cider float 2,538 December 19, 2016 Share December 19, 2016 (edited) Let's break it down. -The mane six and their Element of Harmony Friendship Nuke Blast solves all problems. -They got Discord nuff said in fact I could just stop the list here. That's like having Chuck Norris on your side. -Luna/Nightmare Moon is no joke -Celestia is pretty damn powerful -The Wonderbolts -They have the Changelings on their side that can disguise as anybody and are many in number. No doubt they might still have access to that magic nullifying rock. -They have the Yaks as allies -They got the Buffaloes as allies -We got a super powerful alicorn named Flurry Heart in the making -Some progress is being made with the Griffons -How could I forget the super magic genius Starlight Glimmer as well If there was an enemy threat. How could they lose? Edited December 19, 2016 by cider float Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider float 2,538 December 19, 2016 Author Share December 19, 2016 um...idk traitors, flipping by pursaion, new evil leaders... what can you think of? My point is, this is one of the reasons reforming and all these alliances just makes it harder to make new villains for the ponies or make it unrealistic. Like where was Luna when there was the changeling attack? That sort of question will rise up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganondorf8 11,310 December 19, 2016 Share December 19, 2016 If Lord Tirek were to somehow escape from Tartarus and began absorbing magic again, he would become quite the threat to Equestria since he grows stronger with each portion of magic he gains. He would also be aware of what the Mane Six are capable of and would be better prepared to face them when the time came. Of course, a completely new villain could easily make things difficult especially if they were a villain whose backstory was largely cast in shadows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Letter 1,832 December 19, 2016 Share December 19, 2016 The changelings did take over all of Equestria without any significant resistance, I would imagine. Of course, we didn't see what happened that allowed them to do so. One might think the Alicorns would be powerful enough to see an attack coming. If they can be suddenly attacked then Equestria is essentially defenseless. All of their allies seem to not really be a factor. Changelings, after reformation, probably won't either. They're just out there somewhere. Their rulers really should be powerful but from what we've seen, they're not. I've written a topic already that did address Equestria's government being overthrown on more than one occasion which consists of the ruling leaders being captured and/or their military being disabled or made irrelevant. Of course the writers will just flip the table and make strong characters weak and helpless to further advance a plot if need be. Even Discord. Silver Letter!!!

BadHorse 39 December 19, 2016 Share December 19, 2016 (edited) I think all of these factors could be an indicator of just how big the next potential threat on the horizon is. Edited December 19, 2016 by BadHorse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambdadelta 1,462 December 19, 2016 Share December 19, 2016 Yeah, people thought the same thing about walking dead season 6 and then Negan came ;3. All Hasbro need to do is create some OP villains, it not that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmarston1 5,959 December 19, 2016 Share December 19, 2016 At this point, I would rather see a villain pretend to be reformed and use that to betray the mane cast. That would be much more interesting than the regular rushed and half-baked reformations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifty 249 December 19, 2016 Share December 19, 2016 All you need is an anti magic/love/changeling artifact which isn't effective against its wielder. Bam - Everyone is as helpless as a little kitten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to be what they've been doing too much of. -Ponies lose all their magic -Ponies lose their cutie marks -Ponies personalities are reversed -Magic nullifying Kryptonite!

Thrond 3,263 December 20, 2016 Share December 20, 2016 How could anyone defeat Equestria, you say? Very carefully, I say. Okay but in all seriousness... yeah, "very carefully" about covers it. Clearly there's things out there that can stop Celestia, Luna, and Discord, and everyone else strikes me as distinctly fallible. And, yeah, the villain could also turn the heroes of Equestria against each other in some way or another, or use some other sort of manipulation. I'd rather the show used big bad villains less often, but I understand that a lot of people strongly disagree with that, so I do think sneaky villains would be fun.

Rainblow H. Ash 5,091 December 20, 2016 Share December 20, 2016 At this point, it seems like they need a group of villains that have the anti-Elements that can shoot a Rainbow of Darkness in order to be a threat. #bringbackmerriwetherwillaims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBaby 660 December 20, 2016 Share December 20, 2016 (edited) What they really need is a villain that is consistent for more than two episodes. The reason nothing's a threat is because they MacGuffin any threat away in a two-parter. They need a villain that has long term plans, and is cognizant of the power of whatever MacGuffin the mane six are using at the time. I guess they could have a Psycho Rangers arc with evil versions of the Elements of Harmony and that would probably work pretty well. But they need to have a way around the power that the mane six is using, to force them to think outside the box in order to overcome the new enemy. Seriously Hasbro, give me control of one Season and a month and I could come up with a new villain that's a real threat to Equestria. Edited December 21, 2016 by SBaby A Winner Is You!!!

cider float 2,538 December 21, 2016 Author Share December 21, 2016 With Discord on their side the only threat that could come is some kind of god or force of nature or something and even then Discord would barely break a sweat snapping it away. One reason why Discord just ruins the entire show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
