I Want A Villain Song in Season 9
A Villain Song is a staple of many an animated fantasy. If the Big Bad is truly as important as the hero, then there is a good chance that they will have a show stealing song of their own. For all MLP has had some truly serious villains, there have really only been three songs that I would really think would qualify as a Villain Song out of all eight prior seasons!
(This is not be confused with songs that are simply sung by villains, such as Flim and Flam's 'Opportunity' or a Song sung by a former villain such as Discord's 'Glass Of Water'.)
(Likewise not counting 'Open Up Your Eyes', or any of the songs from Equestria Girls as those occur outside the series.)
Of those three songs the first, 'This Day Aria', is a duet with the hero Princess Cadance. It's probably the one used to the most striking effect, but we don't learn the true nature of the villain doing the other half of the singing until after the song is over.
Likewise, the second example, 'Our Town', while clearly about Starlight Glimmer's warped ideology isn't really about her fiendish plans, motivations, or even herself at all. The final example, 'Say Goodbye to the Holiday', as sung by Starlight in the role of Snowfall Frost actually comes the closest to being a pure villain song that lays out Snowfall's disdain for others and what she plans to do about it (though of course, in the end, Snowfall becomes the protagonist of the story rather than the villain).
I think it would be a shame if the series was to end without a fantastic, over the top, show stopping Villain Song! And I think the perfect person to deliver it would be Grogar!
Well, despite being the apparent final villain of the series very little is known about him, to the point even some of the other villains thought he was just a legend (or in Cozy's case, had never heard of him at all.) His only prior mention in the show is as the villain of a children's book Twilight likes when she was Flurry Heart's Age! Grogar is primes and perfect for a song all about who he is, what his evil philosophy might be, what his plans for Equestria happen to be, and exactly how screwed all the little ponies are thanks to his sinister machinations.
If Grogar can show off some of that massive power he's hinted to be lacking in the process than all the better! This is the final season, and such a song would likely appear in the season finale. As such, I really feel that Grogar should be allowed to go big! Heck, maybe the other villains can join in too! Make it a whole affair with a chorus for each of the legion of doom!
Let's have one last big Villain Song!
