Some Anons requested that I storytime this again since the first thread was blown through in under a day, so for those of you who asked and others who potentially missed discussing it in the first thread it here you go.

>>25796731
The thing is, the first stories of all the writers were actually pretty good.

It's once they got too comfortable and too sure about their continued involvement they went full fanfiction tier, warping the show's style, characters and worldbuilding to serve their own fantasies.

For every comic arc/issue I have a general test: if I can imagine the show's characters' voices as I read the issue, it's usually good.
In the past year, there's been very little of that.
>>
>Mirror Alicorn siblings turn good, Mirror sombra turns evil.

>Sombra turns good, ?????
>>
>>25796759
Discord turned good in Equestria too along with Trixie it seems. That mirror world is pretty much fucked unless Tirek, Flim/Flam, and Chrysalis are able to handle things by themselves there.
>>
>>25796783
Thing about harmony, it isn't a force of good. its a balance of all things just given a fancy name. you say Mirror equestrian is fucked but whats going to happen to the regular one when harmony gazes at the imbalance?
>>
I don't think that was a good story.
>>
>>25796509
Fuck you for reminding me of a terrible comic.
>>
That was pretty boring. As bad as the show's two parters in "jesus these losers have no idea of how to tell a story and keep character interaction fun". What a fucking sham.

Why don't they just drop those books and start doing just Friends Forever? Those are the only ones that remotely feel like the show.
>>
>>25797016
Or do small slice of life arcs like >>25796537 mixed in with one shots like >>25796542 for the main series instead of large arcs that they clearly can't handle like this.
>>
>>25797016
>>25797020
Because shit sells, and despite how poorly they sell compared to the big 2, it's a large profit for IDW. FF and FiM combined makes for quite the comicbux, so they can't cancel one or the other and rely on familiarity to sell, as well as covers.

Jeremy's Sombra stuff was retarded, but I found Luna/Discord and Rarity/Babs (only other ones he did I remember) fun. Though I feel that for most other writers too, every time the try to do plot it ends up ass.

I didn't even think the arc was that bad, but when a writer defends his work by saying "you're not allowed to say bad things" and "shut up, it's for kids," I lose a little respect for them.
>>
>>25797572

To be fair that seems to be Meghan's style for writing the show nowadays, he's just sticking to the in-house style : )
>>
>>25797602

But the arc WAS that bad. You're insane if you think this was anything short of awful. Half of the characters involved disappear mid-way, there's more people standing talking about the plot than any actual adventure, character motivation is focused on Hope on Sombra two fucks we have no reason to care about.

It was genuinely awful. Doesn't change the fact that yelling at the guy on Twitter will just make it worse for everyone, it'll just make him take fans even less seriously.
>>
>>25797622
I've seen far worse from these comics. I'm just happy if the characters are at least mostly in character, even if I think the plot progression is as retarded as a bad fanfiction. But I agree that engaging the writers and creating bad blood helps no one.
>>
>>25797602
But the arc was that bad right at the end. It was utter shit. And then falling back on the "its for kids" argument is the worst excuse anyone can use. Because adults end up buying it and I'll be willing to bet are the vast majority of readers. I mean what kid is buying these themselves and reading them? Not only that but if they have the wear with all go do that, they're probably smart enough to see that this is shit
>>
>>25797641
Here is an autistic idea to see how well Whitley will take actual criticism.
Someone get on patreon, pay Linkara 40 bucks to do a review of the entire arc and send him also the way Whitley reacts to it.

There should be some laughs to get out of the entire thing reaching autism overdrive.
>>
>>25797633
but telling him that he sucks and he should improve because it's his job to do it is not a bad thing.

It would be worse if people lie about it.
>>
>>25797641

The kind of adults that buy those comics are the exact kind of brainless bronies that defends Season 3 and onwards. Trust me they won't notice it's bad.
>>
>>25797673
>muh faust

S4 and S5 have been pretty good overall. The comics however have just been getting worse and worse. Amending Fences is something I'd expect first year IDW MLP to do, not the show itself.
>>
>>25797734

Faust has nothing to do with anything on script quality, but a mongoloid like you who seriously swallows garbage like Amending Fences and praises it cannot be expected to understand animation production cycles.

Rob Renzetti was the real loss there, script quality went downhill as soon as he left and it shows the level of the material when all the fans left are biased little shitters like you.

You're not a hero if you put out a fire you started with the intended purpose of it fucking over someone, you're still a asshole.

Let's not forget that he:
1.Enslaved the ponies over 1000 years
2. Banished the entire fucking kingdom for a 1000 years
3.Is a general asshole
4. Had zero fucking qualms about what he was doing if it wasn't for one other pony
5. Released a massive fucking evil that would have devoured all of equestria.

