The Storm King

The Storm King is a satyr-like creature villain who appeared in 2017's My Little Pony: The Movie. as a leader of The Storm forces. He was voiced by Liev Schreiber.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He is a stupid, campy, weak comedic villain that lacks the "comedic villain" charm, who didn't have much focus despite supposedly being the main villain. In fact, he generally lacks personality other than his goofiness
 * 2) His actor's voice performance is very nonthreatening compared to past MLP villains.
 * 3) His character design looks very awful and unfitting, almost looking like an evil version of Rafiki from The Lion King.
 * 4) His role in the movie serves more as a minor antagonist rather than a main one, because his second-in-command Tempest Shadow is the one who has more screen time and drives the plot much more., therefore Storm King does not get much development as a main villain and as a character in general.
 * 5) His betrayal of Tempest Shadow is pretty predictable and even more pointless, especially for a villain of his shtick, a ruthless monster who treats most of his villainy as a joke.
 * 6) A lot of his dialogue is a joke, sounding more like a child who is trying hard to be an villain.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Liev Schreiber did a decent job voicing him despite the lack of truly threatening undertones.
 * 2) The scene where he plays with the sun and moon is hilarious.
 * 3) Along with Discord and Lord Tirek, Storm King serves as one of the biggest threats to Equestria, even putting the majority of the pony kind into slavery.
 * 4) He has a pretty ruthless death scene for the movie's demographic, although there are theories that claim that his soul is still alive despite his obsidian body breaking into pieces.
 * 5) He isn't as pointless as Grubber, Tempest Shadow's sidekick.
