How would you write discord

[rainbowsmash13 53]

I have seen people complain that discord is boring since his reform. If you were writing season 5 how would you make discord episodes. I think he needs to be creeper not comic relive  

[Pinkamena-Pills 6,840]

He needs to be Q. And in that aspect hes doing a magnificent job so far. 

 

(yes i have Star Trek bias)

[Shanks 10,816]

I would write him as the lovable, mischievious smartass that he is currently being written as. He may be one of the "good guys" now but that dosen't mean he is a perfect saint, I could easily see him trolling Celestia especially as well as Luna and the mane 6 and maybe even having fun with the gaurds and random citizens every now and then. His fun may not get to the point of harming anypony but would serve as the occasional annoyance.

Pretty much the same way as how he was written in Three's A Crowd.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

I like the way he is already.

I like the way he's been written so far, although i thought he was too easily fooled by Tirek in the finale. Considering that Discord is a master of manipulation himself, you'd think he'd be able to see when someones trying to pull the wool over his eyes. I would've liked to see him put up more of a fight against Tirek. Still, I've enjoyed his character arc very much. I thought the execution of him learning the true meaning of friendship was perfect.

 

The writers seem to have fun with Discord, which is all i really want. As long as Discord is being chaotic, I am happy with him.

I wouldn't change a thing, Discord is perfectly fine as he is. Atleast I think, he is hilarious and random and a troll and. He is just brilliant.

 

I would know no better how to write him then he already is.

[paradoxical 1,735]

Maybe a touch of growth, but he's quite fine with his randomness annoying AJ. (Not that I don't like AJ, but it's a benchmark of dishonesty/chaos/whatnot)

[Wind Chaser 4,768]

I wouldn't really change anything about how Discord is written. I would however change how the others are written around Discord. It kinda gets boring when every single member of the Mane 6 acts nothing but uptight and angry around him. I'd like one of them to give him a taste of his own medicine by being snarky and smart-alecky right back to him.

Wait, you guys think he's out of character and what not? I thought he was fine.

[LZRD WZRD 1,929]

He was awesome in season 4. Keep developing him naturally and I'll be happy

[rainbowsmash13 53]

Ok good points but how should he be in the two parters. I fear he will be just like celestial and loose to make the villain look powerful. Which would be a shame he should be the most powerful being in equestrian since he is the opposite of harmony so having the season 5 villain beat him would be underwhelming

I'm not sure how powerful he actually is, there may be a bunch of illusion in his magic.  Remember that with all non-alicorn pony magic and his magic, Tirek still could not steal Twily's ubercorn magic. 

 

Unless the power absorption is quite inefficient, that indicates that alicorn magic rivals discord's.  

 

One of my headcanons is that Discord has very little control over his magic.  "I want something to happen to the sun and moon" he says, "that's cool" he thinks.  This would then make comparing his power a semantic argument.

 

And though they are individually less powerful, the force of McGuffin is never to be underestimated.[evidently it's by far more powerful than all the PONEZ and Discord.]   Making Twily the most OP.

 

But having him lose in a fight that is on his terms seems a little weak. 

 

What if Greedo shot first though?

Or he's Sleeping on the moon.

The Princess is in another castle.

 

Or more likely Celestia doesn't want the job assigned to a troll.

 

So don't fret, keep chaotic and flutter on. 

[rainbowsmash13 53]

He is the only character in the show to affect harmony he weakens the three it took over 1000 years but still that's something

[Conred 274]

He is perfect the way he is. He wasn't evil to begin with. I just hope they wont make him less annoying toward mane6 because i like when he torment anyone around him but still act like an angel toward Fluttershy

[Thespian 78]

I feel like discord is fine the way he is and needs a second redemption episode. Hear me out. Yes, he is redeemed in twilights eyes and some of the mane six, we don't know for certain. However, to the rest of equestria, he sold them all on a silver plate. I feel if he truly wants to be a better person, he needs to make it up to ponyville. They could have an episode where each of the mane six tries to help show how good and awesome discord actually is. Or something along those lines. But for how he is written now, I think he is fine. Just as long as he doesn't stay sappy like the last 20 minutes of the finale.

[Darker 1,352]

Something unique coming from him, different from all the things he has ripped off from Q.

 

I also would like him to return as a villain, much more evil, but it's impossible for that to happen.
