How would you rate the awesomeness of Tempest Shadow?

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

0/10 

She’s just another one of those overrated characters that I get fed up of hearing about. Luna, Celestia, and Spitfire are among them too.

I would give Tempest Shadow an awesomeness rating of 8/10.

I think that she's an absolute legend, but she definitely loses points for the name, which she picked out for herself no less. It's too "edgy 13 year-old" for my tastes.

You're wrong!

5/5 on the awesomeness scale in my opinion. She is intimidating, badass, and Emily Blunt was the best choice for her voice. She reminds me a lot of my OC.

[Derpy Pon-3 5,649]

8.5/10

she’s an awesome Character with the perfect voice actor for her appearance and mindset, but because she’s only been in one movie and nothing else I feel like she hasn’t had enough character development for a perfect score.

7/10 - she is an amazing and unique character, but she isn't the best in my opinion.

10/10! She’s gorgeous, intimidating, and her design is sooo cool! Emily Blunt did so good with her voice, it really fit her well!

I think if they'd focused more on her redemption, and eventually acceptance of herself, she'd have been even better. As it were, she was a good character, flawed, dark, but well explained (more or less). I liked how dark it go, that she had physical and emotional scars, and this in turn resulted in the up-ending of Equestria. I was glad to see her appearance in The Last Problem, but would have been happier had she been speaking at all.

Designwise, from an aesthetic point, she's as colorful as a pony is expected to be while being as dark as the character's background suggests.

 

Yeah, I like her.

I think it would be hard to bring something new to the table there. We have already had the redemption arcs of Starlight and Sunset (and to a lesser extent, Discord). While it would be great for her own character development of course, we really didn't get to see her at all in FiM - a brief shot in the finale, and that's about it.

You're right, she might have done well in a spin-off for herself though. Since she parted ways to journey and all that, there was a foundation already set up. The comics did take advantage briefly.

Comics DO seem to be working on that though. Plus this frown is Dashie-level epic

Yup, epic frown, and leather suit. Scar across eye, busted horn. Hallmark badass surrounded by happy frilly girly ponies!

[Savygriffs 5,022]

8/10 - She's super cool, stylish, and epic! She's not the absolute best character imo tho.

10 out of 10, I have my reasons.
