Possible for Sombra to return?

[ManaMinori 4,146]

It's likely for Sombra to return, I think. First off, Sunbutt said that when she and Luna fought him, he was turned to shadow and trapped under the ice. He continued to be shadow for 1000 years, and only returned to a solid form when in close proximity to the Crystal Heart. Perhaps if he's away from it, he reverts back- and what I think the CH did was only destroy or break down his solidified form. Plus, his horn- which we saw as able to regenerate, could do the same again.

 

There's an interesting team up that could be done if Sombra does return, and that would be with a villain from generation 1 named Arabus- a cloud creature who steals shadows for power and energy. Being a creature of shadow himself, it would be entertaining to see Arabus struggling to cooperate with Sombra, whose foresight and cunning could be a valuable asset in carrying out evil plans, or using him merely as an energy source, to get the job done on his own.

 

What do you guys think?

He did technically return once.

@@Nightmare Muffin,

*is holding a comic of him being good again with his marefriend* OwO;;;;;

[leonbrony17 1,216]

I would wish for. But i'm absolutly sure he won't return.

[Marimo 555]

Since Hasbro approved of a major story arc in the comics where he not only comes back but is turned into a good guy, it's most likely they don't have plans for him in the show. There certainly weren't more plans for him when they originally wrote TCE since Meghan pretty much considered him to be dead at that point.

I don't like Seige of the Crystal Empire that much so I really don't count it. I say he passed on, and it should stay that way. Not all villains can reform.

 

I do wanna see Tirek return though!

The shadow ponies wer pretyt neat but yeah that ending was so cheesy.  it wa liek "oh no bielvei nteh power of freindship blah blah blah, turned good blah blah magic mumbojumpo presto chango

He never wanted to be evil in the first place, he was just convinced it was his destiny, and that it was basically set in stone whether he wanted it or not. When Radiant Hope convinced him otherwise, by showing that she hadn't followed through on her "Destiny", he realized he didn't have to go through with all this.

 

 Honestly, I think it's one of the better reformations in the series. 

[Sketchy Tail 206]

I'm pretty sure he's like, dead or something.

 

He didn't get banished, he got like, blown up almost.

Yea and ot be fair tat horn fragment was used in the comics to bring him back to life. First ther was his finship is magic comic and then that main arch.

[Vlazamal 338]

Comics are not canon. He bit the dust hard

 

I wish they were

[cmarston1 5,960]

In the show proper he is pretty much dead, so he can't really return.

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,162]

Anything is possible; I would like to think we'll see the King of Shadows again at some point. We saw his horn fragment survive, and the comics used that to full force, so really, I don't entirely buy the "He's Dead" bit, even coming from Meghan herself.

After all, she's the same lady who said Flash Sentry wouldn't be on the main show:

He was only in the background for like 2 episodes, and didn't do anything at all to impact the narrative in any sort of way whatsoever, so technically she wasn't lying when she said Flash Sentry wouldn't be a character in season 4, as he ended up being a prop instead of an actual character.

Meghan said Flash Sentry wouldn't be a character on the show, but didn't literally say that he wouldn't be in the show period.

If there is one thing decades of reading comic books have taught me it's "You don't see the body, they ain't really dead"  So, he's only merely dead, he's really not sincerely dead.  Besides, even if he's really dead, he's in Tartarus (where else is he going to go, Cleveland?).  Tirek has shown that ain't necessarily a one way trip.

[Java Jive 440]

If you're looking for a way to revive him, you can. He's MLP's very own schrödingers pony. How so?

[Olsen1987 133]

i hope he does.
really.
favorite villain and all that jazz.

and my experience from other universes where magic is involved, a fragment of a entitys body was more than enough to bring someone...or something...back to life (in this case, Sombras horn).
but also very often not a unsmashed body part, but the soul/spirit/life force.
spirits can indeed exist in MLP, as we saw in "Hearths Warming Tail".

[Sovereign Leader Rarity 12,017]

While I do think that Sombra will return, I actually am not in favour of it.

 

Sombra is easily my worst villain on this show. He has little to no personality to speak of, virtually no backstory whatsoever and heck, the guy gets like 2 lines of dialogue before he is defeated by frickin SPIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

If they do return him ( which I think there is a fairly decent chance of happening ) PLEASE give him an in depth backstory or some more screen time, or something, anything to make him actually stand out.

well, no personality or backstory isn't necessarily a bad thing, it only adds more questions which can be explained later.

otherwise, since season 3 was supposed to be the last (as i've heard), maybe they didn't want to add too much story for a last season?

and technically it was Twilight who defeated him, Spike had to take a order to just bring a item to someone, pretty simple (and he almost failed).

 

[TBD 17,262]

Not so, but it's not impossible either. With dark magic, he can be revive..just as long they don't have him reform..like in the comic.

[Sovereign Leader Rarity 12,017]

I suppose so.

 

I'm just more of an answers person than a questions person.I just want more to make him stick out from the rather large group of villains. If their intention was to make Sombra a mystery and to keep everything about his past for a later reveal, than that is a very smart move on their behalf. If not..................................... Just give him his backstory from the comic.
