Hmmmm… fighting for artifacts to sell, deflaming Daring Do’s reputation (he did have a point though, she is reckless) and possible kidnapping. I don’t know if there are any treasure hunting laws in equestria…
@TheSultanAkbar
It’s not what he wrote, it’s what she wrote too. By stating all of those events were true, the previous books should now be considered witness statements. Like, isn’t he guilty of at least one case of attempted murder?
@TheSultanAkbar
Except, by writing a book stating that all the Daring Do stories are actually true, he’s actually incriminating himself as well due to all the damning evidence of his own criminal activities contained within!
@BossGriffin
AHA! I got it! If he is exposing her, therefore telling the truth about her lies, doesn’t it technically fall under fair use, since he is critiquing her actions?
But like I said, doubt anyone cares as long as there is drama!
@TheSultanAkbar
Why not? I mean, as far as everyone else is concerned - everyone to whom it’s all fiction - Daring Do is AK Yearling’s creation, so this Groom QQ Martingale is violating her trademark by profiting off her intellectual property.
Hell, Svengallop just sulked in Las Pegasus in S6 and S8 cameos, after his debut, having had his reputation presumably ruined from word spreading.
He’s no threat at all.
The likes of Suri Polomare (no repeat appearances) and Wind Rider aren’t dangerous either, because they probably won’t kill you.
Lightning Dust is a sociopath, but she’s not actively malicious, most of the time (endangering Scootaloo with a reckless stunt was probably somewhat done to spite Rainbow Dash).
Unreformed antagonists list (includes both best villains and worst ponies):
Flim and Flam -> Quite dangerous
Iron Will -> Not very dangerous
Queen Chrysalis -> Very dangerous
King Sombra -> Very dangerous
Lightning Dust -> Quite dangerous
Suri Polomare -> Quite dangerous
Lord Tirek -> Very dangerous
Wind Rider -> Quite dangerous
Spoilered, Tiara’s Mom -> Not very dangerous
Svengallop -> Quite dangerous
Zesty -> Quite dangerous
Sludge -> Not very dangerous
Cozy Glow -> Very dangerous
Movie:
Storm King -> Very dangerous
So, villain reformation has only done to half of all the antagonists, duh.
Reformed Antagonists list:
Nightmare Moon / Luna -> reformed by Twilight Sparkle
Trixie -> reformed by Twilight Sparkle
Discord -> reformed by Fluttershy and then Twilight Sparkle after a betrayal
Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon -> reformed by Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo
Gilda -> reformed by Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash
Starlight Glimmer -> reformed by Twilight Sparkle
Thorax -> reformed by Spike
All the changelings but the former queen -> reformed by Thorax and Starlight Glimmer
Pony of Shadow’s puppet, Stygian -> reformed by Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer
Neighsay -> reformed by Student Six, especially Yona whom released him
Garble -> reformed by Fluttershy and Spike
Dr Caballeron and his minions -> reformed by Fluttershy
Ahuizotl -> reformed by Fluttershy
Twilight has the most record of reforming villains, Fluttershy is at second place.
