The Villain?
What is the title referring to for this two-part episode? The debut of Tempest Shadow? The return of Sombra? Or the actual appearance of the Pony of Shadows?- A tie in with the movie would make sense, but it will probably not be very involved in the movie's plot.
- Anyone who's read the comic might have solid evidence for a guess–the arc "From the Shadows" is tied to Season 7 and it features a stallion named Shadow Lock trying to erase evidence of his villainous ancestor. We never find out who said ancestor is, though...therefore, the villain could be this mysterious ancestor. Bonus points if it is King Sombra!
- The synopsis released on September 20th confirms that it will indeed be the Pony of Shadows.
- Don't forget the mysterious shadow from Castle Mane-ia. We never got an answer on what that thing was.
- Lauren Faust once mentioned that she planned on there being some sort of mysterious evil entity which was responsible for Luna becoming Nightmare Moon and for Discord being released from his statue form. Given that some semblance of her original plans came to fruition despite her resignation, what are the chances that the Pony of Shadows was the puppet master?
