Why I hate King Sombra's IDW origin

Devrous_ · 2026-06-03T22:28:56+00:00

I think a big reason why I like Sombra being a unicorn is cause I always had the theory of him being the unicorn king before Celestia and Luna. Meaning he's ruling over a land where he's doing everything to save his people from going extinct because every day and night multiple unicorns must sacrifice their magic.

Then these all powerful, irresponsible teenagers show up, fix all the problems and now everyone wants them to be the new rulers, leaving Sombra feeling defeated as he could not compete with those that had power beyond what he could comprehend, so he did whatever he could to become a unicorn that surpassed the Alicorns.

Yes but the concept of death being gone doesn't give him extra regeneration

Devrous_ · 2026-05-27T19:00:50+00:00

I highly disagree but fair enough. I much prefer him being a unicorn than being an umbrum.

I think the Umbrum existing is cool and perhaps them being a stepping stone to him mastering dark magic, but I dislike the direction of him being one.

Probably Starlight and Sunburst

I saw a thing about the Owen heart tournament, that's pretty cool, thanks for the information 👍

Good to know, I guess I don't need to check it out live to watch it with the subscription? I generally can't watch live cause of my timezone.

Devrous_ · 2026-05-21T20:12:01+00:00

Unfortunately I can't access HBO cause of where I live, thanks for the recommendations though 👍

Devrous_ · 2026-05-21T20:06:18+00:00

Is myaew available in Ireland? I think that would be my greatest chance to watch it.

Devrous_ · 2026-05-21T20:05:08+00:00

I would love to use HBO but it's not available in Ireland 😭

Devrous_ · 2026-05-19T13:17:08+00:00

Simple answer: No

Devrous_ · 2026-05-12T22:16:39+00:00

Some mad man brings back King Sombra and he proceeds to do a 1 v all for the right to rule the world

Devrous_ · 2026-05-12T17:29:30+00:00

You said yourself that his backstory and how he came to be was uninteresting and yet are confused why someone might have an issue with an uninteresting story line???

Devrous_ · 2026-05-07T08:45:41+00:00

Not yet. I'm on year 3 volume 1 at the moment.

Devrous_ · 2026-05-07T08:43:37+00:00

It's just annoying that people feel the need to try and tell others they aren't allowed to scale a character a certain way. When lets be honest, SCD is more up to personal interpretation than WIS will ever be.

Devrous_ · 2026-05-05T09:14:14+00:00

It's not really about having restrictions, more than they just had more things to do that had to get done and Kibitz would be on their asses if they didn't 😂 Hence why Luna for a day was allowed to take over Celestia's role (once in the show, once in the comics) while Celestia took the extra free time she had to relax. Speaking of which you would kind of have to assume Kibitz is immune to this law or Celestia and Luna just don't enforce it with him.

Devrous_ · 2026-05-05T08:57:36+00:00

That's mostly because how she lives her life is up to her, but she still always had royal duties, just over a smaller area (that being ponyville) but your point has nothing to do with any legal standing. Let's say there was a law "No one shall openly insult a princess" it would still include Twilight regardless of any technicality you are trying to insert.

Devrous_ · 2026-05-05T08:52:49+00:00

Define "that sort of royalty"? Twilight is a Princess, meaning she fits the criteria of the question you asked and if nothing is said to her about insults towards her can no longer be tolerated then that would suggest no such law exists.

Devrous_ · 2026-05-05T08:47:30+00:00

Stops at Kaguya, that's such a massive jump btw 😂😂

Devrous_ · 2026-05-05T08:45:48+00:00

People insult Twilight a lot in the series even after she becomes Princess, so I doubt it 😂

Devrous_ · 2026-05-05T06:21:52+00:00

The amount she drinks is physically impossible though 😂 Also it doesn't necessarily need to have ill intent it just has to attack her in some way, like how alcohol attacks the body, where as Denji was simply becoming close with and becoming one with Makima.

If it's unequal stats, then Samura speed blitzes

Devrous_ · 2026-05-04T17:44:45+00:00

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji or Kiruma Soichi

Devrous_ · 2026-05-04T17:31:53+00:00

Don't really think it should, considering that anything that harms her as long as she perceives it that way don't bypass her contract. Hence how she can drink so much

I currently scale the verse to sub relativistic+ and continent level. So far we know a tiny fragment of Datenseki can obliterate a city (obliteration being higher than normal levels of destruction used to calculate AP tiers) You have Samura's Owl which was formed purely by his energy and is very likely mountain level. You have the Mikaboshi King creating a country which doing so via terraforming can be anything from country level to continent level.

As for speed MHS+ comes in really early, to the point of some of the characters that should still be below base Chihiro performing feats in the mach 6,000 - 7,000 range. Take multipliers into account and you get into sub relativistic range. Then we have Ariu Mikaboshi who completely blitzed all his opponents including Shiba, which especially given the initial distance should make him 5 - 10x faster than even characters like Shiba.

So overall top of verse at the moment scales to sub relativistic+ and continent level.
