@Ginger: Hey, not trying to complain about being ignored or anything, but did you see my huge post about the Moriarty book?

Rainbow isn't really lazy at all though. She spends a huge amount of time training, which she motivates herself to do entirely on her own. She lazes around a lot otherwise, yeah, but that's just balancing out her normal activeness.

Good point.

If he's representative of Sloth, why would he be a threat?

he could make everyone AROUND him slothful too.

Wait, I think Basil could represent Sloth

@Blue Yeah, I just don't llike the idea of Moriarty being conned

But then they wouldn't be much of villains. Villain motivators always fall under madness or ambition. Sloth is a lack of ambition.

I analyze "Geek Culture" here.

When All Else Fails, worry, that's the 14 way.

Could be like the Sloth Demon from Dragon Age. He himself is not slothful but causes others to be.

So probably behind on the thread. But what if Order was an insubstantial being that took over Celestia or something? The Mane 6 would have the issue of fighting her and possibly harming the princess. Maybe its Luna who ends up being the one to fight her, and it allows her to release what little anger and resentment is left from being banished to the moon.

Dunno

#106084 Red Savant Fri, 24th Feb '12 5:54:25 PM from Eastern US

Let's be honest here; Celestia versus Nightmare Moon was never a battle of ideologies, and if it was, it was never freedom versus order. If it was, who was what? The immortal absolute monarch who, though benevolent and kind, is absolute in every sense of the word? Or the immortal dictator with the intention of forcing every living thing on the planet to worship her until they all died of starvation?

Can you think inside the chimney?

#106085 Drenius Fri, 24th Feb '12 5:54:48 PM from Northern Virginia

@Ba d &Ginger: Hm. that's acceptable.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it was strange to couch their conflict in those terms.

I could type out a long ass rant that uses liberal amounts of Fannon and certain interpretations of cannon to make the point of how Celestia and Luna's fight could be seen as a conflict of Order VS Freedom, but I won't since by the time I have finished typing this much shorter bit it will most likely be pointing at the wrong post anyway.

EDIT: @ Red SEE! This thread moves to fast for me to articulate myself properly without the topic changing.

I shouldn't have used that as an example. It only happened once, by Irene Adler, and it was a tiny, 2 chapter story. Basically, she hired him for a job, which he performed perfectly, but she was able to foresee that he would use methods to complete the job that accomplished her hidden agenda, which he did not get paid for. And technically, she paid him exactly as promised: a cut of her profits, which was nothing. She used his own brilliance against him.

#106094 Emidawg Fri, 24th Feb '12 5:58:32 PM

I was thinking more along the lines of the Mane 6 being unable to hurt Celestia... but since Luna has likely done it before she would have less qualms and be the one to know her weaknesses so that she could be subdued long enough for the EOH to be used to get Celestia back to normal.

Just thought it woudl be a good way to get more airtime for Luna and have her be used in a meaningful matter to defeat a villian.

@Crowlover: The one from "Owl's Well" is called Razorfang. See It Takes A Village for reference.

@Mage: I hate to be so blunt, but your fanon about how the Everfree Forest was Luna's personal den of chaotic growth makes no sense with what else we know about ponies, the natural order, and the sisters. Nor does it invalidate my earlier point regarding horrific wasting death, so...

@Blue I rank protagonists and villains using different criteria.

Moriarty as the main character would piss me off. and if they dumbed him down enough to fit my standards, then he's not the Moriarty I love anymore
