My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has many villains.
And today, we’re heading into Canterlot Court to determine which of these villains
learned their lesson about friendship and which villains should be turned to stone for
eternity.
I’m Judge Kifinosi with WickedBinge, and this is sentencing My Little Pony: Friendship
is Magic Villains for their crimes.
The Rules
Before we start court today, let’s go over some rules: Since there are many different
villains in the show, we won’t be able to go through all of them.
We’re not gonna include villains from the Equestria Girls series and the MLP:FiM Movie.
Since many villains are reformed, we’ll do our best to factor that in.
That said, court is now in session!
Let’s begin with the first ever villain that kicked off the series, Nightmare Moon.
Nightmare Moon, our first villain, brought the Mane Six together when the series first
started.
When she was released from her thousand year prison on the moon, she imprisoned her sister,
Princess Celestia, on the moon and threatened to have Equestria become night-time for eternity.
She assaulted the Mane Six throughout their journey to the Castle of the Two Sisters to
get the Elements of Harmony.
She caused a landslide off a cliff and used a manticore to attack them by turning into
a thorn.
Overall, Nightmare Moon has a lot of charges against her, however, we’ll be cutting her
some slack since, after she was defeated, she turned back into Princess Luna and apologized
to her sister for the terrible things she did.
So we feel comfortable giving Nightmare Moon 10 years in prison with parole.
CRIMES: DISTURBING THE PEACE, FALSE IMPRISONMENT, ASSAULT, ATTEMPTED ETERNAL NIGHT-TIME
SENTENCE: 10 Years in Prison With Possibility of Parole
Next up will be the first reformed villain of the series, the griffon Gilda.
Gilda was introduced in Season One as one of Rainbow Dash’s old friends and they used
to hang out together.
However, it was soon revealed that Gilda was not a good friend.
She stole an apple from Granny Smith by pretending her tail was a rattlesnake and she shouted
at Fluttershy for helping ducklings and their mother cross the road.
She harassed Pinkie Pie for pranking her several times and she eventually took off when Rainbow
Dash saw her true colors and told her to leave.
Later in Season Five, she returned in the episode “The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone,”
where she made amends with Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash and they remained true friends
evermore.
For her sentence, we feel community service is appropriate for her.
CRIMES: EMOTIONAL ABUSE, STEALING AND HARASSMENT SENTENCE: Community Service
Next up on the stand will be the wannabe magician, Trixie Lulamoon.
Trixie was a magician and a braggart.
In her debut episode “Boast Busters,” she bragged about being able to defeat an
ursa major.
When they heard her boast, two little fillies, Snips and Snail, brought forth what they thought
was an ursa major (actually an ursa minor) to prove her abilities.
It was then revealed that everything Trixie said was a lie.
As it turned out, she couldn’t handle the ursa minor and thus endangered the town.
In Season Three, in the episode “Magic Duel,” she returns with a powerful amulet and wreaks
havoc in Ponyville.
She defeats Twilight in a magic duel, banishing her to the Everfree Forest and enslaving the
entire town.
Giving them hard labor, she abuses and neglects everyone in town, especially Snips and Snail.
After Twilight fooled Trixie into giving up the amulet, she apologized for what she did,
but held a grudge against her in later seasons.
Overall, for these crimes, we’ll be giving her 20 years in prison, but with a chance
at parole at some point.
CRIMES: RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT, ENSLAVEMENT OF AN ENTIRE TOWN, ABUSE, AND NEGLECT
CRIMES: 20 Years in Prison with Chance of Parole
Next up will be the master of chaos himself, Discord.
Discord committed quite a few crimes.
He was introduced while breaking free of his stone prison.
He immediately went about fomenting chaos.
He stole the Elements of Harmony and hid them, so the Mane Six wouldn’t turn him back to
stone.
Using mind control, he caused the Mane Six to behave against their nature.
He threatened to turn the entire world into chaos, attempting to make Ponyville the chaos
capital of the world.
He also damaged many properties in Equestria.
In Season Nine, wanting to be helpful, he impersonated Grogar so that he could prepare
Twilight to become ruler of Equestria.
While he decided to change his ways, he is charged with treason for working with Lord
Tirek and betraying the ponies in Season Four.
While he still has a lot of work to do, we’ll be giving Discord 50 more years of being stone
to fully account for his crimes.
CRIMES: ROBBERY, ETERNAL CHAOS, MIND CONTROL, DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY, TREASON AND IMPERSONATION.
SENTENCE: 50 More Years of Being Stone
Next will be the twin brothers, Flim and Flam.
The Flim and Flam brothers are best known for their scams and swindling.