Apparently equestria has absolutely no fucking concept of justice or such a skewed view of it that only a insane person could justify it. Those fucking bulls from that one awful comic were punished harder than a guy who nearly destroyed the entire world.

This is like throwing a child into a burning building, then deciding you want to keep the child so you go and rescue it. You're not a hero, and any sane man/women/shithead with a functioning brain cell would recognize that.

>>25798785
he had his reason:

>no more crystal empire
no more wild child like sombra being torured
>enslaved the cryastal ponies
In order to free his own people and hide the weapon that harm him so much. Plus dark magic side effect bitch,

>general asshole
We couldn't see him like an asshole, yes there is anger and fury, but there is also passion and love.
He didn't use hope.

>Had zero fucking qualms about what he was doing if it wasn't for one other pony
He knows what he was doing, he believe in it(until ofcourse hope tells him that she is not a princess and see again his mirror image in the crystal hearth).

> Released a massive fucking evil that would have devoured all of equestria.
but he stop it at the end!, jesus christ did you not read the comic?.
Dark magic, the anger, the taunt, hurting the one you love and a door that leads to a prison of monster, ALL THAT IN ONE PLACE IT CAN ONLY LEAD TO DISASTER.

Justice? what justice was when mi amore tortured him? or when the princess shoot him laser whitout a fair trail?.

While Glimmer had more potential, at the end of the day the only ponies affected were Glimmer and Twilight.

Sombra enslaved an nation, stoned a pony, and locked away a nation for a thousand years. Before he woke up and did it again. And none of that just poofed when he decided to be a good guy. Sombra did worse.

Who?
>>
>>25799025
Glimmer was not aflicted by dark magic at all.
She didn't defeat all the princesses, She was just a trouble maker.


Sombra did much better in my opinion. At least he have standars.
>>
All out of hate for this comic, used it up in the first thread. But now that this is a thing in the comicverse and Sombra is too big a character to just outright ignore, how long do you think before he and Hope show up again?
>>
Who is the real villain here?

Sombra or Hope?
>>
>>25799084
the next issue reveal will be about sombra and Hope scouring the globe making frineds everywhere and everyone likes them as they find what is the corpse of one of Sombras victims, as they plan to attempt necromancy when they have enough pieces.
>>
>>25799025
This. At the end of the day because of timeline fuckery, Glimmer did nothing wrong. She basically played with a bunch of simulations and learned from those.

>>25799044
To be fair he didn't do all that much but be a foil to Twi.

Hope. There is no one alive that actually gave a shit about Sombras sob story, and the stuff that made Sombra a "hero" was caused by himself.
>>
>>25798896
>muh torture

He got really sick one day a year. The thousands of ponies he enslaved suffered every single solitary day under his rule, Sombra is not a victim.

>Only enslaved them to free his own people + dark magic side effect
Dark Magic possession is excusable, it's why Luna / Trixie / Rarity could be forgiven so quickly. But there was never any confirmation that what Sombra was feeling was truly possession like what those ponies experienced, not even Hope thought he was acting out of character. And even if he was, the numerous crimes he did far far outstrip anything any other possessed character has done, even if it was unintentional.

>Passion and Love
Does not change the fact that that 'anger and fury' existed, and in much more vast quantities. To quote Sokka, 'Good inside him isn't enough! Let me know when there's some good outside him too.'

>But he stopped it at the end
Fixing your own mess doesn't change the fact you made that mess in the first place, there's such a thing as personal accountability. Doing one good deed at the 11th hour doesn't undo millenia of suffering. Nothing Sombra ever experienced before turning amounted to even a fraction of the damage he caused.

>Muh Amore torture
We don't know WHY Amore never told him or even how long she knew, he froze her before she could answer any of his questions like a tantrum-throwing child.

>Muh fair trial
Again, we know nothing about how that encounter went down, only that it ended, but do you really think Celestia and Luna would banish him if they had literally ANY other alternative?

Trials are usually used to determine if you're guilty. I'm pretty sure Sombra made that clear as day when he put himself on a throne that wasn't his.

He tortured thousands of ponies, and got banished for a thousand years for it. That's fair and just.

She answer his questions, but she also said that the did not regret her decision and the crystal hearth will not be removed.
She was a dumb bitch.

So there isn't another way? is that it?. They couldn't just talk or see if he change his mind?. No dialogue at all?.

