Description

The show had quite a few major villains during it’s run time, here are the main villains from the series(I decided to include the sirens since they are so popular, and the windigoes too). Which villain was your favorite and which one was in your opinion the most competent one? Mine favorite was Sombra, and the most competent one I think was Tirek(starlight if not for her mental instability would have been my pick, as a villain she was very effective).

But don’t you see how Stygian peaks out of the Pony of Shadows’ chest? Stygian is a host to the Pony of Shadows.

He’s already here. But Stygian isn’t because The Pony of Shadows was like a ripoff between the Symbiotes from Marvel including Venom and Carnage and Stygian is like a ripoff between the Symbiotes’ hosts including Eddie Brock, Harry Osborn, and Flash Thompson.

They could touch more on her if they brought her back somehow.  
Not as a copy/clone or some alternate timeline/dimension version, but like say she still exists within Luna(like no matter how hard Harmony tries to remove her, NMM will forever be part of Luna whenever anyone likes it or not).  
And pretty much down the line more and more gets touched on about those dark powers and Luna having to deal with her darker split personality many times.

They probably could have done a lot more with her if she was the season 1 finale villain instead of the season 1 premiere villain. After all, in the pilot there was way more focus on introducing the mane six than giving Nightmare Moon much of a presence.

I wished they did more with Nightmare Moon there.  
Just felt like there could have been much more with Luna’s darker self due to she was the first villain and the show kicked off with her story.

Grogar was a villain, and played a big part in creating equestria, it was a nod to G1 fans and he actually had a cool design, so while I understand the disappointment that he turned out be discord in disguise, I was a bit disappointed from it as well, I think what they ended up doing was great.

If they didn’t want Grogar to be the villain they should never have brought him back.

Maybe, I would have liked to see grogar’s full potential however the show stuff never intended for grogar to be the last villain, they built the season with the trio in my mind, not grogar(if they wanted grogar to play a big part they should have started giving him more screen time in frenemies already).
 
For what its worth, I loved the final product.