There have been several instances where they have tried to scam for money.
In their debut episode, “The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000,” they provoked the Apple
family into doing a cider race challenge, only to lose because of the quality of the
drink.
In Season Four, they scammed ponies with injuries, offering an elixir that would supposedly cure
them.
Applejack eventually discovered the trick and confronted Flim and Flam to get at the
truth.
They discreetly disclosed that it was just a mixture of apple juice and beet leaves.
Later, Applejack shared this with the ponies after Granny Smith attempted to do a dangerous
stunt.
In Season Eight, they started up Friendship University with promises to teach friendship
lessons in half the time as Twilight’s school, only to be revealed that it was just another
scam to fund money for their resort.
For these crimes, we’ll be giving them 5 years imprisonment without parole as they
never learned their lesson and were always inventing another scam.
CRIMES: FALSE ADVERTISEMENT AND SCAMMING SENTENCE: 5 Years in Prison
Next on the stand will be the former queen of the Changelings, Queen Chrysalis.
(pronounce - https://youtu.be/0u00AhOs4kY?t=19 )
Queen Chrysalis was one of the main villains for MLP.
She has committed several crimes against all of Equestria.
At the end of Season Two, she imprisoned Princess Cadance and impersonated her to steal Shining
Armor’s love for power.
Her Changeling army attacked everyone in Canterlot, so war crimes are another of her offenses.
At the end of Season Six, she kidnapped all of the princesses and other creatures of power
and replaced them with her army.
It was proven that she cared very little for her army and only wanted to magnify her own
power.
After Starlight Glimmer showed the Changelings that they could share their love, they dethroned
Chrysalis from her place as queen and Chrysalis went on the lam.
While she was turned to stone in the series finale, we feel that all these crimes deserve
a harsher sentence.
Which will be the death penalty.
We know it’s a kids show… but a harsh sentence is needed here.
CRIMES: IMPERSONATION, FALSE IMPRISONMENT, WAR CRIMES, KIDNAPPING, NEGLECT AND ABUSE.
SENTENCE: Death Penalty
Next up will be the tyrant King Sombra.
This tyrant has committed many crimes throughout the series.
In his debut in Season Three, he enslaved the Crystal Empire and threatened to take
over Equestria.
After returning from banishment a thousand years later, he threatened to take back the
Crystal Empire, attacking everyone who got in his way.
While in the end he was defeated, it doesn’t excuse the assault and abuse of the Crystal
Ponies.
He returned in Season Nine and destroyed the Tree and Elements of Harmony to dissipate
the powers of the Mane Six.
He continued to brainwash everyone into being his slaves and took over all the other cities.
He was defeated in the end after Discord made the Mane Six realize that they still had the
power of the Elements inside them.
Overall, his sentence for all these crimes definitely earns him the death penalty and
the banishment of his spirit for eternity.
CRIMES: ENSLAVEMENT, ABUSE, ASSAULT, DESTRUCTION OF THE TREE AND ELEMENTS OF HARMONY, MIND
CONTROL, AND WAR CRIMES.
SENTENCE: Death Penalty & Banishment of His Spirit
Next up on the stand will be Lightning Dust.
Lightning Dust was an academy student with Rainbow Dash for the Wonderbolts.
However, it was proven that she had little regard for safety and was quite reckless.
During her time in the academy, she ignored Rainbow’s injury, pushed off all the other
classmates during a race, and created a tornado that seriously endangered her friends.
She returned in Season Eight where she founded the Washouts, a team of ex-Wonderbolts that
do more death-defying stunts.
When the young filly Scootaloo became a temporary member, it was revealed that Lightning Dust
didn’t care if she got hurt during the stunt.
For these crimes, we’ll be giving her 15 years in prison for recklessness and callous
disregard for the safety of other ponies.
CRIMES: RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT AND ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF OTHERS.
SENTENCE: 15 Years in Prison
Next will be the power hungry Lord Tirek.
Lord Tirek is a centaur that has the ability to absorb other ponies’ magic.
In his debut episode in the Season Four finale, he stole ponies’ magic to become stronger.
He convinced Discord to team up with him and persisted in stealing more magic.
He went on stealing magic in every major city, so we can add assault to his crimes.
In the series finale, he helped his allies steal more magic and imprisoned everyone of
power except for Twilight.
Though he was turned to stone in the end, we can’t help but wonder if being turned
to stone with his villainous allies, could this be a proper sentence for him.
We agreed that, yes, he should be sentenced to serve as a statue of stone for eternity.
