Er…Sprout literally built a giant wooden killer horse in an attempt to preemptively attack the other races. He started off as an antagonist but after the Mob song, he went full villain by turning the Canterlogic factory into a war machine.

You know, like villains do when they go around attacking heroes?

Posey and Misty are antagonists; Opaline and Sprout are villains

@Background Pony #6EFA
Sprout is the definition of an antag. Its arguable if he was a villian but he by definition is an antag in ANG

@Background Pony #D4F1
Ok. I only said the opinion and answered to Myoozik

@Background Pony #6EFA
Alright, I think we get it by now

@Mr.Myoozik
Sprout isn’t evil! He never was!

@Mr.Myoozik
Agree!

Sprout? The antagonist? I don’t think so. He isn’t evil and he never was! He only did one mistake when he get crazy and he went crazy because of how they were taught, his mom and also Hitch didn’t cared about him.
Sprout is more like a victim. He’s not the antagonist/villain.
He was never a villain! More like, he’s a victim now

@Background Pony #403A
Sprout isn’t a villain! He never was! He didn’t do any evil stuffs! He only went crazy because of others

@Background Pony #BFE4
Sprout isn’t evil! LOL

Ponut, ponut, ponut, bean.

@Background Pony #04A8
More of an antagonist

Is Karen Fluttershy really considered a villain?

@Vinylshadow
a boy and three girls [sprout], an alicorn and regular ponies [opaline], three grumpy ones and one is kind [misty], canonical villains of the movie/series and an antagonist pony [posie]

kinda how i see it

I like how “one of these things is not like the others” applies to all of them in some way, shape, or form

@Background Pony #D7B3
Yeah, but looks like a griffon to me. Or a hippogriff.

@LoreJuniper
This. Chancellor Neighsay was an antagonist, but he wasn’t evil. Neither was Moondancer, Feather Bangs, or Zesty Gourmand.

@Starless
Yep! For anyone wondering:
An antagonist is anyone that opposes the protagonists / their goals.
A villian is an evil antagonist
You can have a villian protagonist and a hero antagonist (think death note)

@Background Pony #D95A
They all don’t belong in their own way.

The villains wiki also says antagonist ≠ villain.

@Jaredking779
Did you not watch ch 1? Posey is what caused the black hole thingie. Yeah its more of an accident on her part, she was just being racist. Shes not really a villian but she was an antagonist.

@LoreJuniper
Who? Misty? Or Posey? ‘Cause according to the villains wiki, Posey isn’t an antagonist like Misty and Opaline are, and so was Sprout in the film.

@Jaredking779
well i mean her shenanigans is what caused the super hell black hole so technically she is

@Background Pony #D95A
Really doesn’t make a difference whether Posey or Misty doesn’t belong. While Misty is most likely an antagonist, Posey is not confirmed as an antagonist. At least from what I’ve heard.

@Jaredking779
I thought the one who doesn’t belong is Misty, because in this crew she’s the only one frowning among the prideful ponies.

Poor misty

The antagonists of G5 (so far). And apart from Opaline, all of them are just regular ponies and not powerful dark lords like most of the G4 villains.
