Description

My opinion about who is the most terrifying:  
The nightmares, The umbrums and the pony of the shadows.
 
The nightmares take the 3rd place, because they are not so scared, they work well as a team, but without a leader they do not work well.
 
The pony of the shadows takes the 2nd place … because ?, it is true, he is the first villain where he faces 12 heroes, and has a good background story, but he did not do much in the whole episode. And also he needs a host to maintain his physical form.
 
And finally, the Umbrums, they take the 1st place, the truth does not need explanation, just look at it !!!, I feel that they would surpass all the villains, one is dangerous, and they work in groups and can block magic, etc.
 
Well … that’s my opinion, what do you think?

Then you agree with me that NMM was possessing Luna?
 
We did? When? I’m pretty sure I would’ve remembered a scene where the Mane 6 purify all the Nyx invading Ponyville and those who remained on the moon.
 
In the show, Luna states that she watches over the dreams of ponies; which the comics claim is a skill she learned from the Nyx. Ergo, who was watching over the dreams of Luna prior to NMM? The Nyx. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM…..

No? Nightmare was basically the Tantabus if it could possess people like Starlight’s angry magic. And it got destroyed much like how Midnight Sparkle was.
 
We saw the Nyx get purified alongside Rarity.
 
No? The comics have still made it clear that it was Luna’s jealously that sent her off the deep end.

If thats true:
 
  1. Everything the show says about NMM is wrong. NMM is never banished/purified because Luna was NMM the whole time.
     
  2. The Nyx/NMF actively get fucked but Rarity is rescued so YAY!
     
  3. The Nyx created NMM in the first place by slacking off on their dream duties.

Yes.
 
Nightmarity arc frontloads you with the implication that the NMF corrupted Luna until towards the end when Luna admits that NMM was all her. She was scapegoating the NMF to avoid admitting her own culpability.
 
The NMM Fiendship issue is more straightforward about it. NMM gets banished and finds the uncorrupted Nyx on the moon. She tricks them into teaching her their tricks until she starts to transform them into the NMF.

Hrm… Add the Tantabus to this and Equestria has a lot of “nebulous sentient shadow/nightmare creatures”…
 
Someone needs to gather them all together and form a massive army.

The Umbrums. Easily.
 
The Pony of Shadows is a REALLY shallow character (turns out being an asshole to someone makes them angry at you, who knew?) and the Nightmares pretty much ruin Celestia and Luna’s backstory (apparently Luna was possessed so Celestia imprisoned her to live with the beings that were possessing her for 1000 years? Wut?)
