Well, Nightmare Moon was clearly evil and an embodiment of all of Princess Luna's inner darkness. Besides, she wanted to bring about eternal night. That's not exactly a threat to Celestia alone. And Discord, well, he was the embodiment of chaos, and managed to turn the entire world upside down (semi-literally). So, they were actually quite dangerous.
Any lesser antagonists were possible threats to the Mane 6, but not Equestria as a whole.
Well, not necessarily...
Really, if you look at it, Iron Will turned Fluttershy into a *****, one pony, but following your point.
Trixie was a showoff that caused Snips and Snails to wake an Ursa Minor that unleashed a miniature hell, nearly destroying a town, pretty much making her a threat to the citizens of Ponyville.
Zecora (even though it happened only once) cursed the Mane 6, so that follows your point.
And the other issues usually seemed to be internal, but was a mix of both with the episode with Fluttershy and the dragon
So, actually, I notice a pattern:
Most external antagonists cause an indirect problem, Trixie bragged about defeating the Ursa "Major", Snips and Snails wake it up and at the center, it's Trixie's fault.
Iron Will makes Fluttershy a *****, and she wreaks havoc across Ponyville so-to-speak.
So, it seems the only direct antagonists (to my knowledge) so far were Nightmare Moon, Discord, Zecora, and the Flim Flam brothers.
I dislike the use of the term "convert" but try showing her one that captures the spirit of the show, Includes the mane 6, and has at least some level of intrigue.
Answer: S1Episode 10. Bridle Gossip.
Entirety of mane 6 showcasing personalities, follows a generally good plot structure, and ties into real life problems while still remaining carefree.
And i'm going to bed. Lots of homework due tomorrow that i'm doing...tomorrow.
another question for you guys, why? Because I love subconsciously compounding information on you people.
Question: Once you began watching this show, what kept you coming back? The animation, character growth, community encouragement?
Or if on the other hoof, you stopped watching this show for a time, what prompted that? Dip in episode quality, general restlessness etc.?
Posting my obligatory Youtube video and fanfiction link.
I do not know for sure. I first watched the show to try to understand why so many people liked it. And then i could not stop watching it, i had been infected (lol). I was constantly thinking on the show and the fandom itself.
But anyways even before i watched it for the first time i told to myself:
"myself, you know if you watch it you will like it "
And on your other question:
I also took break from ponies, it was like two weeks when i did not looked the show, the community content, or anything pony-related. Mainly becouse i wanted to hold on to whatever sanity i had left and i also feel wrong for watching the show.
This feels a bit too much like off-topic chatter, and sadly, I don't have any new art to contribute. So let me think here... Topic, topic...
Maybe we can get some discussion out of this little thought:
Remember what Discord did to Twilight? He used straight-up mind rape on the other 5, but Twilight... He let her faith be broken by watching everything and everyone she loved be torn apart. That is far more cruel than anything he did to anyone else.
Something I thought of a couple days ago and forgot to post.
IMO discord character was heavily influenced by the Joker form the latest Batman movies, He simply enjoys watching the world spiralling into chaos, and the idea of seeing a little pony losing her fate into everything she loves is far more pleasing fo such a character than simply altering her personality by artificiall means.
Plain terms: Discord is more evil than we thought
Do you think that the "villains" are evil beings who threaten the rule of Equestria, or societal outcasts who threatened Celestia and her kingdom?
Discord/NMM seems like a real treat to everyone in that magical land. the other antagonist seem to create normal problems. But agravated becouse there are magic spells, magical stones, and magical creatures in that land....

That is what I was thinking. What fun would it be to just use his mind powers on her? He needs someone to witness what he is doing. Also, it is quite rewarding to watch things spiral out of control. That is the main principle behind trolling.
Another thing I thought of, if he simply used a spell on her, maybe she could block it somehow? But to totally break her spirit through non-magical means, to make her watch everything and everyone be torn apart, no spell can reverse that. Had it not been for Spike burping up those letters (Celestia, Y U NO GET OFF YOUR ASS AND HELP?!), Discord would've won. Not that victory means anything to the spirit of chaos.
amazing song, and I am reading the fic for it now...only because it is by the very dude that influenced my life personally, the very author of MLD himself: ROBCakeran53!
but the post is mainly about the song. Just listen
Oh. Oh wow, ROB seriously knows how to use implications to the best of their abilities, and the way he set up that story...just...wow.
ALSO, its best when listened WITH the song on repeat
EDIT: wow, I never even noticed that comment. Another emotionally tugging moment...seriously, this fandom has made me cry from true happiness and sadness alike more than anything else. Ever. Everything is just so beautiful...
Umm... Sorry... I probably shouldn't have pointed that one thing out... I always go and read the comments on YouTube after somepony posts an interesting video here, so...
no not the comment, the story dude, the comment just adds a bit, and its understandable (I usually do so myself XD) Though, I will be sad when the series DOES end :'(
It's bound to happen to EVERY show, no matter how good it is. Whenever it DOES happen to MLP:FiM, there's still such a massive fanbase to keep things going (provided their work isn't forced to be taken down).

Oh Celestia, that is absolutely amazing. I am feeling a emotion that is the combination of happiness and depression. I got chills just listening to the first 20 seconds of that. This just proves that this is a great fandom.

Wow, talked about one thing, goes into another,
Curse you, ADHD!
Not sure if want.
There is a high change I'd be the only one if my vicinity who would go to it.
Forgive me... I don't get the reference if there's supposed to be one...
