Lightning Dust needs more love
12 years ago
An underrated MLP FIM is widely hated. Yet that hatred towards her makes no sense.
"But she was mean!"
Oh yeah, like Trixie, Gilda, and the Flim Flam brothers weren't, yet people like them more than her.
"But she tried to kill RD's friends!"
No she didn't. She didn't even know that they were coming, so condemning her for the attempt of murder makes no sense at all. She just wanted to impress Spitfire to let her into the Wonderbolts. Watch the episode again.
"She is a total Showoff!"
RD is a Showoff too. Rarity is a Showoff. Trixie is a Showoff. Gilda is a Showoff. Being a Showoff is natural. I am a Showoff. Problem?
Dusty needs your love, everypony. Give her some. She is crying in the dark, with nopony on her side.

Well, there is one OC of mine I pair with her. I just hoped that the great artist Kloudmutt wasn't really busy. He's really good with anthro ponies.
The other characters are liked because they have distinct personalities.
Drelshik also doesn't understand the hatred towards King Sombra...
"Oh you don't know anything about him"
You don't know anything about Discords or Chrysalis' past either... And yet you fucking LOVE them.
"He didn't get much screen time"
And that's a problem why? After all, unlike the other episodes, THIS particular episode did not focus on the villain, but instead focused more on the Crystal Empire and Twilight's task. The REAL queen chrysalis didn't get that much screen time either.
"GRAA CRUSTALSLAVES!!GRAA.... He didn't say anything.."
As far as I am concerned "crystal" and "slaves" are TWO words... If you listen closely he DOES say "ahhhh my glorious little slaves" and "no that is MINE!" Sombra also has a pretty bad ass voice! The voice actor did well.
"He didn't DO anything"
Just because he failed at his mission to control all didn't mean he didn't DO anything. He still made ALL the ponies shit themselves in fear. King Sombra was more like a terrorist and a dictator than an actual villain that attacks directly. ..... Well, actually he DID attack directly. King Sombra is a Unicorn. Not an Alicorn. For him to have such dark powers beyond any ponies wildest dreams and the ambition and madness of a pony Hitler, I would have to say he was a pretty bad ass villain
I love King Sombra as a character. He did not disappoint me.
And I agree XD Drelshik rambled a little there and went off topic. But bronies can sometimes be HUGE hypocrites and choose to love some and not others.
I love picturing Sombra as a powerful villain whose strength dwarfs that of the other three.
That he is!
King Sombra could have done a SHIT load of damage if given the opportunity! If he got a hold of the Crystal Heart, fear and hated would spread throughout the entire LAND!
Nothing against the other villains.. But Nightmare moon did her part out of jealousy. She didn't want to harm anyone she just wanted to be loved, the only way she thought of doing this was removing the sun from the sky because she felt as though the ponies only loved her sister. so that the ponies would have no CHOICE but to reckon with only her, filling the gap in her heart. She was defeated by the elements of harmony because her heart was too dark to seek truth.
Discord took over PonyVille. Ok. But what about the rest of Equestria? He just wanted to laugh at everyone's pain. It's not that he cause anyone physical harm either, he just found joy in fuckin with some things about their way of life. It was probably more annoying than harmful to all but the main characters. He too was defeated by the elements of harmony because he was too cocky to realize that the powers of friendship were strong. It defeated him and he just sat there because he didn't believe it would work.
Queen Chrysalis attacked Canterlot... Ok? So you attack the only place that has a high class security system? I understand her intentions were to probably get to Celestia because, of course, she dwells in Canterlot. not only that, but her intentions were also feeding her fellow changelings. if she were to bring down Celestia, she would have power over Canterlot.. And THEN all of Equestria!.... That is assuming there wasn't anyone more powerful than even Celestia to bring her down. To be honest HER plan would have worked perfectly if it wasn't for Cadence and Shining Armors love for eachother. She was defeated again because she thought she already won. She too was too arrogant to realize something was going on Right behind her.
King Sombra, on the other hand, took two Alicorns to defeat him in the past. But his lust for power over the entire land of Equestria allowed him to prevail and seek out the Empire once more. He clearly wanted power, he clearly WANTED ponies to suffer both physical and mental torment. He wasn't playing games, he wasn't jealous, he didn't have anyone else to care for... He clearly was evil for the sake of being evil. Which makes him an awesome villain! For some people even are bad just because they are. Notice how King Sombra did what he could to prevent ponies from seeking out the crystal heart. Notice how he is the ONLY villain who was defeated not because of his ignorance or arrogance or because he felt bad. He wasn't defeated because he had his head up his ass
Gilda, I'm not a fan of her, but I hope she does return to get revenge or learn her lesson, or get pranked some more, something~
The Flim Flam brothers had an awesome song, all is forgiven for a catchy as hell song!
I don't hate LD, in fact I hope that now that Twilight has wings we'll see more pegasus locations and she'll be back~!
I hope so too.
Though their song was good, I still don't like them for trying to kick the apple family out of their home.
