Is Sunset Shimmer the Worst Major Villain?

[Winona the Dog 1,984]

To be honest; I like Sunset a lot better as a unicorn. It came downhill as the plot built up to her final confrontation.

 

I will admit her demon transformation was epic, but her plan to take over Equestria was a bit dumbfounded. I think she's worse then Sombra really.

I just want her hair. 

Sombra was actually a really clever planner if you look at what he did BEFORE that twilight had to deal with. during his actual screentime, he just kept chipping away at the force field, (which must have taken some stamina) and then trapped twilight and tried to get spike. still, he would have been much better as a villain if he had had as much charisma as Discord. (although, in Celestia shipping, I prefer CelestiaxSombra over CelestiaxDiscord. Discord is just better single.

My basic problem with Sunset Shimmer is her resolution.  She attempts to enslave all of Equestria and then suddenly turns into just wanting to have friends.  Her punishment was also stupid. "You blew up half of the school, attempted to frame another student for trashing the prom, posted a video of that student in attempt to ridicule her, kidnapped a puppy, and stole a kingdom's greatest power source.  So we're just gonna make you rebuild that wall ok?"

 

I love the fact that you start off that list with enslavement and move on to wrecking the prom...

 

Anyway, Shimmer sucked. Her design as a pony was pretty kickass though, so it's unfortunate.

[Twila Starshimmer 172]

The movie seemed to be under the impression that Sunset's problem was that she didn't know how to make friends. I must be really bad at reading characters, because I thought her problem was that she was a power-hungry wannabe dictator.

 

It's not so much that she was an inherently weak villain, because she actually has a really interesting backstory, what with being Celestia's former personal student, as well as possibly being considered for princesshood. But the movie expanded on none of that.

I agree with Citrus King46^^

[FNGRpony 658]

Sombras Lines is not only what he did. He is an actions speak louder than words villain. He defeated Shining Armor and attacked the Mane six. Lurked Around the shield Cadence made so she would pass out. Filled his Castle with traps That Twilight couldnt have figured if it wasnt for Celestia and Spike and thats only because Spike got theur late, if he was next to her when she opened the door using dark magic Sombra would have won. and He activated the last Trap by himself Eliminating Twilight making her useless. When Spike Jumped out of the tower Sombra attacked him without waiting a Second. And the only reason he lost was because Shining used the god tier wife throwing atack which would Kill Chuck Norris. So Him losing was a Fluke while Sunset Losing was her being weak.

 

Sorry friend no ones buying it.  The only reason sombre is remotely good, is how much work fans have put into sombre

Sunset shimmer gets a pass like i give everyone a pass in Equestrian girls simply because she's in a crappy movie where everyone is bad.

 

How do we know Lord fancy hat set those traps?  tommy oliver suggestion one of those traps may have been what turned sombre evil in the first place.

Sunset Shimmer is one of the better villains, an unpopular opinion. My order of villains is:

1. Sombra

2. Sunset Shimmer

3. Chrysalis

4. Discord

5. Nightmare Moon. 

I liked Sunset's back-story and the fact that she had to rely on skill rather than brute strength like all the other villains was refreshing. Now, to counter the points in the first post.

 

1. Sunset is more powerful than Discord. Notice how when Discord gets hit with the Elements, everything he's done is instantly fixed. When Sunset gets hit, what she had corrupted required a separate shot. Add to the fact that Sunset can hand out power ups and that the entire school (including Human Celestia and Luna) will be ponies and Sunset's plan is pretty solid. Also, Sunset can just mind-control ponies as she goes through.

2. It was a homage to Nightmare Moon

3. In human form, Sunset was far and beyond the most intelligent villain and in demon mode, she was very powerful

4. Her redemption was vastly more powerful than Luna's since we see signs that Sunset isn't all that bad before hand. Remember how she said "I'm not a monster" and actually let Spike go? Sunset wasn't trying to be evil and the crown hurt her(notice she's crying while transforming". Much better than Luna, who barely had any back-story other than "I got jealous, commit genocide".

Sunset's demon form also reminded me of Shonen, what with looking like a Sailor Moon villain crossed with a Super Saiyan. Sunset also spent no time screwing around, once she had the power to kill Twilight, she tried.

