I like both Sauron and Sombra so I like those similarities.

Also number, whoa.

I was expecting a flugelhorn joke.

And Niggertron don't disappoint. Again he made good points.

Except that gak thing.

GRAAAH [lol]

Hopefully Twi learns more control over the Dark Power she just learnt over the season, accidents would be bad.

He's the incarnation of political incorrectness, that's kinda the point.

I'd actually bet that her use of the dark magic is going to become a plot point later on. If you take a look at the door scene again, you can actually see her magic darken throughout the scene as she gets more and more frustrated with the door before she snaps and lashes out at it. It definitely seems like a "give in to your anger" type of magic.

Anyways, another disturbing trend I've been seeing on Derpi is giving Sombra a taste for more... depraved... methods of tormenting his enslaved populace D:

@Lurker: That's going to facilitate a stepping-up of her training in self-control then.

Just join them Bruce.

I'm going to have to rewatch it. Sounds like I missed a lot due to the livestream.

Maybe Discord is the Morgoth figure. Sombra was his apprentice. Celestia and Luna took him out as part of the post-Discord cleanup effort.

And yeah, there are a lot of little details in the episode that I didn't pick up on first watch. I really need to find time to rewatch the entire thing.

Also, against all odds, I have to say that Lord Niggertron actually has some pretty good points about the episodes. tongue

Give in to your anger, let the hate flow through you, etc.
You can't expect me to be fine.

@J Teeth: Discord doesn't seem like the kind of person that would take apprentices. Cuts to much into "chaos time". Plus, Sombra seems more Lawful Evil compared to Discord's Chaotic Evil.

But who knows.

Maybe Sombra was a Discord fanboy or something.

@Story

Here's the progression:

Here's her first attempt to open the door.

It eludes her, and starts to make her angry.

Here's her third attempt to open the door normally. You can clearly see the difference in her magic color by comparing her horn glow to her telekinesis glow.

It eludes her one more time, and then she snaps.

That might actually be pretty crafty of King Sombra if he designed the door such that it can only be overcome with shadow magic.

@Kyler

Trying to overcome it with shadow magic was the trap, though, preying on the "well it worked the first time" mentality. She had to use... something else. Whatever that other magic was will probably be elaborated upon later as well if the dark magic is brought up again.

Which makes it such a shame that all he can say is "graaagh cryyystal miiine graaagh".

[up] I dunno, man, it looked like shadow magic to me. Evil green bubbly shadow magic, but yeah.

Disregard. I'm remembering the whole scene wrong.

Huh, that's quite interesting. And yeah, Sombra really did plan this out pretty well. Maybe he enchanted the door like that to make whoever tries to open it more susceptible to the illusion.

I like that Luna's mysterious book is tagged on Derpi as 'black tome of future plot relevance' .
