There were many antagonists in the series, but who were in your opinion the worst? You can look at it from a writing perspective(preferably not because "they were redeemed and I hate" or something like this) or vote depending on whom you simply dislike the most. 

I made 2 polls, 1 for major villains, 1 for regular SOL antagonists. Sine there are so many antagonists I chose just the ones I see mentioned the most. If you have other suggestions you can mention them. Obviously, supporting characters are not to be included, if you choose a character that was reformed, refer to the period they were still antagonistic.

For me this pretty clear:

1. Storm King

I like the movie, but I find The Storm King lame to be honest. For pony sake Tempest was here to save the day 

The second question is harder to answer for me, but I'd go here with:

2. Sludge

I dislike Flim&Flame  much more, but I think hey work as antagonists quite well, at least more than Sludge

I’d have to say Storm King + Flim and Flam

I'd say storm king but honestly the pony of shadows was just a huge let-down. I didn't expect much from the movie, which differs from the expectation i had for the s7 finale, especially considering the intense improvement of a season that 7 was from 6, and from a villain that was rumoured to exist for so long- my expectations were up. but the execution was bland, basic and just all around invoked no emotions

Can we put the Student Six down as villains? 

As far as minor villains, I went with Flim and Flam even though I don't hate them as much as I used to.  I'm surprised everypony is saying The Storm King is the worst big bad.  I found him quite cool and his death scene was pretty epic just like the whole movie. I went with the Pony of Shadows because that's the one I remember least.

For the big bad, I'd have to say the pony of shadows, mostly cause he was incredibly underwhelming

For the minor villain, I think Garble since he feels like a generic bully with no humor to boot

I have to go with Cozy Glow.

Just out of curiosity do you mean just the Pony of Shadows himself, (cause I could see that) or does this include his whole backstory with the pony he used to be?

Just gonna leave this here instead:

Spoiler

 

But if you really have to re-learn my stance: every FIM character with a tragic past is a shit character, but not every shit FIM character has a tragic past.

As someone else who found Shadows underwhelming, I mean the former.

The latter, Stygian, I actually liked.

Just like everybody else, I really didn't enjoy Flim and Flam.

I found them painfully boring

The first. I don't hate Stygian as a character, though I feel like he was thrown away after he was freed from the darkness as from a few mentions and in the comics

Not surprised by the results of the poll, both TPOS and the storm king were kinda of let downs for me, and from what I gathered, many others. Although, TSK at least had some nice moments that put him ahead in my opinion.

Not surprised to see F&F leading the other poll, I voted for them as well, although I expected sludge to get more votes.

The Storm King was the worst main villain. He just seemed like a complete clown and it was Tempest who was in the spotlight, especially when he obtained the full power. 

Flim and Flam were just a nuisance. I wish that they got caught and actually arrested...well...Starswirl forced them to return the money for Friendship U...but to me...that wasn't enough...
