So who's your favorite villain from the series so far? I'm guessing most of you are probably going to say Discord, so I'm gonna be the odd one out and say I prefer Nightmare Moon.
When I saw the first episode, I thought Nightmare Moon was going to be this cool villain that would carry on throughout the entire season. It wasn't until part two that I realized I was dead wrong. XD

For me it's Discord or Chrysalis. Discord because, despite being a playful villain, actually posed a threat. With Chrysalis, her design for one thing, and I think that despite her playing the part of a succubus, had a good motive, to simply feed her subjects.

I absolutely disliked the design of Chrysalis. Her subject were okay, but she looked... Awful.

I think Discord would be the go-to choice for most people as he's the villian that's received the most character development so far, if only because of the amount of screen-time he received. With that being said, I'll have to say Discord too :/
I liked Nightmare Moon, and reaally liked the idea of the Shadowbolts, but they didn't really end up doing much. I was really disappointed with the Shadowbolts when it became known it was Nightmare Moon - I thought they were going to be ongoing antagonists throughout the series and was looking forward to some antics with them. I kept imagining them like the violin-wielding enemies from Storm Hawks, playing a dirge as they swoop in for an air attack.

I have to say Discord is best villain due to my overwhelming nerdy-ness toward Star Trek.
But, the 2 other awards for "Most Musical Villain" goes to Flim-Flam Brothers. Most wouldn't consider them villains,but any character that creates a problem is considered a villain to me.
Sombre would go under "most anticipated and disappoint villain". I thought he would be almost a Sauron-Pony Equivalent (the background music gave me the same fell as "Isengard Unleashed"), but he was not developed enough to achieve this high status of evil.

I almost forgot the Flim-Flams, though my only justifications are their Victorian salesmen accents and their musical number (Because even if you're a con artist snake oil salesman, a catchy song is all you need!). Plus they made me think of the monorail salesman from The Simpsons.

Oh, if we're talking best antagonists, then I'd probably have to go with Trixie, though with Magic Duel being over, I'm holding out hope she'll return as the Anti-Hero.
Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 was a fun song. The Flim Flam Brothers would be good for another episode, with another sales pitch via song.

I'm majority! Yay! ;D Discord. I just love his whole attitude.
Which is sad, because they've had plenty of 'better' villians if they had advanced their characters.

I'm also going to have to go with Flim and Flam. They count, right?
In any case, they made for a fun reason to get a Music Man inspired song.

Of course they count. They were a pair of snake-oil salesmen who used cheap gimmicks and showmanship to deceive the ponies. Plus I love Flam's mustache and their Victorian medicine man accents. (Yes, I'm a huge fan of Victorian culture)

I like nightmare moon because she's so obviously a Mr Hyde type idea thing, and obviously, discord all the way apart from that.

I really like discord for many reasons. I believe that discord gives you an idea of what it is like to be inside lauren faust's head: cotton clouds, chocolate milk rain, drinking glass cups and throwing solid chocolate milk that explodes upon impact! I mean, that is both pretty wacky and creative. Also discord has a good deal of dialogue in the show, he has a good voice actor, and he has a relatively good script. I'm kind of a huge fan of discord as a villain. Although I will say that the evilest and the most cruel is nightmare moon.

Chrysallis is good too though, because she gives a sense of being proud and overwhelmed by what she managed at one point, which was sort of... Sweet. Discord is the best scripted villain (only the best script for john de lancie) trixie is a good character, like the mane 6, she interacts and is a well developed character In the way the mane 6 are especially. You feel like everyone, from the actors to the animators knew trixie like she came over for coffee every Wednesday (or whatever. You get the image. They just knew her well okay? ) Worst villain? Sunset shimmer. •Generic villainy for the sake of being a generic villain •fastest turnaround- Luna- 1000 years, discord, a season, chrysallis- yet to come, sombra died before he said sorry. Sunset shimmer? 2 minutes.
