Whos the better villain and why is it Nightmare Moon
>>
>>42525628
uh, 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.

>>42525628
S5 finale proved that NMM did nothing wrong.
Chryssi on the other hand would just cocoon everypony and turn them into a love battery.

Chryssy, easily
NMM just shows up then runs away to her castle and dies the moment somepony shows up
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 Allicorn
NMM couldn't even beat ONE Allicorn and ate shit for a thousand fucking years when she tried

>imprisons an alicorn
Cadence is a unicorn.
Alicorns like Twilight get outperformed by Starlight.

Princess 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.

This 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.

>design
Both 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.

>voice
Both good, but Chryssi's reverb is too choice to not hand her this one.

>overall theme/aesthetics
Hard 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 evilness
Chryssi, 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, etc
They're both terrible at this and I don't want to embarrass them by going into detail. Moving on.

>motive
Let'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 appearances
Snooty 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 level
I'm not touching this one. Call it a draw.

>fan content potential
Both 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 categories
Sorry, moonfriend, but you've been defeated by entirely objective and completely scientific facts and logic. Not by much, though.

True, but I just enjoy seeing people admit Chryssi is the sexiest mare in all of Equestria

>fan content potential
Everyone 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.

>They're both terrible at this
NMM 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.
