Any Elvis is best Elvis, but I'm just saying most portrayals are the later guy, since the younger one doesn't look as exciting unless he's dancing.

Except that I'm 90% certain, between that description and other hints so far, that the character is a power-stripped Discord... not the author's OC.

I'm not interested in follow the story to find out, though. It actually looks rather well written, at least for reading it an hour after midnight. However, the concept just isn't interesting enough for me to keep tabs on, and I'm just not curious enough to care if it is leading the way I suspect or will wander off in its own direction. The writing thus far has the potential to end up meandering along for a half-dozen chapters, poking away at the truth, before finally getting to the point.

I may take a look at it again, in the future, if I see it mentioned somewhere and recall it.

Okay then, the categories will be:

Cliche Factor
Angst Level
Contrivedness Rating
Canonical Subversion Factor
Migitating Factors


Resonance

Cliche Factor: 4 "Hero's" family gets knobbled and hero gets cursed by Big Bad for trying to kill him. Fairly cliche, but not as bad as it could be (also see migitating factors). "Hero" could be a steriotypical grizzled action-RPG hero or something (didn't God of War start out something like this...?) who shouts angrily a lot. It hasn't got there yet, but seems likely to be using enchantant as brain-washing.
Angst Level: 4 The whole family thing, plus either deep wankst over family loss or "not-his-fault" enchantment for the fall.
Contrivedness Rating: 2 Aside from putting Somber Notes in a direct position to attract Discord's personal attention (by trying to assassninate him), it's at least moderately plausible logic.
Canonical Subversion Factor: 2 Discord using petrification. I'm only giving this a minor one because as a creature of chaos, he seems likely to do anything once or twice.
Migitating Factors: -1.5 Discord is definately CE here, so there's that, and he did had at least one line that made me laugh (a very long long CANTERLOCK laugh that ended with "*snip*AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHEEHAHAHA bored now").

Final score: 10.5 Unfinished, and while not "good" I am at least willing to watch it for a couple more chapters to see if it modifies the rating.



I'll get to that other one later, from the looks and sounds of it it could be very tiresome, but I suppose I need to look at something while I'm grinding on the Hidden Hollows in B2...)

The only problem is I was talking to myself. Alone. With the door closed. But it was still an honest-to-goodness slip-up. I meant to say, out loud, "somebody", and out came "somepony." But I was technically talking to myself, which some may argue that means my defenses were naturally down, and thus, doesn't count. So I'm turning it over to you all: Should I call this the moment when I finally slipped up, or should I wait until I'm talking with others and it happens?
I'm not sure if I should be grateful that English isn't my native tongue, that way I can avoid those slips of tongue, though I am curious on how all the puns are translated. Maybe I should give the dub another chance.

Well now that you let the pony out of the bag... might as well call it there. Though really, I don't think it's much of a slip-up. Then again, I'm teaching my daughter to use "Flying Feather" as a curse word instead of the usual mainstream words so what do I know?

That and (at least for many Americans) the latter Elvis is easier to cosplay proportion-wise.

Presumably that would be a story about how alien ponies came to Earth wherein, in between difficult-to-follow action sequences, it would be about dozen humans (several of them scantifly clad females with little depth) being pathetic, while the ponies themselves get about five minute's screen time and one line a piece apart from Celestia and maybe Nightmare Moon...

Pretty much agreed. Still as villains go he seemed to just be flat out weaker. I never got the impression that if Twilight failed, that Celestia and Luna wouldn't be able to just finish him off personally.

I maintain that this is down to their trying to give Sombra dialogue without simultaneously giving him a character. Nothing he said explained anything about him or made him more interesting, and everything he said made him more ridiculous. He would have been a stronger villain if he'd acted exactly the same, but said nothing and communicated by facial expressions and evil laughter alone.

I agree with this view, giving him nothing would have been better than giving him the tiny amount they did, because it wouldn't raise as many questions from the (admittedly over analyzing) audience.

Also, on a completely unrelated note, I think that if the Hub decides to do the whol "naughty vs. nice" thing again, they should just do an entirely pony version.

Agreed. I mean he was never meant to be an immortal, unlike Luna and Discord, so I doubt he had the mental capabilities to actually survive his own curse to reconquer the Crystal Empire. In the end he was filled with madness, hate, and a mindless desire for power. By that point Angel was smarter then him.

So Twilight used 'dark' magic. What's the playground consensus? Is it Dark like the pokemon type and there are no consequences to using it and the show will barely mention it again? Or is it possible the season finale villain will be Evil Twilight?

Obviously the series will end when five of the mane six try in vain to stop the coming of The Party and The Pink One is heralded into their world.


It will be a cheerful ending!

Okay, fine.

Given how so much of the Equestrian universe is tied to emotions, I would think that 'dark' magic is primarily tied to 'dark' emotions. That is, the problem isn't be capable of channeling anger/rage/etc into magic, but doing so on a regular basis. We aren't any more likely to see Twilight turning evil through one use of a spell than seeing Celestia do so for the same reason.

I'm not sure Sombra was any more dead after the episode than he was beforehand. It seems more likely he was just banished, or pushed out into the frozen tundra.

I've only seen pieces of previous series' movies, so I really wouldn't be able to compare. I highly doubt we'll be seeing eugenics on the show (what movie was ever THAT dark?!) and any death of a character will likely be a sad thing, not scary.

Dark like the Pokemon type. We have no reason to believe otherwise considering how casually Celestia herself used the magic. Furthermore it just looked odd but it's not like it did anything evil besides looking odd. Finally people are overreacting to the whole thing. If anypony could handle dark magic it's Twilight.

I think the 'dark' magic that Twilight used could have consequences, as it seems to be powered by fear and hatred, but only if Twlight makes regular use of it. Frankly, I don't foresee it being an issue, as Twlight reverted back to her normal magic fairly quickly.
