Forgive me, for I will stick that good old theme between your ears so that it STAYS there

Bleedman drawing ponies. Discuss. But don't diss, and don't cuss.

No. Just... No. Plus, he has no-No. Just... No. Ponies reproduce via the system portrayed in Dumbo, period.

Bleedman drew Nightmare Moon (along with a bunch of different characters for his friend's wacko...crossover...thing...)

I used to post on the Snafu Forums a long time ago but left cause I kinda grew tired of the community there. We'll keep it at that. Bleedman does some good art and I loved his April Fools page, I'd like to see him draw more ponies.

SOMEONE ELSE WHO DOESN'T HATE THE CMC THEME!!

People hate the CMC theme? Why?!?!?!

Nightmare Moon is a really ineffective villain. I mean, almost every other villain accomplished more than she did. The only ones who were less powerful that I can think of are Trixie and Gilda.

Nightmare Moon was a classic cartoon villain. Really cool and threatening looking, but her plans were really bad. I mean, chopping off Steven Magnet's moustache and making scary tree faces?

See dude, that's not exactly how this "Power Levels" thing works. By this reasoning the Vic Viper is stronger than the entire Bacterion army because it constantly defeat them, but it's kinda hard to argue that the ship that always dies in one hit is more powerful than the Big Core that can take about ten lasers before going down.

There's a lot more that comes into play in combative scenarios than just "who is stronger." The Diamond Dogs managed to hold off the mane cast for so long because they had the homefront advantage—they knew the territory, while the mane cast were having to deal with a challenge they had simply never faced before. You'll noticed that once the mane cast got their bearings and penetrated the base, they were basically mopping the floor with the dogs.

And I think we need to cut Nightmare Moon some slack here. Keep in mind she's been locked up for 1000 years. Imagine if you're the best Street Fighter II player in the world, you have the world's best custom-built arcade stick and you can perform every move and combo at heart, and then you don't play it for a thousand years and then on the day of your release you're immediately thrust into a tournament. Darn right you're probably gonna be silly and totally muff it. You're simply that out of practice, and you probably didn't get to clean your controller either!

[up]NM wasn't propably aware during that time.

Why she "wasn't that good villain" ? Maybe because Luna was fighting inside her. Remeber Luna is only other than Celestria pony what know much about Element Of Harmony so she could subconsciously set traps what could show Element inside Mane Cast.
They are like the others. Strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others. They did not die.

While I like it (or rather, I think it's entertaining in exactly the way it was intended, and it becomes honestly a good song when you remove the vocals), I can see why others would not. It's not catchy, doesn't really tell much about the characters and it can be awkward for those who are not into Cringe Comedy.

I'm not particularly fond of it myself.

I liked the "cutie mark hunt" music, though. Which was later recycled into something Pinkie Pie played at Gummy's birthday party. Which should really be a hatching-day party, technically.

[up] Yeah, it was more cringe than comedy for me. I'm not really into that kind of stuff.

And she just didn't have nearly as much raw power as Discord, so she was forced to try and trip them up with more subtle changes. Though, I don't doubt that, without the Elements, Nightmare Moon could have just beaten them each down in a straight confrontation, if pushed (lightning mane and her huge size and all that). Like Celestia, it appears Luna is not one to do things with big blatant shows of power.

Or she's an experienced farm-hand and knows how to guide herds as a result.

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea that Nightmare Moon only looked weak in comparison because she preferred to do things subtly. Each of her tricks, with the exception of the Shadowbolt ruse, took as little effort on her part as possible. Why attack them herself, when she can enrage the first monster in their path? Why block their path herself, when a quick cut will get a sea serpent to do the job for her? Why conjure actual monsters, when she could just play off their fear of the forest itself? Why bring down lightning and such, when a simple shove can bring down the cliff they're on?

Really, I think what happened is she sorely underestimated them. When they actually reached the castle, that's when her hand was forced, and she simply teleported the Elements away and stamped them to pieces. Then she thought she'd won. Even when the necklaces appeared, she didn't think they'd get the sixth Element, and then it was too late for her to do anything, however powerful she was.

...and that would actually be a nice parallel. Both the major villains would have been defeated by their own overconfidence. It's just more of a blatant failing in Discord's case. Like everything else about him.

I like Enlong's interpretation.

Here's another one: What if Nightmare Moon was leading them to the Elements because she wanted to see if Twi could make the sixth element appear, so she could destroy it? Or alternatively, maybe Nightmare Moon had kinda forgotten where the Elements were and was actually following them, with the same purpose in mind.

Can't blame Nightmare Moon for not suspecting the Elements worked on "we'll appear in time for a dramatic speech" logic, after all.

I like the idea that Luna was fighting the Miasma from within, as well. If only because Ask Loony Luna is rather terrifying.

Ultimately what it comes down to is that Nightmare Moon basically was B.S.ed out of her victory, while the Dogs would've lost eventually anyway and Discord was overconfident (perhaps he was high on the alcohol content of that glass he drank).

The Dogs, Trixie and Gilda aren't really "villains" in the same sense that NMM and Discord are though.
