Description
For those of you who missed out on getting it, here’s the Reformed Windigo in-game model and description. It comes with five stars and uses the “Princess” body type, so it’ll sometimes generate element shards despite not having visible wings.

Having spoken with some people who interrogated/had long sit-downs in prison with folks like drug lords, members of Saddam’s secret police, rapists, and murderers, all of whom were completely unrepentant and 100% delighted with what they’d done – yeah. Some people don’t see or even understand why what they did was ‘wrong’ (note, sample spoilered for being utterly vile) like the drug lord who had the 12-year-old daughter of a man who was going to testify against him kidnapped, raped, and killed before her body was nailed to his front door; he thought the whole thing worthy of a good chuckle. How do you even reach someone like that?

Killing a show doesn’t just mean the show coming to an end. If they are not careful, they will kill the show’s image. So instead of being able to look back at the show fondly, people will look back at how they screwed it up at the end.
the one that escaped their mass execution
The Pinkie clones aren’t dead. One of them cameoed in The Saddle Row Review.
Unfortunately that probably doesn’t count (like all those poor Pinkie clones).
murder isn’t murder if they’re not “real” equestrians

Considering we only have two seasons left, this sort of comment kinda rings hollow these days.
Well, technically six golems, but the point stands.

I’m aware of that. But people have grouped jerk characters along with the more extreme villains before since they function as antagonists of their respective episodes, just on different scales. Characters like Gilda and Diamond Tiara having a change in heart is still a character having a change in heart even though they’re not evil villains.
her’s was good, but i’ll always be very partial to discord’s. it was so neat to see an intently unethical “reformation”, where literally the only reason he’s changing is for the sake of one single person, he and everyone around him knows it, but over the course of all this they all actually do find some common ground with one another. they didn’t actually attempt to justify anything, or make him very (if at all) sympathetic; it was just a story where shit just happens with characters.
Gilda never was a villain, just a jerk and petty criminal. Kinda silly to even put her in the same list.

Chrysalis concerns me. I don’t give a crap about “reform ’em all” policy, but villain decay is a real problem, and seeing villains that used to be a real menace just reduced to clowning around is just painful and sad.
And to the conversation below about reforming villains, I’m gonna share my true thoughts again:
As long as Chrysalis is redeemed, I don’t care what they do to the other antagonists. The only villains I can see as evil forever are Tirek, Storm King and Principal Cinch.
Luckily, Tempest Shadow was handled MUCH better.
I’m aware of it’s flaws, but it’s one of my favorite movies of 2017.
yeah, i read the fiendship one. i actually really liked his origin story. that really abrupt and cheap redemption rubbed me the wrong way though. it was a classic case of a non-sympathetic character with a sympathetic past being treated as a sympathetic character.
I enjoyed it for what it was, yeah. It had its problems, sure, but it was fun.
Main Universe!Sombra: in the comics, he’s resurrected by his childhood friend Radiant Hope, and leads a successful takeover of the Crystal Empire. But finding out he’d been manipulated by his own mother and seeing how depressed Radiant Hope had become over everything that had transpired, he powers up the Crystal Heart instead of destroying it, forcing the Umbrum back into their prison and killing himself. A last second intervention by Celestia and Radiant resurrect him, but now as a regular pony. He and Radiant go off on a quest to resurrect Princess Amore, who Sombra had usurped a thousand years ago.
Alternate Universe!Sombra: This one was a good king who was stuck at a stalemate with an evil Celestia and Luna. When evil!Celestia executes a plan to merge the two universes and take over both of them, Sombra casts a spell that turns Celestia and Luna good, but in turn becomes evil himself. This one is no longer canon because of the season 7 finale (in this comic arc, Starswirl is still around after Luna’s banishment, which isn’t the case in the show).

was that the mirror sombra who was good by default, or the one who reformed when his mary sue girlfriend set his switch from evil to good?
There was an AU Sombra that was good but then wasn’t then OG Sombra that came back from the dead and was bad but then wasn’t.
At least that reformation was all him though. No rainbow laser brainwashing.

largely i’m torn 50/50 between not liking how it’s like they felt the need to visually symbolize the “good” ones. it just invalidates the “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” angle of thorax’s previous episodes, and thinking the new designs are utterly terrible.
@herooftime1000
According to the leaks we are getting a new villain. I won’t be mentioning any names or personalities or anything like that but you’re correct in that regard.
There’s also King Sombra. Enslaved many and led them emotionally broken. He didn’t reform and he also died. Granted I’m aware that the comics had a good Sombra but I’m not too well versed in the comics. I heard that specific Sombra wasn’t even the one we’re familiar with and came from an alternate universe (along with alternate versions of the other characters too).
