BastementSparkle 20,312]

I count comics as canon, so going with how they are portrayed in those as well as the show...Sombra.

@@Bored2death,

Gonna have to go with Chryssy, at least enslavement with her is comatose, there doesn't appear to be much suffering going on. lol 

[RedFox 43]

I would vote for Chrysalis. Sombra doesn't have a good "speech". (get it? :v )

[Castle Bleck 19,167]

Sombra; according to the comics, at least he's capable of Even Evil Has Standards -- not unlike, say, Darth Vader.

Chrysalis, however, is basically just a female Palpatine -- in both the show and the comics.

This election is crazy.

 

'Nuff said.

[cider float 2,535]

Sombra but I probably would of escaped and been long gone in some other country or world if I have to to avoid that dictatorship.

[GrimGrimoire 4,970]

I dunno, one one hand Chrysalis doesnot sound so tyrannical.. but on the other, if you count the comics Sombra is not completely evil and does have some standards.

 

I think I could get away with more though if Chrysalis was in charge. I have no love in me so I would taste awful.

[Ganondorf8 11,118]

I count comics as canon, so going with how they are portrayed in those as well as the show...Sombra.

 

I also view the comics as being canon to the show, so for me the option would be Sombra after his reformation. He would show kindness towards his subjects as opposed to Chrysalis who uses fear and intimidation.

Ha!

 

I'd most likely vote for Sombra.

[Duality 10,738]

I'd probably go with Sombra, because his motives were never technically revealed in the show, so it's possible that the only reason he enslaved the Crystal Ponies was to establish the Crystal Empire as a military contender with Equestria.

As such, if he was the ruler of Earth, he may be inclined to rule, while in a dictatorial fashion, fairly benevolently, as Sombra would likely be smart enough to know that treating his subjects like slaves for no reason is not beneficial for the economy and would eventually result in a rebellion of sorts, potentially wasting valuable resources.

 

Sombra and Trump, in that respect, are quite juxtaposed. :-P

[ponytable 2]

I think I would rather suffer with Chrysalis.  It doesn't seem like they are living horribly, they aren't slaves.  They are just war-mongering, and take places for resources, not necessarily land.    

[cider float 2,535]

If Chrysalis didn't bind me to a cocoon and I could serve her instead hell why not. I can give her love willingly <3

[Flutterbattyyy 330]

While Sombra is my favorite villain, I would vote Chrysalis. Chrysalis at least has a chance to become good. Sombra is the embodiment of evil–I mean, he literally enslaved his own subjects to work for him.

 

In real life, I am a strong supporter of Hillary. Personally, I think she'll be a great president. My reasoning? If Fluttershy were to vote, she'd definitely choose Hillary. 

[cmarston1 5,951]

I would vote for Sombra. Because you didn't say that I couldn't vote for good King Sombra from the comics.

[K1539 47]

I think Chrysalis would be better at it. She does concern herself with the well being of her subjects (Sombre just enslaves them) but in the case of the Ponies she consumes their love which may or may not be fatal. A quick death is better than a lifetime of slavery. Alternately, since there's no love in me  I could just fit in as one of her subjects

SOMBRAAAA HONEY DIS IS MY THING I AM DE SOMBRA PRINCESS!!

 

Jk jk (not jk) but really I mean watch lily Peet's video on villains now you know my points

[leonbrony17 1,216]

Doesn't matter. Both of them are pretty good.

 

But I would be sombras greatest warrior if i would get ruled by him. Long live his power of fear and awesomeness (ähmmmmmm i mean darkness)
