My favorite kind of villains are those who started out as regular everyday people, but something bad happened like they lost a loved one or some aspect of society ruined their lives. Those kind of villains are the most compelling and they're easy to understand why they turned evil. I like Mr Freeze. His motives are just to save his wife.

Wolfee I'm planning in making a bully oc, he bullies he main character but only because the bullies unfaithful girlfriend left him to get with the main character, the bully feels it's he main characters fault, but it's in fact the bullies girlfriend's fault, the bullies girlfriend ends up using the main character and than breaking up with him to get with the bullies best friend

[@Tall_Order]

Sounds cool. Some of my favorite characters in stories started out as bullies. If you've ever heard of Bulk and Skull from the power rangers they started out as high school bullies, transitioned into junior cops, then detectives, then they pretended to be the power rangers in order to heroically protect the identities of the real power rangers. I like when a character has multiple dimensions to them. :D

My OC, Dark Obsidian, is a villain as he was trained by King Sombra for most of his life. When he was abandoned at the age of 8 due to the lack of pay and the foal support debt increasing, he was adopted and taken in by King Sombra to be trained and created into his new heir. However after 13 long years, Obsidian did not become exactly like Sombra as he looked at him like a father. It came time when King Sombra sealed away Obsidian in crystal deep within the depths of the castle as he battled and lost with the Princesses. Obsidian remained dormant upon his return 1000 years into the future. Before being defeated by the light and love of the Crystal Heart, Sombra had teleported Obsidian in a last ditch effort knowing that he and Obsidian couldn't withstand with the Heart's magic. It was a short time after the events of The Crystal Empire after returning consciousness in the North, at a distance from the Empire, The young stallion knew he couldn't return to the Empire and also grew a hatred for whoever was responsible for King Sombra's demise and swore someday he'll return to take his rightful place on the throne. Until then, He hides in plain sight and bides his time to strike. The story doesn't end here, over time he began to see the good in the time he was revived in, allowing himself to become more open and confident to take on whatever comes, As long as his abilities and past remain hidden.

One of my favorite villains is a cat named Scourge from Warriors by Erin Hunter. He was bullied by his siblings as a kit and attacked by Tigerstar when he was still Tigerpaw (an apprentice). All of this made his anger and power grow. His followers feared him, doing what he said without question (except Barely, but then again, Barely was always a rebel). When Tigerstar approached him, asking for an alliance to take over the forest, Scourge agreed. Then, when Tigerstar was about to begin his plan of concurring the forest, Scourge betrayed him and took away all nine lives with one swoop. This action terrified the forest cats, and when firestar was walking around, persuading the other clans to fight, leopardstar clearly stated that she didn't want to, after what happened to Tigerstar. She thought Scrouge would kill her and leave Riverclan, her clan, (who had just merged with shadowclan) at scourge's mercy, since she knew shadowclan wouldn't help them. Scourge was a terrifying villan for readers and characters of the story alike. his weakness was that he didn't believe in starclan and couldnt receive the nine lives they bless to good leaders. I was actua;y hoping for redemption for the guy. too bad the Erin's just had to kill him off.

I have a "villain" oc that I've been working on recently and I think it's pretty good. Her name is Melissa, and she's not really the "bad guy" in this case, but more of a bully. So Melissa is half demon-half mortal. She lives and grew up with her father, who is a demon, to train her in dark magic. Melissa doesn't like her father or that she's part demon. She wishes she could go to Earth and make friends with mortals, but is afraid of what might happen to her if she does. The "good guy" is a half angel Alexandra. She is actually quite similar to Melissa. She grew up with her father who has the power of nature and practiced this power, making beautiful gardens with her favorite flowers, sunflowers. Alex very often visits her mother on Earth and doesn't listen to her father's demands. She wants to make friends with mortals because she's bored of always being around other angels and gods and just wants to meet new people, but her mother stops her. Melissa, jealous that Alex is an angel and is always considered good makes fun of her and destroys her gardens because, while she hates being a demon, she is afraid of what will happen if she disobeys her father and how she'll look in front of her friends being nice to an angel. I only recently made these ocs so some constructive criticism and ideas would be nice :)

Not really. Borderlands is one of those franchises that sets out a character who may seem like they're bad, only to then flip what you thought later on and show you that the true villains are the people you're working for. Moxxxie, Scooter, Marcus, and the original vault hunters of the franchise are the actual villains because they were the ones who turned Jack into what he is in Borderlands 2.

