We finally have on-screen footage of the Season 3 clip shown at NYCC, courtesy of the My Little Pony Facebook page. Click here for the clip. Or watch it after the break.
[Update - The villain's name has been corrected by Nayuki on Allspark]
Again, as stated by Nayuki, the villain’s name is King Sombra, which apparently means ‘Shadow’ or ‘Shade’ in Spanish. Make of that what you will.



























Wow, that was really…dark, even by MLP first-episode-of-the-season standards.
The depressed ponys eye highlights are hexagons and rhombuses. Cool.
