| 1 | For a cute, [[VileVillainSaccharineShow saccharine show]], ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has a lot of villains that [[MoralEventHorizon cross the line]], proving that even though Equestria is all about [[EasilyForgiven instant forgiveness]] there are still [[ThisIsUnforgivable some things that are considered unforgivable]]. |
| 2 | ---- |
| 3 | * "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E1TheCrystalEmpirePart1 The Crystal Empire Part 1]]" does this to [[SorcerousOverlord King Sombra]] immediately upon his introduction where it's revealed he turned the Crystal Empire into {{Mordor}} and [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil enslave the crystal ponies who lived there]]. Notably he lack any explanation or mitigating factors unlike prior major villains[[labelnote:explanation]][[FallenAngel Nightmare Moon]] had [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds a tragic backstory]], [[GodOfChaos Discord]] and [[EmotionEater the changelings]] were driven by some component of their natures with the former mostly [[LaughablyEvil played comedically]].[[/labelnote]] and is portrayed more as a monstrous force of evil than an actual character. |
| 4 | * In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E26TwilightsKingdomPart2 Twilight's Kingdom Part 2]]", Lord Tirek crossed this by having Discord betray and imprison Twilight's friends only to similarly betray Discord and drain his magic. Discord remained sympathetic even before being betrayed as he had moments of conflictedness about it and only did so because he thought Tirek was a more compatible friend, while Tirek betrayed and rejected the friendship that redeemed Discord. |
| 5 | * The griffin guide in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E8TheLostTreasureofGriffonstone The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone]]" crosses it by abandoning an injured Rainbow Dash in a abyss just because Rainbow didn't have enough bits. |
| 6 | * [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen Chrysalis]] was shockingly evil upon her debut in "A Canterlot Wedding", but crosses to irredeemably in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E26ToWhereAndBackAgainPart2 To Where and Back Again Part 2]]" when she attacked Starlight Glimmer and attempted to drain Thorax's love when they challenged her rule by the latter having discovered a cure to their HorrorHunger, [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist invalidating her prior mitigating motivation of feeding her subjects]]. This, followed with her [[RedemptionRejection refusing the offer of redemption]] for the good of her subjects, established her as a pure tyrant irredeemable even by what had become a notoriously forgiving series. |
| 7 | * In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'', [[TheConqueror The Storm King]] crosses the line by [[spoiler:creating a massive tornado that threatened to destroy Canterlot along with his own army, then backstabbing and attempting to murder Tempest when she asks for him to fix her horn to fulfill his end of the deal.]] |
