How do you feel about a 'good' Chrysalis and Sombra?

A good Sombra would practically be a male Cadance.

You do realise though that there's gonna be a good Sombra in the comics?

For Sombra, the way I saw it was that when he returned he was a more of a shade than a living being, a mere coalescence of intent and power, removing the intent would essentially kill what is left of him, It would be hard, in my opinion, to create a "good" Sombra and write a strong explanation. Chrysalis was a leader trying to do what was best for her people, so "good" Chrysalis would be as simple as working out a treaty between the Ponies and Changelings. In addition, (warning, semi-headcanon incoming) when Chrysalis and the Changelings invaded, they were starved of love. Let that sink in, then consider why feeding on hate may actually be worse. "Good" Changelings would not be parasites or slaves, they would be farmers, feeding on love, but also fostering a loving environment with the Ponies

I...I guess it could happen?

 

I mean, they did reform Discord.

 

So I suppose anything is possible if you can make the god of chaos a good guy. ^^"

Eh mostly no.

The only reason it worked with Discord was because he lacked a goal or evil intent, and therefore was malleable. He wasn't evil, he was mischievous and merely selfish. Being forced into it, its still unclear whether or not he's felt an authentic change of heartor if he's merely like a kid who wants to rebel against their parents, but unable to do so because of the consequences.

 

Maybe Chrysalis could be redeemable, but i can't picture her actually being nice to anypony. She'd have to be more like Discord, snarky and totally reluctant about it.

 

You can't redeem Sombra the way we know him. He has but one aspect to his personality, and that's being ruthlessly evil. Take that away, and you strip him of his very essence.

The only effective situation i can picture would be to give him a backstory in which he was once good and eventually corrupted by darkness. By removing the darkness they could restore the old personality.

Even then, he would cease to be Sombra any more.

There is the possibly of the whole mirror universe angle where characters alignments are switched. Discord would be a force for change in what would be Celestia's stagnant, rigid empire. Nightmare Moon would bring forth the night to shade her subjects from her sisters scorching sun. Rather than conquering Equestria to take love, Chrysalis and the changelings would try to instill the seeds of compassion, and cultivate love and adoration in it's citizens so her subjects have a more peaceful place to reside and coexist. And finally Sombra would remind the crystal ponies of their self worth and cultural pride in the wake of Mi Amore Cadenza's empire run on lust and infatuation.

 

Did I just give myself ideas for a fanfic...

Funny that you say reflections. My fanfic about changelings is named "A Changeling's soul Reflection". Personally i prefer good QC over Good KS.

I'm tempted to say that they should have the good versions of Chrysalis and Sombra stay in the main dimension, and somehow banish the evil versions of them to the other dimension, but then the other dimension would have no hopes of ever recovering. It would be like taking the princesses and the mane 6 away from their dimension. And the main dimension's Chrysalis and Sombra are unredeemable, but I'll see how things go.