[@l0tusb3rrie]

I do have a villain character. His name is Paradox and he is an arena dragon, a nightfury to be precise. He's the antagonist of the story because of his desire of being the strongest dragon in the arena he was forced to be raised in when he was just a hatchlings, and wants to see the protagonist go down because she was the only dragon that could defeat him once and escaped the arena later, something he never managed to do before she was brought in. It's not very solid and it still hasn't have a final design but I'm working on it

Thank you for making this video it’s a big help! I have been building a Villain Alicorn oc. Her name is Insania (Latin for insanity) even thought this wasn’t her name in the beginning. She forced the change after being possessed by and evil spirit jormungand who was sealed away 1000 and 1000 of years before, in an amulet. Beatus (Latin for happiness and joy), insania, was the youngest from her royal family, an older brother who was next in line for the throne, then her parents. But her childhood wasn't good depict her loving brother. She was neglected by the kingdom and out casted, ponies would speak to her out of fear for being punished by the king and queen (beatus's parents, they are rulers of a oc kingdom). But her brother stayed by her side, and did what he could ignore his father. But after he passed away for illness. Beatus was left alone. And she started to leave the kingdom exploring distant ruins. That is where she finds Jormungand, and a prophecy of her future. She didn't want to believe it but as time passed temptation grew and she was soon possessed by the amulet. And is now seeking revenge, on the surrounding kingdoms. But there is a deeper motivation to Insania, which Jormungand held her hostage for, she never wants to be forgotten. That is the basic idea I can type without it being a novel. XD but thanks to the video I can think more into her passed and ideas.

[@rosedougherty7565]

That is a very well thought-out backstory, but I thought of a few things you could improve upon. The names your OC has are fitting for her character, but they're a bit... obvious, I suppose? What I mean is that being a bit more creative would sound better. The idea for the names themselves are good (I'm actually learning Latin) but could be improved if you used the Latin word as a base, or combined more than one word without it being too long or awkward.

[@MemeCMuir]

Cool backstory, it's sad tho. ):

[@verdynerd24]

Oh thank you. ^-^ Im glad you like it. sorry its sad, i couldn't help it XD but thanks again.

I think "antagonist" better fits the title. An opposing force that hinders the protagonist and keeps them from their goal. A soccer rival wouldn't necessarily be evil, they just want to win the game.

[@mayyoder3648]

MSOR Agreed ^u^

[@Tyandaga]

Oh absolutely, but at the same time, as a video maker, I have to make the video more interesting for people to click on it ;p. "How to make a great antagonist" doesn't have the same appeal as "How to make a great villain" or "How to make a great evil character" ;p

[@NoLongerTwee]

Either way it gets the point across. You could explain it within the video as well but, again, it still works

[@Kyugorn]

@Tyandaga "Wanting more views" simply isn't a good enough excuse to use a less accurate title, which means you fail.

[@thelosergod]

I have a villain oc, and he pretty much goes along with all the tips you pointed out here; strengths, weaknesses, a backstory, reason to be evil, etc. But there's something else too. In his story, he convinced his friends to be on his side, you know, doing the evil stuff they do, but I'm not sure if this would have him be considered over-powered, or even nudge him towards the Mary-Sue direction. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't feel as though I'm doing something right.

[@applegump]

I believe the gravemind from the Halo franchise takes the cake as one of my all-time favorite villains. The gravemind is cunning, intellegent, strategic, poetic.