For those of you who dislike this comic and arc. How would you fix it while maintaining the same base story concept, Hope, and the Umbram?
>>
>>25799173
Sombra didn't control other ponies becouse "a friend left him". His reason was so much deeper than that.


Also glimmer future is to be a plebian. Even flim flam got their own.
>>
>>25799317
>choose one
Don't have to: being a 'victim' means you are the most grieved party in a situation, IE that would be the Crystal Ponies, not Sombra. Say you have a robber who only robs because he was fired from his job unjustly and needs to steal to feed his family, and successfully takes everything an innocent man has. Obviously, even though something bad happened to the robber, he is NOT the victim in this scenario, the innocent man he robbed is.

>And you think sombra couldn't be forgiven too?
Did you not read the rest of that point? I think Sombra could be forgiven but not as quickly as those three because A) There was no strong evidence everything he did was not his own choice and B) Even if they weren't, he did so much more than either of others I listed.

>That's love for you
But you don't think that if ANYONE was going to play the 'he's not like this' card, it'd be Hope? Love him or not, I would figure Hope would point out if the way Sombra was acting wasn't normal like they did with Trixie, which leads me to believe what Sombra did wasn't the result of demonic possession but his own decisions.

>So the damage is done, will you fix it? or will you just watch the world burn.
I didn't say fixing his mistakes was bad, it is good. But it shouldn't mean he's totally off the hook for it, nor does simply doing the right thing mean you are a hero. He should try to make up for them but there are still consequences to his actions, redemption takes time.
>>
>>25799430
>She answer his questions, but she also said that the did not regret her decision and the crystal hearth will not be removed.
She was a dumb bitch.

Her last words were literally 'I saw the potential you have to be better than them, even now, I didn't make the Crystal Heart to hurt you'. She never said EITHER of those two things you just said. She was completely civil to Sombra and tried to help him despite her mistake in not telling him before. Sombra was the petulant child who 'killed' her without listening to a thing she said.

>They couldn't just talk or see if he change his mind?. No dialogue at all?.

What makes you think that they DIDN'T try to just talk or change his mind? What makes you think the most compassionate/wise ponies in all Equestria would be the ones to shoot first, ask questions later? That completely clashes with their personality. We know nothing, absolutely NOTHING about how the exchange went down except it ended with Sombra's banishment, but you can't seriously assume they banished him as a first decision, do you?
>>
>>25799175
>He tortured thousands of ponies.
he slaved the crystal ponies for cheap labor. but just that. there is no whip.

>I'm pretty sure Sombra made that clear as day when he put himself on a throne that wasn't his.
suprise?

>sombra and ponies banished for a thousand years for it.
That's the sisters fault. He just place the spell, he didn't activated it.
>>
>>25799448
Being put in chains, living in misery, and forced to do hard labor (he had them dig hundreds of meters below the earth) seems like torture to me. And powerful enough dark magic to enslave an entire race and crystallize anyone who disagrees seems much more effective than any whip.

Also
>He placed the spell

>>25799504
Didn't they "redeem" Discord, who basically ruled over Equestria with an Iron Claw-Hoof?
Granted he's still kinda of an asshole, but if they can give him a pass, I'm fairly certain anyone who's willing to stop being a bastard is fair game for redemption.
Hell they'd probably forgive Chryssi if she wasn't so set on being evil. She truly enjoys it.
>>
>>25799334
Have the mane6 and Cadance actually do something useful instead of being easily defeated and imprisoned for the majority of it.

Remove Celestia and Luna completely as they served no purpose other than to show Sombra is so overpowered he can stone two alicorns. Or at least have them show up at the end to help the mane6 fight off the umbrum.

Remove Iron Will, Lightning Dust, and FlimFlam as their inclusion made no sense and they disappeared half way through the story anyway.

If they are still going to have Sombra reform, at least have it through out the arc by not only having Hope but also Twi and Cadance talk some sense into him from what they learned from his journal instead of just like 2 pages where Hope gives him a stern talking to.

Sombra was created whit the magic of the monsters, so sombra is an extend of these.

Just becouse she didn't make it to hurt him doesn't change the fact( that she hurt him ).

>She was completely civil
She was very calm knowing that sombra was suffering becouse of the crystal hearth.
At last second she decided to tell the true, but instead of being sorry or show remorse she just throw it in his face like if it was something to be proud of it.

And the Joker likes to play with Ponies, but they both still qualify as villains.
And while I can acknowledge that Discord's Reformation seems more like taking a liking to Fluttershy and preferring playing nice to being trapped in stone, Celestia still gives him a pass.
If they can give a pass to the Lord of Chaos, I think they can give one to the King of Monsters.
Not Godzilla, the other one. The tinier one.