CRIMES: THEFT OF MAGIC, MANIPULATION, ASSAULT, AND UNLAWFUL IMPRISONMENT
SENTENCE: Stone Statue for Eternity
Next up will be Starlight Glimmer.
Starlight Glimmer was introduced in Season Five, the founder of the village Our Town.
She covered her cutie mark and placed an equal sign made of makeup over it, then went about
replacing the village ponies’ cutie marks with equal signs.
When she was exposed for this, it was revealed that she had been manipulating ponies, persuading
them to be equal.
She ascribed powers to a wooden staff to hide her use of magic while she was secretly stealing
cutie marks.
Had her followers not turned against her, she would have escaped with the Mane Six cutie
marks.
In the Season Five finale, she used a time spell created by Star Swirl the Bearded to
destroy the timeline of the Mane Six, becoming their friends to get back at Twilight for
ruining her plans.
Inadvertently, she created many alternate timelines.
Though Twilight was able to help her see the error of her ways and became a hero, it doesn’t
excuse her for the crimes she committed.
After it was proven how good she can be, however, we cut her some slack and sentenced her to
two years of community service.
CRIMES: THEFT OF CUTIE MARKS, MANIPULATION, AND ALTERNATING THE TIMELINE.
SENTENCE: 2 Years of Community Service
Next up on the stand will be the former luxury hotel owner, Gladmane.
Gladmane was a luxury hotel owner in Viva Las Pegasus who hosted everything from arcades,
theaters, and various floor shows.
However, it was soon revealed that Gladmane has been manipulating the ponies to hold them
at the hotel and keep them from moving on to bigger things.
He accomplished this by sabotaging the performer’s relationships and frequently changing their
acts to provoke arguments.
After he was exposed, he left the hotel in shame never to be seen again.
So for these crimes, we will sentence him to three years of community service.
We’re giving him a lesser sentence since he lost everything after he was found out.
So he had already gotten what he deserved.
CRIMES LISTED AS GRAPHIC: MANIPULATION AND SABOTAGE.
SENTENCE: 3 Years of Community Service
Next up will be Stygian, otherwise known as the Pony of Shadows.
The Pony of Shadows is a good ghost story told by ponies.
However, in the Season Seven finale, Stygian (Pony of Shadows) was revealed to be a real
historical figure.
He was originally a young colt that banded together the Pillars of Old Equestria to fight
a great evil, the Dazzlings.
While trying to copy the ancient artifacts to use against them, the Pillars banished
him, believing it to be an act of theft.
He became resentful, turning to darkness for revenge, and transformed into the Pony of
Shadows.
While it wasn’t good that he tried to copy ancient artifacts and turned into a dark monster
to destroy Equestria, he began with good intentions.
Giving him two month of community service would be a proper sentence for him.
CRIMES: COPYING ANCIENT ARTIFACTS AND DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.
SENTENCE: 2 months of Community Service
Next up will the head of the Equestrian Education Association or EEA, Chancellor Neighsay.
(pronounce - https://youtu.be/jWseuScHmbA?t=12 )
Chancellor Neighsay was the head of the EEA and oversaw all the schools in Equestria.
In Season Eight, he approved Twilight’s school under the condition that she follow
the book.
However, it was proven that he heavily discriminated against non-pony creatures.
He almost started a war between all creatures because of this and Twilight stood up against
him with Princess Celestia.
Twilight was able to keep her school in the end.
In the Season Eight finale, after he was betrayed by Cozy Glow, he realized he was wrong-headed,
and apologized to all creatures.
So we feel comfortable to give him a month of community service.
CRIMES LISTED AS GRAPHIC: PREJUDICE AND DISCRIMINATION.
SENTENCE: A month of Community Service
Our final villain on the stand will be the adorable but dangerous Cozy Glow.
Cozy Glow was introduced in Season Eight as a student in Twilight’s school.
In the Season Eight finale, however, she was revealed to be anything but nice.
She manipulated the Mane Six, Neighsay and the students to do her bidding, captured Starlight
and almost destroyed all the magic in Equestria so she could take over.
In the Series finale, she stole enough magic to become an alicorn and fought in the final
battle with Chrysalis and Tirek.
While she was turned to stone in the end along with Chrysalis and Tirek, do we feel like
she deserves a harsher sentence?
Actually no, we feel her sentence of becoming stone for eternity is a proper sentence for
her.
At least she’ll be with Tirek to ride it out.
CRIMES LISTED AS GRAPHIC: MANIPULATION, UNLAWFUL IMPRISONMENT, ATTEMPTED DESTRUCTION OF MAGIC,
AND DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.
SENTENCE: Stone For Eternity
