Blog:King Sombra’s Fantastic Movie 3: Sombrapocalypse (FAKE PARODY FILM)

King Sombra’s Fantastic Movie 3: Sombrapocalypse is an animated “film” and the third installment in the King Sombra’s Fantastic Movie series. The cast, crew, and creator of the film are all unknown.

Plot
King Sombra, back in the Crystal Empire after the events of the previous film turn out to have been just a dream, decides he’s sick of the current era in which he’s living in. So, he gets himself cryogenically frozen and reanimated 5000 years into the future and awakes to a futuristic, apocalyptic wasteland.

Why This Threequel Sucks

 * 1) Of course, Sombra himself is the worst part of these movies. He is annoying, cruel, sadistic, and selfish. And he doesn’t ever stop talking.
 * 2) Sombra just decides he wants to see the future for no reason, without any explanation of his motivation.
 * 3) The futuristic Equestria rips off countless other properties such as Star Wars, Fallout, and Back to the Future.
 * 4) The animation is somehow even worse than it was in the previous films with childish character designs and moments where the characters’ speech doesn’t even match their mouth movements.
 * 5) When Sombra conquers Apocalypse Equestria, his form of currency is known as “Sombra Dollars.” Not only is this an incredibly uninspired name, it also blatantly rips off “Man Ray Dollars” from the Spongebob Squarepants episode Back to the Past.
 * 6) McSombrald’s is a stupid ripoff of McDonald’s.
 * 7) It completely ignores the storylines of the first two films. Granted, the second film was revealed to be just a dream, but you’d think the other films would at least be referenced.
 * 8) Radiant Hope somehow appears in the future, even though she never got cryogenically frozen like Sombra did. Considering it had been 5000 years since Sombra got frozen, Radiant Hope should be long dead. Although, it could be that this appearance of Hope was actually the past version of Hope and that she just travelled to the future, the movie does not make this clear.
 * 9) There are animation errors everywhere.
 * 10) There are real-world references to things such as Facebook and Apple, even though the film is set in Equestria and not the real world.
 * 11) There’s lots of excessive violence and gore that adds nothing to the plot and is just disturbing to look at.
 * 12) Unfunny and disgusting jokes.
 * 13) It recycles the basic plot of the second film: Sombra travels to another location, conquers said location, and acts like a jerk to everybody.
 * 14) Like the other films, it’s quite boring and not much happens. There’s no real conflict or character development and it just drags on and on.
 * 15) It’s never explained what happened to the other MLP characters in the future, such as the Princesses and the Mane 6.
 * 16) There’s a scene where Sombra is shown naked. And it’s even anatomically correct, too!
 * 17) Sombra acts like a pervert in this film — he acts creepy and inappropriate to both mares AND stallions. Since his behavior implies he’s bisexual, this could be considered offensive to people who are actually bisexual. Although it could just be that Sombra is straight and is just harassing males because he’s insane.
 * 18) In one scene, Sombra watches porn. Need we say anything else?
 * 19) The music, voice acting, and sound quality are all horrifically bad.
 * 20) The plot is boring and none of the characters develop at all over the course of the story.
 * 21) Plot hole: how come Radiant Hope even needed to build a time machine to go to the future to begin with if she could have just reanimated Sombra in the present? Wouldn’t waking Sombra up from his cryogenically frozen state have been way easier?

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Sombra goes back to his own time at the end, with the help of Radiant Hope’s time machine.
 * 2) It isn’t quite as bad as the first two films, but then again that’s a pretty low bar.
 * 3) “Ponehub” is a stupidly clever pun, although it does not belong in a family film.
 * 4) Radiant Hope gets to have a bigger, more important role in this film since she is responsible for building a time machine and traveling into the future to retrieve Sombra.

Trivia

 * 1) According to this film, Sombra appears to be bisexual given that he hits on ponies of both genders. This is consistent with the canon King Sombra, who was officially confirmed as bisexual in a Tweet (but with no real evidence in the actual show to back this up).