[@scorchinglizard]

Mayachi I can see how you can argue how Hawkfrost isn't evil, since all he wanted was to make his father and Clan proud of him. I can also see how you could think Mapleshade isn't evil, even if I disagree with it ((I mean she WAS really confused and filled with grief)). But how can you say that Scourge was just confused? I would like it if you could explain that to me. As for Tigerstar, he knew exactly what he was doing, and didn't find it wrong in any way. His way of power was immoral, and there's nothing else to that. He was never confused on anything. He could've been one of the greatest leaders if it wasn't for Pinestar and Thistleclaw, along with Goosefeather probably.

You forgot a very important type of villain; the force of nature villain. These types of villains are much harder to write about as they are trapped within their ways such as the Joker. But the villain should also bring out the best of the hero as well. But either way, nicely done. Another angle to consider is the idea of evil for the sake of evil but to remember as an example of why that is evil. Imagine, if you will, there are worldly conditions that aren't really discussed but are pretty clear to see. That type of villain would crank that concept up, exposing the underline evil to bring it to attention while defending the idea. The name would go down with scorn for what they have done yet without their influence things would be a lot worse. Sometimes, the evilest thing one can do is to watch evil be done without doing anything. I actually made a lot villains. I have to say the best one would actually be a character that was cast out at a young age due to traditions however they found a much more advanced society and learning their ways through observation. That character returned to unite the torn land in a bloody revolution. After being betrayed so many times, it was clear that only the villain can trust only themselves causing some paranoia but focusing on their own power until the land was prosperous. Though trying to have a peaceful rule, their species were built for combat and get bored very easily. Seeing other lands that would benefit under the villain, believing that they are a hero, attempted to assimilate the other lands under their rule. The offer was refused yet they could not simply stand by seeing how much the other lands are suffering from water, food, and so on. Despite the efforts to have the people of the land defect, there really wasn't an option left. To prevent prolonged suffering, the villain's forces were gathered to invade their neighbors. Emotions had to be locked away while displaying bravery to the troops, pain to keep hidden, all while making sure everybody was provided what is needed. Word quickly spread of "the evil forces" that the villain had and was seen as a warmongering tyrant. Naturally that is the super short story. But when testing that character, people liked that villain a lot.

I have a cliched evil clone OC. But she has developed so much over the years that she's become one of my favorite characters that I own.

[@MelodicDragon97]

The villains in my story just want the world to be a better place. There are three of them, working together. One of them is from a place that's similar to Starlight Glimmer's (except they aren't pretending to be happy, they just...exist). She never experienced the power of freedom until the second of the villains arrived to stand against her leader, so she left to follow him thereafter. The aforementioned second villain was from a place that was pretty much the opposite of the first one's. His leader was a complete pushover. Outsiders saw the leader's "vulnerability" and sought to conquer the land. They were unsuccessful, but in the fight, the second villain's father was murdered. He was furious. He spent his life seeing his leader excuse countless misdeeds, but his father's death was crossing the line, so he decided to be the one who stands up for what's right and punishes evildoers, to be everything his leader failed to be. But he takes it to the extreme, killing others for petty crimes. The third was born of parents that were from separate backgrounds at war with each other. His father gave up being with his mother before he was born, and therefore never knew he existed. He was raised by his mother, who halfway resented him for his father's abandonment. He gladly left his mother because of that, and since he was alone after leaving her, he found guidance and acceptance from the first two villains, and he's more than happy to take out his pent-up anger on the "criminals" they're up against. All three of are basically committing crimes to stop others from committing crimes. 2/4 of the protagonists happened to be on hit list (one used to be a thief, and the other used to be on the villain's side and is considered a traitor).

[@jakepulley8155]

I kind of half agree with the whole motivation thing. If you want to make your villain sympathetic (The Ice King from Adventure time) then yes, backstory and motivation is almost mandatory. But then you have the other type of villain. The one's that just love to cause Chaos with nothing likeable about them. While this may seem inferior to the other type of villain initially, it works in creating someone who can really give the protagonist a run for their money and a real challenge. This type of villain works best when motivation and back story are shrouded in mystery, never giving the audience a true grip on what they are doing this for, which makes them all the more menacing. Heck, Disney made an entire brand with this archetype. What motivations did we ever get from The stepmother, Maleficent, Ursula, Jafar or Scar (and don't give me that Taka crap because those books were not made by anyone who worked on the original movie and should be given the same merit as FanFiction). Yet we see them as some of the greatest villains in film history? In conclusion, giving your villain a clear back story and motivation all depends on how you want you're audience to feel about them.

