Who's more badass, King Sombra or Tirek?

Tirek and Sombra are both incredible villians, however, I felt King Sombra was more badass due to his voice. 

 

Its funny, that MLP in the 80's seemed to have darker villians.............or is it just me?

No, it is not just you I have watched a lot of 80's cartoons and noticed this so the fact that an 80's cartoon has dark villains did not surprise me at all but the fact that it was My Little Pony of all cartoons sure as hell did. I couldn't believe it, I said "holy shit did he just threaten to decapitate Spike?" King Sombra has the potential to be just as badass as the likes of Tirek and Grogar but he fell a bit short due to flaws in characterization. King Sombras voice sounds awesome and he is extremely intelligent which in addition to his magical ability made him very dangerous so he has the makings of a good villain but Sombra is kind of like taking a roast out the oven before it is done. It smells good and given more time might be a tasty meal but isn't really ready yet.

Have you ever thought that maybe Sombra is a mute? Like Nemesis? Its not that hard to believe as he spended 1000 years in an Ice prison

Or maybe it's because McCarthy just wanted him to say brief "commands" like the Eye Of Sauron?

Tirek, because his potential wasn't wasted.

the difference is Sauron had a hell of a lot more build up then Sombra did. If Sombra was a looming presense and had an army as well as memorable servants and was built up over a season as the mother of all baddies then he would of been a lot cooler. As he is he was a puff of bad smoke that SPIKE defeated.

Appearence wise, I think King Sombra looks more badass, but Tirek had FAR more power, and was generally more evil seeming, not to mention, much more character development.


Would you like to play with me? I'd like to play with you, forever, and ever, and ever! No... no you can't have it! It's mine! Stay back!

Is this seriously not a troll thread? I mean Tirek is obviously superior. Though I DO think  King Sombra should come back and get more development. He had SO MUCH potential...

Most of you are saying Tirek because his potential wasn't wasted. That's not the question ;)

 

"Who's more badass?" I say Sombra. Just because his potential was wasted, doesn't mean he isn't badass. He has a great design and probably the darkest intentions of them all, even more than tirek. Except, on a smaller scale.

Tirek, easily. While King Sombra was truly evil (as far as we know), Tirek was able to manipulate Discord into thinking he was an ally, while Sombra used brute force/evil spells instead of tricking anyone. Tirek was also better developed. We just don't have enough information--or dialogue--on Sombra's part.

Sombra like a boss. He sealed two Princess Celestia's in a magical shell while he jacked the Elements of Harmony from their users (while they were using them) and used it to repair a rip in space time. THEN, he absorbed all the dark magic from other world Celestia and Luna, sacrificing himself to save both worlds.
Or are we talking about "Crystals"? cause "Crystals" sucks.
