Description
A simple drawing I made of the villains from My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic who stayed evil by the end of the series. No redemptions for these guys, no siree!
Here we have the vile shape-shifting bug-queen of the Changelings Queen Chrysalis, the power-hungry umbra-unicorn King Sombra, the magic-eating centaur Lord Tirek, the ruthless, yet comical, conqueror of the Southern lands simply known as the Storm King, and finally we have the adorable yet also heartless child psychopath Cozy Glow.
When the other evils of Equestria all eventually learn to embrace the magic of friendship and seek forgiveness for their past deeds, these guys choose to remain evil, and nothing will ever stop them from trying to conquer the land of the ponies until their last breaths…(you don’t take breaths when you’re turned to stone, right?)
Actually, if it was completely up to me, then this is what the villain team up in season 9 would have looked like…too bad they couldn’t get Liev Schrieber to return to voice the Storm King and that they had to kill off Sombra so soon…oh, and then there was that one blue goat guy from g1 who came out nowhere to suddenly become the new big bad…but not really since he was really Discord in disguise, etc, etc…
Yeah, I was not that sold on that Grogar guy even if he wasn’t Discord since he was really introduced way too late in the game to be an effective villain to end off on, and I personally considered him to be kinda bland compared to the other villains. So I skipped over him in this picture. (good thing too since I kinda ran out of space to add anyone else)

Why? Because that one goofy villain from the 80s show that I barely care about turned out to be a fake? Get over yourself. I can enjoy what I want, and there isn’t a thing you can do to stop me.
The Dazzlings are Equestria Girls villains and the Mean Six are hardly major villains.
Also, you forgot the Dazzlings and the Mean Six.
If you take it that way then it works.
I think Liev Schrieber is way above a pay grade of FiM.
One of the reasons why wasn’t too happy with stoning. I think the trio had the potential for more stories going on with them.
Maybe they’re more useful to him with free will. I mean, his brainwashed drones are pretty much zombies who’re shown to not have much in the way of strategy or aim.
Tartarus really starts to resemble a hotel with a revolving door for comic book villains.
I think that goes under the category it works because the plot says it works. I think some writers even said that he was totally dead after his debut in a S3 or something like that? And then they used him in S9 anyway.
My headcanon is that he is under a curse that’s kept him alive (when the princess turned him into a living shadow). So when he exploded then his magic, essences, soul (or whatever works for you) went to Limbo from where he can be resurrected with the right spell.
That could work, but that raises the question of why would then Sombra just didn’t use a mind-control on them right away rather than go with trouble of negotiation with them.
If we’re going with the idea that they’re all stuck in the same place, perhaps the fact that Cozy might be the only one who figured out how to escape and her idea to work together is the only one that works, they might end up listening to her…for a while anyway. Though the alliance will still be rocky as all hell, just like in the actual show, and as soon as any of them thinks they won’t need the others anymore…well, you can guess what happens next.
Alternatively, they could have easily given Grogar’s role to Sombra when you think about it. While one might argue that it’d be impossible for him to come back without outside help, his ‘death’ was ambiguous enough that it’d be easy to explain that he survived through his broken horn and just needed some time to regain his body and power, and that during that time, he watched the other villains attempted take-overs from the shadows and then assembled them to be part of his new master plan…and to keep them in line, he might as well just threaten to show them their worst fears or mind-control them unless they comply.
That’s exactly why I think using Grogar as a narrative tool to bring villains together is not so bad idea. After that, you can just shift focus on the villains.
I guess that the main asset of the Cozy that she is capable of thinking out of the box that villains could actually benefit from teamwork.
And here is the problem that’s I don’t see why the other villains would be willing to listen or trust Cozy. Tirek would probably argue that she is trying to manipulate them anyway (and he would be probably right).
It would require some leverage to shift villains from phase of forcing them to work together to phase working them together on their own.
I could see Cozy Glow being the one to bring them together though given that her whole philosophy is ‘friendship is power’, and in the situation she ended up in, the only ‘friends’ she would be able to make would be other villains, and she was the only one of the legion who actually was onboard with the idea since the beginning.
The only problem would be how she would be able to get them to listen to her…
I mean, I guess if they all ended up in Tartarus or something, perhaps she would be the one to come up with a plan to escape using the other villains individual strengths.
In fact, I’m currently writing a fanfic where exactly that happens. This picture is actually the planned cover art for said fanfic.
Agree, I personally found trio much more entertaining then Grogar.
Villains coming together on their own would be kinda out of character for them if you look how they could barely put with each other in Frenemies. So using some outer force to bring them together makes sense.
And even then it wasn’t really a problem since if you compare their screentime with each other then Grogar had minimal of it in Frenmie and in that episode where they stole that book, while trio had most of it.
Did I actually say I was okay with it simply by acknowledging it exists? You have a funny way of jumping to conclusions.
Ironically, you are kinda right though since I am not a fan of Grogar, like, at all, and I was very concerned that he would steal the spotlight from the villain trio in the finale and was pleasantly surprised when he didn’t. In fact, I’d say that he’s probably one of the most overrated characters in cartoon history at this point. Seriously, he wasn’t even all that special in g1, and the version we saw in g4 was just so boring and underdeveloped that I simply don’t see why people wanted him to be the final villain.
However, as stated in the description, I would have preferred it if they either used Grogar way earlier to make his presence actually feel earned…or simply not use him at all, and instead having the villains come together on their own without his (or Discord’s) help.
If you were okay with that twist, then that is not okay.
Not. At. All.
Yep, besides these losers should’ve given up when they had the chance, but instead they caused themselves their lives.
And each one of them showed traits of a psychopath.
By G1 villain standards maybe. I mean, I guess he was cooler than Queen Bumble or those witches…but he’s still not nearly as awesome as G1 Tirek was…and he really doesn’t hold a candle to any of the major G4 villains.
Personally, I consider him a bit overrated if I’m honest.
At you can you agree that G1 Grogar was a cool villain, right?
Because he’s not even a proper villain. He’s either a legacy character we never saw in person, Discord in disguise planning to set up a challenge for Twilight to overcome, or an old g1 villain…and neither of those makes him qualify for the theme I set out for this image.