Honestly, I plan on a series which questions who's "good". After all clans think what their doing is right. But a quote from a character, icicle, "who's right if we can't-and will never decide who's right?" Since how do you know if you're the good one, if others think your bad... But you think you're intentions are good..? Also who "chooses" who is right..

[@FiveFoxesInATrenchcoat]

Rorrx It's going to be a Warriors story? What's it called? I'm working on a crossover fanfiction where it's also kind of hard to tell who's the good guys. If you have Wattpad, one of the books is called The Price Of Freedom.

My favourite villain ? I think flowey

[@Natt0chi]

This is because I think that he has one of the simplest yet compelling backstory he is also not entirely evil in the end of the true pacifist we find out that he is actually Asriel Dreemurr the prince of the underground and he just wants to keep you here with him because he thinks your his Best Friend showing that he does have some good in him he just shows it wrongly and also cuz he's soulless and can't feel love another thing is that he remembers everything from his past life and therefore blamed himself for not fighting back and getting killed and making him adapt the kill or be killed outlook of life But is is my opinion like if u agree but if u don't then that's alright we all got our opinions

I'm working on a villan OC as we speak. I was inspired by Nightmare Moon which I have been working very hard on. This is including her backstory, why she does what she does, her weaknesses and strength, and much more.

[@thanetastic5608]

I believe there is one MASSIVE thing that we should also try to do when coming up with a “villain”: know the difference between VILLAIN and ANTAGONIST, as not all antagonists are necessarily evil, but villains are. An antagonist is a character who gets in the way of a protagonist’s (wether major or minor) goals, like the star athlete from the other high school that Ty mentioned. Remembering this can go a long way into making a good villain OR antagonist, at least in my eyes.

[@dekelneedstime411]

I need a review on a villain I'm developing, please: So, her name's Kara and she is evil because THE THING that pretends to be her mother raised her to be this way and thus Kara can't differ right from wrong and is constantly asking THE THING what to do in every situation. Eventually, Kara realizes that what she is doing is wrong, but her "mother" keeps telling her that what momma says is completely right and naturally Kara develops a dependent and controllable personality that only THE THING can control :) I know THE THING is technically the villain, but even when THE THING's gone Kara keeps doing what she was taught was right. Is it okay?

[@derpagr6376]

My evil character is named Queen Nethervain. She was actually my first official OC ever from a few years ago. She was born in the overworld, but she always experienced other overworld dwellers hurting and attacking innocent things, so, being a little child, she thought that was okay, so she did the same. Right before she died, she realized that it was wrong to do such things, and when she passed on, she had an afterlife with many kind creatures and citizens of the nether. Her motivation is to protect her fellow citizens from foreigners. However, from years of endlessly punishing harmful foreigners, she eventually forgot that some foreigners are not harmful, and much more helpful, and now she just attacks any stranger, thinking they are evil. Oh wow uh yeah I really get into this stuff...

I have a mlp oc her name is 'Snow Fall'. Snow Fall is a child. When she was a about 4 or 5 she was playing and walking on the ice of the rivers, when the ice suddenly cave in and she fell though. She was all alone and no one head her yells and cry, ended up drowning in the icy rivers. Be careful when around her, Snow Fall will ask you "Hello can you please play with me?" If you say yes she'll thank you and show you her ball that she plays with all the time, but if you say no she'll me devastated and walk back with her head down. Ok back to if you said yes, she'll show you her ball and tell you about her "game" she made. The game is you roll around her ball and if it stop you lose (no matter what YOU always will lose if the ball stops), but the thing you have to do isn't very nice. When you lose she'll say "uh oh......you lost!" Very happy and then ice from the lake will from around you until the only thing showing is your face. She'll then being making the ice tighter and thicker.....

