Suri Polomare: Equestria's Everyday Enemy

Perhaps the ultimate evil is staggering most of all for its utter banality and its mundane mediocrity. The Legion Of Doom combined entirely rotten dispositions and irredeemable personalities with limitless ambition and unreasoning malice. They were very obviously serious problems which needed to be dealt with. And of course, ultimately they most decisively were.

As for Suri Polomare, I know of no other pony, save Cozy Glow, who is as purely a psychopath. The difference is that Suri is a practical pony, she has contented herself with far more feasible goals. Suri wants neither to remake the world in her own image, nor to destroy it. Suri doesn't want to hurt you physically, she has just a faint whisper of the impulse control that tells her that some means are eventually self-defeating. And Suri is dead set on winning.

Suri wants to take the very special thing that you've finally earned, right out from under you, just as it comes into your grasp. Suri wants to use you to make herself look better, while seeing to it that no one who "matters" ever hears about you. Suri lies, cheats, steals and fawns in entirely self-serving ways, and for what? For the very same things that you want, but the concept of earning them honestly is alien and abhorrent to her.

Many of us may have met a Cozy Glow, but most of us never really did meet a Queen Chrysalis, or a Grogar, or a Lord Tirek. But most of us have met a Suri Polomare, whether or not we even realized it at the time. The Legion of Doom was defeated and neutralized. No pony ever did anything about Suri Polomare. Rarity chose to take the high road, because she had something of value with which to repay Coco Pommel for helping her. We allow the Suri Polomares to go on being awful. Suri's not much of a pony, she's more like us.

OK BUT DIDNT YOU SAID THAT YOU NEED FOUR PONIES ?!?!? WHY DIDNT YOU WAIT FOR THE FOURTH PONY

Watcher's Request: Grogar's Legion Of Doom

Thanks to Maurice347 for asking me to make this image.

If you don't know what evil is, your definition of good is meaningless. On the other hand, no pony who couldn't make for a fine enemy, is ever going to be much of a friend.

From the latest G5 MLP "Tell Your Tale" episode

[heckyeahponyscans]

These are from the G1 My Little Pony 'n Friends presskit. However, there are some oddities! Megan is in a different outfit, Spike has wings, Sparkler and Tirac don't appear in MLP 'n Friends, and Flutterbye isn't in any animated show.

But most intriguing to me is Danny, who has a totally different design and is older than the version we got.

This also confirms that this kid on the cover of Escape from Catrina is Danny:

Generally I think it's fun when older characters get reused or reinvented for a new generation but man, G4 Tirek is so lame.
