Whos the better villain and why is it Nightmare Moon
>>42525628uh, cuz she's hot, and I like her, and she's pretty
Nightmare Moon barely existed in the show which means that fans get to build a massive fan idea of who she is a character that's infinitely more appealing than what they would've actually done with her if she was more present in the show.
>>42525628S5 finale proved that NMM did nothing wrong.Chryssi on the other hand would just cocoon everypony and turn them into a love battery.
>>42525628Chryssy, easilyNMM just shows up then runs away to her castle and dies the moment somepony shows upChryssy successfully imprisons an Allicorn, infiltrates the highest levels of Equestrian government, launches a coup, encircles and invades the Equestrian capital and defeats a SECOND AllicornNMM couldn't even beat ONE Allicorn and ate shit for a thousand fucking years when she tried
>>42526181>imprisons an alicorn Cadence is a unicorn. Alicorns like Twilight get outperformed by Starlight.
>>42526233Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is an Allicorn and you're a gay.Starlight outperforms Allicorns because she is also an S tier villain, like Chryssy, whereas NMM is a shitty villain who can't even do that.
>>42526181>Chryssy successfully imprisons an Allicorn, infiltrates the highest levels of Equestrian government, launches a coup, encircles and invades the Equestrian capital and defeats a SECOND AllicornThis becomes completely unimpressive when you include the fact that she was only able to do anything thanks to everyone else being made into 30IQ animals to accommodate her awful planning.
>>42526801>30IQ animalsSo normal ponies then

>designBoth high-tier. Snooty has beauty in relative simplicity, but Chryssi's comparatively busy design still works very well. I'd lean towards Chryssi on this one, mostly on account of her novelty factor and her fun little details.>voiceBoth good, but Chryssi's reverb is too choice to not hand her this one.>overall theme/aestheticsHard to go wrong with an angsty goth sorceress. Classic archetype, and it works as well as always for Snooty. That said, a race of shapeshifting insectoid love vampires is a very novel and fun concept. Incredibly tough choice, but I think Snooty wins by an inch.>inherent evilnessChryssi, unquestionably. Depending on who you ask, Snooty is either just a would-be despot with a chip on her withers, or Luna having a psychotic episode that she can't be held entirely responsible for. Chryssi has no morality whatsoever and cannot be reasoned with. She is, as they say, a gigantic cunt.>ability to plot, scheme, plan, etcThey're both terrible at this and I don't want to embarrass them by going into detail. Moving on.>motiveLet's consult our scientific measurement system: the villain motive tier list. Snooty sits squarely at High Tier (villains retaliating against misdeeds done to them, and who may be seeking to change society as a whole). Chryssi canonically sits at Shit Tier (villains who are just evil or lust for power), and can only be pulled up as high as Mid Tier (villains who are only obeying their nature and doing what they must to survive) with some charitable fan readings about the nature of changelings and how much they might need love in order to survive. Sorry, bugbutt.>overall quality of canon appearancesSnooty barely gets enough material to grade her on; she has about eleven minutes of time on screen throughout all nine seasons. Chryssi comes in quite strong in ACW then drops off sharply afterwards (not her fault, blame late season rot). I guess we can only really compare their 'focus episodes'. Chryssi wins that comparison by a fair margin.>power levelI'm not touching this one. Call it a draw.>fan content potentialBoth of them live and die on what the fans made of them, since neither of them saw anything near their full potential in canon. Chryssi has inspired a lot of people to fill in the swiss cheese leg holes in the whole concept of the changeling race and how the 'love vampire' thing works, so she scores high, but Snooty takes it far higher. Moon angst is an entire genre of fan content all its own, and it's been going strong since day one.So, to tally up:>Snooty: better in 3 arbitrary categories>Chryssi: better in 4 arbitrary categoriesSorry, moonfriend, but you've been defeated by entirely objective and completely scientific facts and logic. Not by much, though.
>>42526879>no sex appeal categoryOpinion discarded
>>42527051It wouldn't change the verdict, regardless.
>>42527081True, but I just enjoy seeing people admit Chryssi is the sexiest mare in all of Equestria
>>42526879>fan content potentialEveryone seems to fucking suck at worldbuilding no matter how much time they put into it, especially in Black Snooty's case. Out of all the fics I've read, not one does her justice. The one fic I've read that makes Bugbutt and the changelings as a whole interesting and engaging is a damn 40gay crossover.
>>42526879>They're both terrible at thisNMM sperged out because ponies sleep at night, but she did plan for 1000 years to depose her sister. Then she jobbed to five friends and a sixth they had just met because her sister planned ahead and studied ancient prophecies.Chrysalis infiltrated the nation's capitol, replaced a new princess who was slated to be the leader of an entire subjugated puppet nation, brainwashed the head of the imperial legion, infiltrated an entire army into the capitol, and was bested only because Celestia's prophetic messiah could sus out her former foalsitter being a completely different pony. Then, she managed to take over and replace every single pony in a position of power overnight, but that ends up looking less impressive because it was a contrived plot for poochie to save the day with other hated characters and Trixie. NMM jobbed out and only ever did anything past committing untreated self-harm for years in an alternate poochie-created universe where the prophesy was never fulfilled. Chrysalis managed two major operations, and only got a reputation for incompetence after she lost everything including her own hive and was reduced to a shitty season 8 episode where nobody recognized the pale evil clones were slightly mean versus the real ponies they were mimicking. By virtue of having two (temporary as they were) victories rather than arguably ZERO, there is only one clear winner here.
Being evil villain due to envy < Being evil due to innate nature
>>42526820Tbf, I'm about to kill her for sandwich meat
>>42525628>Jobber Moon>only lasts for two episodes>Queen Chadalis>lasted more episodes and infiltrated Equestria easilyNo contest.