1) Discord was defeated by ALL 6 THE ELEMENTS of Harmony, Sunset was defeated with a deus ex machina thing that is one of the most asspulling manner ever. And NO, her plan is full of flaws. First she didn't turn right away her army in succubus thing like Snips and Snail, second she dosen't seem able to control her amy at all, third, such army will meet even worst problems of Twilight once they get on the other side so even if (and is a huge if) Celestia and Luna (Wich by the way i don't remember them being hyptnotized at all) will have even more problem to face down much more expert magic user. If she wanted to turn them into ponies and then attack the human world it would have made sense, but she is planning to attack an entire world where the popolation have the same power and much more experience. Then when she will cross the portal the crown will stop working for her and become useless. And even if it still could work one element is not gonna do crap on Discord, just like when Twilight tried the first time, and i don't think that the elements will work with one who is not the original wielder of the elements;

2) It was a lame copy of Luna Defeat, showing how little they cared about giving us something original;

3) Is not that she is smart, or else she could have stolen once again the crown or have found more smart ways to get what she want. The only reason that her plan works is just because everyone in the damn movie is a damn idiot. Her plan to frame Twilight by destroying the gym was stupid and it would have caused her plan to fail if it wasn't for Twilight to fix the gym;

4) Her redemption show just of how rush the writer took in the movie. For all the movie we are supposed to consider Sunset nothing but a bully who wants to get more power and only when she is defeated (Wich is also one big rushed thing). Luna became Nightmare Moon because she felt lonely and unprecciated and left the dark side took over her, but behind all that evil emotion there was actually one sad alicorn who wanted to feel accepted and loved.

1. Sunset Shimmer got defeated by all 6 Elements as well. You know, it could just be that she would transform the army after they entered the portal. She can control her army just fine, she told them to stay, they stayed. Celestia and Luna would get hypnotized since Sunset says "round them up". As for skill, skill rarely plays a role in MLP fights. It's more of a "I'm more powerful, you lose" sort of thing as seen with Chrysalis. As for the Equestria being dangerous, not only are they humongous cowards, she can just mind-control as she goes through towns. As for the Elements not hurting Discord, feats are better than your word. Sunset's corruption required individual shots to crush while Discord's didn't. Sunset is stronger than Discord. 

 

2. Discord was also a lame copy of the Luna defeat in your opinion

 

3. What else could she have done? She doesn't know where the crown is and doesn't have the resources to steal it and destroying the gym was Snips and Snails's idea, not hers.

 

4. No we, weren't. Notice how Sunset she's not a monster and lets Spike go, those are pretty big hints that she's not as bad as she seems. Luna threw a tantrum because ponies slept. It's humongous misconception that Luna wanted more attention, the episode states that Luna was upset that "ponies slept in her night". Apparently a natural bodily function is unacceptable to Luna.

1)No, it was only one, and it was one big asspull deus ex way to do so. And no, she told Snips and Snail to gather them up, why would she told them so if she could control them by mind? And if feats are better than words Discord was turning the entire world upside down, rising sun and moon with a snaps of a finger and doing all kind of crazy thing, and when the elements defeated him they created one HUGE bubble that fixed all the problems that he did, wich are far more than Sunset could ever hope to do. Feats above words right? And you're making up things. If you ever readed the comics the entire town of ponyville was ready to fight against Nightmare Rarity, even it meant to be destroyed;

2) No, it was more than that. At least Discord tried to do something, but Twilight saved her friends with the shield;

3) Oh, but wasn't she the most smartest of the villains? And no, it was her idea to do so, not them, and again, if she can't control two idiots, she is not that much;

4) She is not a monster, she is just a bully, like Diamond Tiara. And is also an idiot by not threatning Spike. She was threatning to break the portal (That's also dumb but is another point) so that Twilight should be forced to make a choice.

1. I saw 6 Elements, maybe you need to rewatch the movie. The way they got there was an ass pull but other than that, it was fine. She told Snips and Snails to gather them up because she's a villain, they tend to be lazy bums. Discord had more feats but Sunset Shimmer's best feat was above his best feat. As for the Elements healing Discord's corruption, no, they just owned Discord and that was it, the huge bubble was an effect the Elements always have to look cool. The comics are non-canon but even if they were canon, Sunset can just mind-control them. 

 

2. Sunset at least tried to nuke Twilight and her friends instead of playing games

 

3. She said this "I didn't expect you idiots to go so far". Underestimating Snips and Snails stupidity is not a huge problem.

 

4. She thinks she's a good guy, that's why she let Spike go, not out of foolishness. As for the portal, she could just break the frame, crumbling the statue.

 

 

1. Discord = 9/10

2. King Sombra = 8/10

3. Nightmare Moon & Queen Chrysalis = 7-8/10

4. The Alicorn Amulet = 6-7/10

5. Sunset Shimmer = 5-6/10

 

That's pretty much how I see them.

 

P.S.: I did, however, like Sunset Shimmer's designs (unicorn, human, and demon), voice, and comic (Kind of a Tear Jerker, imo.).

