To late, but - Sombra wasnt a good villian. In S9 - yes, he is freaking rule, but back in S3… meh
yeah which is pretty sad considering the “version” they ended up coming with, hence what was said here:
@Background Pony #BD1B
The new Sombra is too generic, too mainstream. He isn’t interesting and his characteristics come off as annoying as Prince Blueblood. But that’s just my opinion
Comics are B canon so whatever the show comes up with tends to override the comics. That being said I find comic Sombra massively more interesting than the bland one the show came up with.
@Background Pony #CD2A
Honestly, I’m fine with a pompous snob as I feel it suits the character of Sombra and I’ve had that image in my head for a while now.
Bro, the comics are a separate continuity from the animated media.
Any and all stories they did with Sombra in the comics no longer have a possibility to exist in the shows timeline.
The comics for one. Unless you’re sticking to just the show, they did show him to be a ton more brooding, threatening and in all honesty, more evil. This show came up with “generic cartoon villain who is evil for the sake of being evil” and making him a pompous snob.
LOL, what character?
Sadly they missed on the consistency and logic with sombra. Too much contradictions with his character.
Very few expect perfection, or anything close to perfect. You can have consistency and logic without perfection.
“Okay, I have to comment on this statement. Expecting writers to give a damn about consistency in the universe they’re writing in when they’re trying to make more serious, adventure style episodes seems like it should be the bare minimum of expectations. If MLP was just random bits of slice of life with some magic involved then sure, whatever, do whatever works for the episode. But it’s not. They try to work in adventure and little bits of drama too. those should have some consistency to them. And every writer, regardless of what they’re writer, needs to put some thought into the canon of what they’re writing for, and ask why and how for their characters actions while expecting it to make some sense. I don’t care if it’s for kids or adults.”
Exactly what I’m getting at! The show can’t be perfect. It can’t. The writers have far too much of an established universe that they can’t find every small detail. So there’s bound to be mistakes and errors.
It’s the fact people put the show as being perfect, but undermining the flaws is what gets me. I will point out that the way they wrote and portrayed sombra felt like it wasn’t him at all, despite the only 2-3 episodes and minimum 10 minutes of footage, they only had very little to study to understand his character. The voice was off, he came out as a typical cookie-cutter villain, and they made him to be a smug, pompous rich-boy that has a heel-turn generic moment of “I won! I am powerful…oh no I lost! Impossible!! How can this be?!”
I’ll admit, he did take over almost flawlessly, except that it really did seem like a walk in the park with very little conflict.
>If you expect the writers to watch, study and engross themselves in every little detail of the show, you’re being pretty ignorant. Can’t make this show perfect because they’re on time constraints.

>Don’t like it? Don’t watch it.
How would they or anyone else know they don’t like the episode(s) if they don’t watch it/them?
Oh, cry us a river, why don’t you?

Actually the “magic and kid’s show” is pretty valid considering this show is for the soul purpose of selling toys on the market.
Don’t like it? Don’t watch it. Pretty valid argument, but you can’t really justify it as not being so because that’s your opinion.
If you expect the writers to watch, study and engross themselves in every little detail of the show, you’re being pretty ignorant. Can’t make this show perfect because they’re on time constraints.
If you’re losing sleep over this, then I’m sorry. Clearly you’re taking it waaay to seriously and probably should tone it down. It’s getting embarrassing. Take a break, or do what I did years ago, stop watching.
I stopping watching the show at season 6, because it’s not that interesting to me anymore, and only here to see how awful they’ve messed up with sombra (which they did) because they made him a run of the mill cliché villain. I much prefer the comic’s sombra because he actually had a reason behind his outlash on the empire, and not just “grr I’m evil.”
But hey. Just a kid’s show. Sorry this is a difficult concept to grasp for you.

Try again, sounds like your the one triggered. Seriously read it again, I never said criticism isn’t valid and I never said the show was my favorite.
Honestly it’s amazing how easy it is to bait you people. Easy, but still fun. I’m not the type that gets triggered at this shit. It really doesn’t matter what kind of criticism people have of the show. Valid or otherwise I’m still enjoying myself.
If you’ve ever seen me comment in the past I’ve never stopped people from talking about overblown criticisms. I cheer those fuckers on. Please don’t ever stop. Even after the show ends this will never not be fun.
Again, Cheers for that.
your current filter.@Background Pony #EEF2
There’s too little info on his initial rule of the Empire to have that substantiate an argument. Try again. The point stands that the difficulty in which he took over the empire in s3 compared to now is an inconsistent plot hole.
And the “Magic” and “Kid’s show” cards are not valid arguments. They don’t justify bad writing full of plot holes. There’s no reason Sombra should be able to single handedly overpower the entire empire. Tirek is the only villain who has ever been capable of actually conquering alone, and it was actually explained why.
Best move on if you have no argument bub.
Are you always this triggered at criticism of your favourite show? Grow up.