[@minionfan6242]

.....but if you ask her in time "why are you doing this?!" She'll snap out of it loosening the ice she'll then continue to say "I'm sorry I just wanted some pony to play with....." (If I didn't say she died in her birthday and she only comes out on her birthday) "it's my birthday ya know.....I-I just wanted to play with some pony for ever and not be alone!" If you forgive her she'll let you go and if you down she won't be sorry for you, she will thicken and tighten the ice slowly putting you into a painful death. Sorry if she sounds like a Merry Sue :P

Ive made a villian oc im quite proud of! Her name is Crystal Snatcher, her reason to be a villain is her cutiemark and her parents teachings. When she was a child her parents taught her to be rude and evil and her cutiemark is a black crystal. her job is too steal any crystals she sees, but you may be asking..how is that bad? its because, Crystal also wants the Crystal heart and other important shiny things. Her fear is meeting or getting defeated by the Mane 6 or Celestia and Luna, her actions may be bad..but her intentions are harmless and nothing evil at all. Crystal doesnt see herself as a villain and more like a hero, after all, shes only doing what her parents and cutiemark tells her to do.

[@flufflepuff2320]

I'm making a fan season of Total Drama, and your videos are helping me, this one helped me make the villain named Spike, who's a fighter that is super hyped to win the contest, now time to work on the rest

[@gangrene9897]

Motives are a hard thing for me, especially when it's on the level I'm trying to go with. He wants nothing more than to see Equestria fall, but I haven't come up with a good reason. A lack of sanity wouldn't make sense, because he's logical most always. Vengeance wouldn't warrant attempted genocide. The best thing I can come up with is fear: His rampage starts when Nightmare Moon finds attacks him instead of the Mane 6. He's had serious unbroken stealth, and he *fears* what will happen when that's broken. Thus he retaliates with power stronger than thought, not enough to instantly kill Nightmare Moon, but enough to make her reform from terrorising entirely in one night. However his cover is truly blown when the battle finds it's way into Canterlot's sights, forcing him to retreat. But then his retreat is taken to a new level of *fear* and redirects him back to Canterlot when he runs into a threat wielding guns. At this point, he decides to start killing Canterlot's residence, until those previously mentioned gunners catch up with him. His brief rampage is ended with death, followed by a mind-controlling revival. The problem is that *fear* cannot justify his second attack. Nor can a non-existent lack of sanity. Would you say that it's him simply going mad with newfound power? I can't think of anything else worthwhile adding at the moment.

[@swanfeathertheelder]

This kind of inspired me to do three villain OCs - Wave, Wink, and Wyvern. All three are cats, and are siblings. They are all black with white chests. Wyvern is a she-cat and is kind of the leader of the group, while Wave and Wink are he-cats and are kind of followers of Wyvern, with friendly competition between one another. Wink is the youngest, while Wyvern is the oldest. They were born into a cat family that lived in city streets. They also used to have two other siblings - Whisper and Whip, who were, again, black with a white chest. Their mother, Ryganda, was a black cat with a white muzzle, and their father, DJ, was completely black. DJ got all the food and gave all the love to his kits, while Ryganda hunted for herself and almost entirely ignored the kits, seeing them as only helpers to help her rise to power among all other city cats one day. However, one night while Ryganda was away and again trying to negotiate with other cats to organize a cat group (she did this a lot), humans raided the cat family's alley that they lived in. DJ and Whisper were killed, while Wink and Whip were wounded. Whip died of his wounds, while Wink survived. Wyvern was extremely depressed by this point. When her mother came back, she acted as though it wasn't a big deal that half her family died, and left Wyvern and her two remaining siblings for dead. However, Wyvern, although she wasn't physically strong, had a way with words, and had some sort of power in them that no one could explain. She could have used this power to bring the world together had she been raised right - but, instead, she used it for self-gain. She talked to a dog, spilling horrible lies along with horrible truths about her mother, and her face and her powerful words almost brainwashed the dog, who set out to kill Wyvern's mother. He did manage to catch Ryganda and kill her. Wyvern went on to become one of the most powerful cats in the land, with her two brothers backing her only for two reasons: They were the only family that each of them had left, and plus, Wyvern could easily get food by convincing prey to kill themselves. Anyone who wronged Wyvern was quickly killed by people she brainwashed through her words. The three siblings have no true home, but wander around the land, strutting their authority and power everywhere. They don't have much physical strength, but Wyvern's powerful words are enough to give them almost too much power.

