What do you imagine a G3 villain would be like?

My husband and I were discussing MLP movies the other day and how they had these awesome villains (well most of them anyway). It got me thinking about what would make a good villain nowadays.

During the Hasbro Tour, that question was brought up to the creators. If I remember right, their response was that since the MLP line was intended for a much younger audience than the 80's one, they really felt that there was no need for villains or "mischevious" characters.

I politely disagree, but that's not the point of this post. :p

Anyway, if you got the chance to design a G3 villain, what would your ideas be?
 
see thats one thing i don't really care for with the G3 shows......
nothing ever seems to happen!
they like dance or sing or something, wheres all the action?
80's ponies rule!
 
Yeah you need to have the baddie, so they can learn there lesson and have the moral - no good if the ponies are always being naughty or stuff, as then there not the perfect role modle a *hero* should be, I can just Imagaine something cute for the little ones, like a sock goblin who steals the socks :) I'm so gunna give this some more thorught when i get home from work!
 
Well, judging by the current line of G3's, I'd have to say I imagine a G3 villain to be pretty lame.

They would never try to destroy Ponyville with an ocean of evil purple goo, for example, but they might try to start a rumor that Pinkie Pie isn't a natural pink, or something equally as lame.
 
:eek:mg:The g3 movies are SAD. Very SAD.

They need action! They NEED problems!!
Although Pinkie Pie will always be the greatest villan!
 
I have no idea what would make a good villian...but I think its funny that Hasbro wants to gear toward 3 year olds and think they dont have "mischevious" characters..umm what do you call Swiper from Dora the Exploerer?

Voldemort from Harry Potter would be cool. I can't imangine an evil BBE or something like that.Although a cat would be the true villain! I have to agree,the G3 movies aren't as exiciteing as the G1 movies. But they are kinda fun.I don't think a 4-year old would like it if Star Catcher fell off a cliff or if Minty was turned into a evil pony.I would like to see sew and so in there,though.:sunny:
 
Someone really boring and miserable - like Marvin from The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy. A really drab, mechanical robot. That seems like the opposite of what the ponies stand for!

Classic "villantry" is that the villan is not like the main group of characters, like Gargamel was for the Smurfs. So something not pink, not giggle-y, not a dancer and not anything like a pony. A witch is always good. Oh, I forgot, we are talking G3 here. hmmm, maybe like a clothes stealing witch?
 
My dog, Grace, who likes to snatch ponies from my collection.

EVIL GREYHOUND OF DOOOOM! (tm)

(Not that she does anything with them. She just sets them on the ground and looks at them.)

I guess if I had to keep within their concept of MLPs not being ponies at all but 5 year old girls... a "G3" villain would be something that would steal the sunshine and rainbows away from Ponyville. (Or melt their ice cream, or ruin their cakes!)

If they could be horses again, that would make or some awesome villainary though!

I was going to say the villain would have to be a cupcake, lollipop, cookie stealer. ;)
 
it would be a scientist who clones 7 ponies repeatedly and trys to market them as being more exciting than the same seven ponies can be by including different accesories

and then the rainbow re-releases would point out the importance of individuality and the scientist would stop the cloning and there would be more than 7 characters again YAY!!!
:pigsfly::pigsfly::pigsfly::pigsfly:<-see pigs are flying here :p
 
I'd love to see a G3 villain along the lines of Tirak, Catrina, or Tambelon. AWESOME villains, all. But first . . . FIRST there would be a villain who was a grey, not too threatening, donkeyish villain who the ponies would defeat after a lot of confusion (because they aren't used to this world-saving thing.) THEN it would turn out he was only a FLUNKIE for the REAL villain!!!

Alternatively, a plague! See, that's why there are only seven ponies left . . . *wide evil grin*

Or else, let's see . . . they're eating all that chocolate all the time . . .

Acne?
 
Top notch villain would be... PINKIE PIE.

Secondary villain would be little pet shops with rabbies.
 
Well, since they're for little kids, how about an evil set of Birthday Ribbons? They could be formidible foes, because you have to kill each and every ribbon individually, otherwise they just grow back, stronger.

We (my friend and I) had that villain when we were little, but now that I think of it, I don't think the G3s are tough enough. Birthday Ribbons are tough.
 
I have another idea.... How about Fakies? They could be upset about all the MLP getting so much attention, having all the awesome accessories and decide to wreck havok all over Ponyville! :)

hehe I was totally thinking something that melted or stole all the ice cream from Pony land (Ponyville, dreamvalley, whatever the heck it is now) or made all the ice cream taste like brussel sprouts or lima beans or something (why do I have a feeling that I've heard that plot line some where before)

OOOh OOhh! How about a little gremlin who dismantles all there scooters and stuff because he's lonely and doesn't know how to make friends properly. See plot, antagonist, conflict and conclusion in one sentence.