 

1. Sombra=8/10

2. Sunset Shimmer=7/10

3. Queen Chrysalis=6.5/10

4. Alicorn Amulet=5/10

5. Discord=4/10

6. Nightmare Moon=1/10

 

IMO. I like Sunset and Sombra for being smart, having a good design, and not being brutes who just say "I'm more powerful, your argument is invalid". I like Chrysalis for her song and design but her intelligence left a lot to be desired. I liked the Alicorn Amulet for its aura but the fact that Trixie wore it annoyed me. Discord was a moron with way too much power and was just a child stomping ants, not threatening. Nightmare Moon is a cliched villain with a pathetic backstory

1) What exactly has Sunset done that is above of what Discord did? She wrecked a piece of the school and turned the students into zombies. And Discord can do the same and turn the most harmelss of the creatures into a violent being. All that with a snap of a finger. If for you wrecking a school is above causing havok in all of ponyville, then you are a bigger Sunset Shimmer fanboy that i thought;

2) And that worked out well;

3) She was talking about how much destruction Snips and Snail caused into the gym. It was Sunset plan, not theirs. Of course if i was in her i will complain of how they got rid of the proofs, even if the character where smart Luna should have understood right away that those picture were glued up;

4) Im not gonna talk about the portal (that would deserve a topic aside). And im not sure that you know, but most of the villains thinks to be the hero. And cause she was bluffing, i don't see what it should have made of her a monster.

How about the fact that hes the only villain to lose due to a fluke?

also the traps are connected to him as seen here:

1. It's not wrecking the school that's a feat, it's the fact that her magic required its own shot to decorrupt. 

 

2. Better than Discord making a derp face, Nightmare Moon just standing there, and Queen Chrysalis saying "take your best shot"

 

3. Underestimating Snips and Snails stupidity is something even a rocket scientist could have done.

 

4. Nope, Discord knows well he's a villain, Nightmare Moon thinks she's justified but not the hero, and Queen Chrysalis was a sadist.

1) And how is that really superior of all the mess Discord did? From one part you have one school of hypnotized people, in another an AN ENTIRE TOWN turn upside down, and Discord was just getting started;

2) She hit Twilight, but once the elements of the asspull come togheter she just stand there, watching the Twilight and HuMane 5 trasformation without doing nothing at all. It's funny that the only thing she had to do with Twilight was push her away or tied her up, i mean, why was that necessary?

3) Nope, is something that even a normal people would understand. And, again, was Sunset plan, not of the idiotic duo.

4) I think that Discord dosen't think to be a villain. He is more for chaos, but that is kinda deep thing to talk. Chrysalis wanted to take over Equestria (OF COURSE!) but i think that she is seen like a hero for the changeling because she wanted feed them. On NightMare i think that doing what is right is feeling like a hero.

But i wans't actually talking about MLP villains, but more about other. Following your point Syndrom of the Incredibles is not totally evil just because he leave Bob family alive, when he has already killed MOST of Bobs friends.

And the fact that Sunset say that she is not a monster when she suddenly turn into one... well, is kinda weird to me.

1. Sunset took the Elements better than Discord did, that alone puts her above him. 

 

2. She was getting her power sapped as they transformed, she couldn't do anything. As for before, I already explained, she doesn't want to hurt physically until she became a monster. 

 

3. Okay, you're right

 

4. Discord is debatable, Chrysalis was a sadist for no reason, and Nightmare Moon is debatable. That's not the same thing with the Syndrome example, the worst Sunset had done was black-mail and spread rumors up to that point. Funny you should mention the irony because

1) Sunset lost her powers, Discord was turned to stone, and that because the elements cannot really destroy him. But i guess that we have our own opinions, so we can end this debate.

Of course you should agree with me that the climax was to much fast. She goes to "Im not a monster" to "ahahahahah im gonna rule Equestria and kill you all!" to "Buhhuughuhhuuhhuhuh, im just so lonely and i don't know how to make friends" is rushed. They could have done it much better. I consider Sunset the worst villain not because she sucks, but of how much more she could have done if the movie settings weren't highschool stuff. Sunset is a shadow of what she could have been.

Lets us all just agree that No Matter how many negatives Sunset Shimmer had. At least she was not doing what she did because of a childhood crush. *Glares at Obito*

 

Agreed, especially she is not doing it because Twilight was flirting with that Flash Sentry   !

[Hive King 2,001]

 

Agreed, especially she is not doing it because Twilight was flirting with that Flash Sentry   !

She might have been, Flash was her ex after all. An even worse motivation is that of Buu, which is basically "SUGAR HIGH! KILL!"

[*Rarity 123]

I haven't seen the movie, and I won't see it in a looong long time, even if I know what happens in it and all...

She's one of the best villains! Why? Because she has style... I just like her looks, that's all. I'm not much of a villain-fan overall, never really grasped why people are so into Discord and all. I guess, I can somewhat understand it, but I can't relate to it, I mean, I've never gotten that interested in a vilain. Sunset Shimmer just looks good, period.

I was really excited about Sunset Shimmer's backstory and potential at the beginning of the film, but once you find out the writers aren't going to give us anything good with it, it was a little disappointing. She had so much potential but imo she's my least favourite.

No. In my opinion NIghtmare Moon was the worst major villain. She barely did ANYTHING to the ponies and she was easily defeated
