Hierok 11,833 March 24, 2017 Share March 24, 2017 Sombra is, with exception of Discord, my favorite antagonist. The comics made him second. The show was fine, but the comics nailed it! 1. As you note we see him camping outside of the force-field that is protecting the empire. What is good to note is that he isn't actively bashing it like the Changeling's were during the invasion of Canterlot. He is biding his time; waiting for the right moment. Not only that but when an opening does occur he doesn't just rush in. He knows well and good that Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, and the Mane 6 are unknowns to him. In his mind I feel that he doesn't take chances and, as such, would rather wait for victory than rush to failure. 2. Unlike Nightmare Moon, Chrysalis, and Tirek, Sombra took his opponents seriously. While I am sure he enjoyed doing what he did, he rarely showed it. He never laughed in the face of the heroes, nor pronounced his victory when all looked assured. Heck; when Spike had the Crystal Heart he took it upon himself to get it back, only losing by the smallest of margins. As much as I love Chrysalis, she was WAY too confident for her own good. I never noticed. If I don't understand something or Interpret it wrong, I'm dutch. Sometimes I gamble for meanings of the words. And sometimes I write the wrong words, like week and weak for example. Sorry for it already. Discord, Twilight, Sunset, Fluttershy, Starlight, Rarity, Luna, Celestia, Big MCintosh, Cadence, Shining, Minuette, Lyra, Rara, Sweetie Belle, Cheerilee, Derpy, Spike. !Feel Free To Talk And Walk Where Ever You Like On This Forum!

LunarShadow 397 March 25, 2017 Share March 25, 2017 (edited) Sombra is easily my favorite villain. I just wish Hasbro did more with him. He got a little bit of screen time and was then abruptly killed. I would have liked to see his character have more depth and development. He strikes me as a potentially interesting character so i want to know more about him as a pony. His origins, how he became a master of dark magic, and why he went bat shit insane, etc. Hell for all we know Sombra could have just been a normal unicorn pony that had been experimenting with dark magic and due to not fully understanding what he was experimenting with made a mistake and became possessed by dark magic which managed to change him physically and mentally. He could be in a situation similar to how luna was possessed by nightmare moon. Overall i just want him back because what little we saw of Sombra was underwhelming.

They're more or less canon unless the show outright contradicts them. By @Emerald Heart.↑ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