First off,!I love your videos and art!! Second off, my favorite villain is a man called Zane Ro'meave. He was bullied by his brothers, verbally abused by his father, and hated by the society in which he lived him. All he wanted in life was for his father to accept him, which was his motivation. All the pain he went through drove him insane in the end and someone took his life. I personally love his personality and weaknesses, and him as a whole.

I've got an idea for a new group of villains. You know how Celestia had an apprentice before Twilight right? But she's not the only one. Here's my backstory on this group of villains here. A few years ago, a young boy from the human realm ends up getting separated from his sisters in a time rift paradox. He ended up in Equestria, grieving at the loss of his family, all alone, with no one to talk to. And yes, Daniel's still a human in Equestria. Anyways, Luna finds him alone on a stormy night, and decided to raise him as her son. Daniel wanted to unleash a new persona hiding within him. So Luna decided to train him to become her own guardian. But Daniel wasn't the only human to land in Equestria to become a guardian. 11 other human children seek Luna to help them become braver people. But these 12 teens weren't aware of what lies in store for them. I'll give out the names of these people in my next comment.

Also, history is written by the winners, so villains could actually be the actual good person, being correct to the reader's ethical beliefs.

I have a very great antagonist OC named Odium. He's an anthropomorphic grey wolf who has an intense, yet honorable hatred for injustice of any kind, as well as those who cause it. He was tricked into going after the Mane Six, Starlight, and Discord for their perceived misdeeds for years by an old seer before she died of old age right in front of him, traumatizing him. He doesn't have any magical or (in my other antagonist's case) technological abilities, but he does have years of martial arts, experience, skill, and a magic-proof bo-staff, all of which were given to him by the same seer. His motivation for doing any of this is for the greater good of others and to not let them suffer or let those who caused their suffering get away with it. What do you think?

[@marionette8739]

I have an amoral human, turned eldritch abomination, turned vacationing entity... after he assimilated the omniverse, and restoring it.

this vid just legit inspired me to write AN ENTIRE PARAGRAPH about my villain oc THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@princesscadance197]

My approach with my writings is to avoid the glaringly obvious, “I’m evil, I want to take over the world!” Trope. On one side, one of the brothers stresses and supports order and structure, but the other brother feels order and structure is too much of a catalyst to becoming a dictator, so he wishes to liberate those the former rules over. The other feels that being completely liberated, no sense of order leads to anarchy, that humanity is unable to function without order. Neither is inherently evil or good. Just depends on the viewer’s convictions.

[@ferretzim8694]

I had an idea for an evil caracter in MLP. Here's the backstory: *2000 years ago there lived a young colt named Solar Constellation in a city then outside of Equestria. he showed a great interest in the sun, moon, and the stars, and would map out every constellation he could see with a telescope. However, when a few years later this city became part of equestria, an institute was built, and he started studying the new Equestrian books there. But as he read more books, and learned more and more, he gained the attention of the Royal sisters, who had heard about this gifted young unicorn. One day whilst studying, he was visited by the two rulers. He greeted them and asked them what may have brought their presence here. When the said they wished to speak to him, he led them to his private study to have their conversation, not as a subject speaking to it's ruler, but rather like a student wishing to discuss with a professor. There, he shared all the knowledge he had gained all these years. However, while Luna found this quite admirable and an impressive feat, Celestia started to grow conserned when she heard he showed interest in arcane magic of the highest sort, like moving the sun and moon to ones heart content. To further monitor his progress, he became a student of Celestia and Luna, and continued to gain power. This all came to the point that Celestia really feared he might become too dangerous, and wanted to isolate him, as he had recently shown extreme prowess, performing a ritual, briefly summoning elementals. After convincing her sister, they both used their powers to seal him away, not on the sun or moon, as that wouldn't hold. They sealed him in the solar eclipse, ensuring he would never return... ... But alas, by banishing him in fear he might become a monster, they created the monster. Sealed away for hundreds of years, his resentment for Celestia has grown along with his power. His name is Solaris Eclips, and he will return*

