The idw comic is pretty much non canon at this point

[@QU33FA]

I wish this was canon I would of loved to see Amore restored in the show especially because she and cadence are distanced relatives and also just because she looked beautiful and they never actually reformed anyone since starlight so it would of been nice to have one more.

Ik it’s sad

[@jeremydabal9000]

I know me too 😭😔🥺😢

[@AntiVillain26845]

I actually liked his debut. Few lines/screentime or not - his actions made him look like the smartest, most-serious villain (and not just another reckless ham). That's why I prefer this version of his return, too. Sympathy angle or not, his villain phase is still cautious and serious.

[@theunknown1760]

Season 9 ruined his character I hate it

[@Micheal-d8o]

I love sombra butt the show did him dirty

[@jeremydabal9000]

No I believe that deep down There's still good in his heart

[@jcj268]

A popular headcanon is that Grogar/Discord revived Sombra’s Umbrum side which is what was destroyed in season 9 which means Sombra is still reformed

[@allme883]

Is there his back story in the movie?

[@scary-sounds]

An interesting headcanon

[@AntiVillain26845]

Either that, or Discord pulled a Mean 6. That ritual did look similar to how Chrysalis made them, and S9 Sombra did have an opposite personality. Plus, which Sombra did we actually see come-back through his horn? The Comic one, not the S9 one.

[@thekingofthievesganondorf1628]

Sombra is my fav i miss him at lest i know more about him

[@RainbowEssence-c3w]

Why is this not the canon?! T.T Damn, this is WAYYY better than Sombra just being evil and getting turned to stone along with Chrysalis and Cozy Glow! Thanks for making this video, ugh, this needs to be a movie. Sombra reminds me so much of Loki, too, he's of a race that is feared and generally considered chaotic evil but he is raised by a different race until one day he learns that he is actually a frost giant and turns evil (until he eventually gets redeemed).

[@chupacabraazul6669]

​@@TheZedThing Definitely. I find that Sombra was stupid for the sake of the plot in Season 9. He was supposed to be the cool, composed and calculating type as seen in his debut in Season 3. Instead they made him into an evil version of Prince Blueblood. The show really "Adam Taurused" Sombra in Season 9. In the comics, he was the most badass villain in the series. He defeated all the heroes and redeemed of his own accord, hardly lost his cool, did not laugh much, rarely smiled or bragged like an idiot. Rabia was also a cool villain with a great fear factor.

[@silversmoke4159]

@@chupacabraazul6669 agreed, They should stick to that Arc

[@mrchaos-mlp]

Please do Tempest next. Amazing work on this.

[@FoxNinja4000]

And then season 9's premier happens. I'd rather keep what the comics gave. :( If I can't have a reformed Sombra living happily with Hope and can only have an unforgivable evil villain who's fate is only to die then at least give a good reason to why he deserves such a grim fate. (His literal skull could be seen.) Hopefully we get a 4 to 6 part arc for the series finale with Grogar, Tirek, Chrysalis & Cozy Glow trying to take down the mane 6 get close but fail. As the mane 6 approach to take down Grogar as he is weak, angry & distracted with yelling out his frustrations at the heros I hope he gets turned to stone and shattered by Sombra who appears to reveal to not be dead but having a back-up plan in case he lost. Sombra has so much potential. I mean he survived the power of the elements once. Maybe he could do it again?

[@silversmoke4159]

I agree

[@AntiVillain26845]

Similar to how we'd rather keep what Star Wars Legends gave Luke.

@@AntiVillain26845 I compare these 2 of how the fans react to them in canon and season 9. So I don't blame you

[@ondrejkuba8101]

Yeah!! I was waited for it to the last minute every episode of S9 but the writer's fck on it and totally ruined it. It's like they didn't care what's happened in their own comics and they made a new story where's good ending only for goog-guys and for bad guys is just pain, frustration and aslo death. Even Fluttershy in one episode S9 said that everycreature (she meant bad guys too) deserve kindness. Clap clap really good example for children's Hasbro's writers👎👎👎

Is all this stuff cannon? Cause I watched the show. Not as well as some people but I'm pretty sure every episode Sombra was mentioned and this doesn't exactly fit in with what guys said. Not to mention it is before s9, A.K.A. Discord bringing back the villains, KS included, back, aired. So all this comic stuff cannon or alt reality

[@maggiedavis2425]

This is what actually happened? Dang it. I had been living under the impression that he was king of the unicorns before CELI and Luna took over and he got mad turned himself into an alicorn trying to take over equestria then star swirl the bearded cast his alicorn magic in to the dark amulet thingi and them banished him , then he went to the crystal empire and took it over but celi and Luna stoped him again and cast him to shadow (also while the empire disappeared) then he came back and twilight and her friends stopped him.