Yes.

No, we don't: everything about that confrontation is glossed over straight to its conclusion with no mentioning of the inner workings. There is absolutely no reason to assume they didn't think twice or try anything else, no one the princesses have ever banished was done so without exploring other options.

She is her sister, she didn't try to talk down luna, she just yell at her how bad she was.
She regret it later.

>Scorpan tried to talk Tirek out of conquering Equestria, he flatly refused
Scorpan, not celestia or luna

>Discord, he refused to change anything.
they meant to restore the land, not to save him from being banished.

God no, Celestia and Luna reacted reasonably to seeing someone who had just murdered a princess and enslaved a city, and that's by going at him. Sombra is the asshole that cursed everyone.

And I know it's the comics and they're not really connected, but they were right. Sombra, sans Princess intervention, immediately goes to war and fucks shit up. Like I said, I know it's the show, so his motivation was 'Mwhahahah, gonna take over the world" and this whole shit with the Umbrum was not actually a part of that universe, but in context this means that if Celly or Luna hadn't stepped in, we know what would have happened.

In context, they did the right thing.

But it was in the ghost form, when he was resurrected he emerge as a male (born), since then he was no longer a filly.

Also giving a umbrums don't seem to have gender's since they are weapon-demon creatures.

Maybe they refer him like filly because he was a crybaby.

Still it does change the fact that you wanted to give to lick king sombra massive, textured throbbing member, faggot.
>>
>>25799870
>can we agreed that it's sombra, celestia, luna and mi-amore fault?

Celestia and Luna had nothing to do with the CE. Celestia even said it was a remote area that they knew very little of. They got a report that this place was being attacked, they reacted accordingly since they've previously been connected with acts that go towards securing a more harmonious and peaceful Equestria.

The retarded thing is Princess Amore not explaining early on to Sombra who he was. She's at fault, but that doesn't excuse "killing" her and taking over her empire as a dictator.

>having all the antagonists in it for no reason and then not even having them participate in the rebellion

>this part >>25796507

I am really not the biggest fan of saving someone who sacrificed themselves. It invalidates the whole sacrifice. During the reflections arc they did it right, Sombra absorbed all the evil and now has to live as an enemy of the nation, forever separated from his Oneitis.

This time though there are absolutely no negative consequences for him. At the last moment he realized what he was doing and that it was exclusively his fault and couldn't be blamed on fate, and he sacrificed himself to fix it - that was a good way to resolve it in my opinion, just would have needed a few more panels.
But then they fix him up again and he gets rewarded for almost destroying everything by getting to be with his one true love and enjoying an adventure.


So really, it would have only needed minor changes in my opinion to be a lot better.

>>25818946
>What I meant is that many anons actually believe that sombra should be imprison, tortured or make an "example" of him.

Oh, no. That is not what I meant.
I just personally feel that immediately reversing all the negative consequences of a sacrifice takes away from its meaning. A sacrifice is supposed to show someone's conviction to their cause, and I feel like it is severely lessened if those negative consequences aren't permanent.
>>
>>25819083
Welp, he was turned into shadow and smoke by destroying his body but he was saved from going to hell by hope and restored again by the princesses.
The negative consequences Could been permanent if the princesses didn't heal him.
So it's true giving the time?

>>25819075
Retarded and bad ending. It literally end whit him crying alone. We don't know if luna and celestia will help him or not, nothing I tell you.


Also sombra looks younger.

This. but it must be good ones

IDW can probably handle OC villains better than side characters.
>>
>>25822924

It seems pretty much all characters IDW try to handle (including mane6 half the time) turn into OC's. To me it seems they'd be much better off if they didn't have the associations to known characters.

This. Villain Sombra was pretty OC tier already. Now that he's good, he is legit OC with an OC waifu
>>
>>25823178
there was so little of sombra. I think IDW give sombra some personality.

Hope oc waifu from deviantart (?)

birth of a supervillain

>>25823178
To be fair, show Sombra might as well have not existed. There wasn't really anything in the episode to work with, so they had no choice but to make up their own personality for him.
>>
>>25827513
Imagine what they could've come up with if they gave him a little bit more. His lack of personality and fearsome power makes him a magnet for fanfiction.

Sombra and Hope become Inuyasha and Kagome searching for the Shikon crystal shards.
>>
>>25830839
>>25808290

I am both surprised and excited for the revelation. I like sombra expression when hope tell him that she was doing all this for him. However she didn't need to saying it like that. She is acting like a child... Maybe she didn't age at all.

Except Hope isn't an obnoxious abusive bitch who Sombra should murder.