[@jessrepp6725]

Meh, I rarely ever answer questions in videos like this, but why not! My favorite villain is Vladimir Makarov from Call of Duty. He's cool and collected, as well as incredibly through with his methods, always escaping long before anyone even knows he's been there and is long gone by the time they do, pulling off ambitious plots and somehow always having a man on the inside so there is no possibility of failure (until he screws up and one of his ex-allies survives an execution, ultimately resulting in his demise). I've made a few villains, one of my favorites being an MLP character named Sharpshot who appears to be an alicorn, but is really a Pegasus wearing a fake horn that she uses for intimidation and, occasionally, close range attacks. Another of my favorites is Aurik Weiss-Jager, who is a 1930's German captain in the SS, who, despite being arrested by the protagonist and held inside a concentration camp he was supposed to help run, still manages to be menacing and resorts to desperate attempts to attack the protagonists guards and companions in hopes of escaping and telling the country that one of the SS members (the protagonist) has gone rogue.

[@CitraStitches]

My villain is a stocky Pegasus who could never fly very well. Her name is Sky Quill, as she's a writer. She finds a secret enchanted quill that makes whatever she writes with it real. So to make everyone equal, she decides to turn all ponies into earth ponies so one race isn't above the others. Actually I have an entire cast of characters helping her. Some, like her best friend Hotshot, hate it. Others, like Scarlet Snowflake and Candy Catch egg her on. Magnus is the only non pony and he has been mocked and tormented by ponies his whole life. Unless you count Whisper, who is a kelpie. She hates what they're doing too.

[@blitzn00dle50]

criticism for your villain: why is this person the villain? she made at least the majority of the population equal, right? maybe there's something to be said about making everyone earth ponies to do this, but that's a whole different can of worms involving supernatural talent and whether it'll be used for good or evil. by making race differences actually matter, you are divorcing the story from reality, and at that point it ceases to be about friendship. now, if you're stretching MLP much beyond its original framework then by all means, write a story about hopelessly depressing hypotheticals where racist rhetoric has scientific backing. just include a disclaimer that your story isn't rooted in reality. the point is, having a fighter for equality be your bad guy sounds like pro-hierarchy propaganda and I'm sure you're not a eugenicist and don't want it to come off that way

[@archirdarchernar]

Of course the alicorn is the antagonist. Thank you so much for making this kind of antagonist as I don't really see it often. Villains always seem to be the straightforward killing people AHEM ponies or corrupting them, torturing them etc. I find these non straightforward villains more appealing because the story would contain a lot more content and drama... Totally entertaining.

my favourite villains: Scourge and Sol from warrior cats, their personalities are just captivating and I always get the need to read more about them, I was so darn sad when Scourge was ultimately defeated so quickly :c what made Scourge such a great character and villain was his calm and calculating nature, he planned his betrayal for years and despite being tiny he succeeded his quest of killing that sworn enemy of his, who didn't even know he was his enemy XD (sorry for being so vague I don't want to put too many spoilers into this) and Sol was just so... well he always made me laugh, because he pretended to know stuff that he actually didn't and everyone believed him on that, and if they didn't he referred to that one time when he actually did know what would happen. He was always like "Well, I could tell you, but why should I?" I'm actually working on creating a villain character and your video helped me a lot ^^ I want my character to be as witty and smart as my favourite villains :D

Holly Kick as an antagonist was mostly someone who was ticked off with Moonlit Tide ditching her for Shining Pearl and Stargazing. She basically used her potion knowledge to scare Shining Pearl and prove a point to Moonlit Tide.

True being bad is good. Without evil what is good? Without villains there is no good,no ones a hero,you could even say everyone's a villain.So you must have the wrong doer for a good doer.Also,villains aren't really villains tbh.They just think,like everypony, they r doing the right thing when thy really aren't
