A few random ideas for season 5

[newfrickinshow 100]

Just a few vague ideas of what you would think about these as moments or ideas.  These are primarily Discord focused but not exculsively.  Thoughts, expand on the ideas if you wish.  Just curious to think what others feel.

A group of ponys demand Discord to be turned back to stone.  They feel he's had more chances than he deserves and make a powerplay to force Celestia's hoof.

OR after all those chances Discord has had, Celestia decides Discord should be powered down a bit.  A sizeable amount of his power is transferred to Celestia, the chaos magic messes with her head, and she becomes the villain that needs to be stopped at some point.
 

We've had to deal with a very dangerous spirit of chaos.  Now that he's 'reformed' perhaps the mane six could run into his opposite.  An oppressive, over-bearing spirit of order might be something worth bringing into the equation.

 

Rainbow Dash represents loyalty, Discord's loyalty has been shaky.  Might be interesting to press that dynamic (either Rainbow tries to prove Discord is still bad, is forced into a position where she has to trust Discord, etc).

Celestia takes a vacation.  She's spent more than a thousand years as sole ruler of Equestria, and the past few years have been particularly hectic.  Now that there are three other pincesses and a prince to pick up the slack she may finally be able to take a day/weekend/week off.

How long is Twilight's lifespan?  We know of 3 other alicorns and 2 of them are well over 1,000 years old.  Now that she's an alicorn too does that mean she'll likely live far beyond the lifespan of her friends and have to come to terms with that?  Is there something more to their long life spans and will Twilight get the chance to decide between a longer or normal life?

 

We got a new castle in Ponyville with a new "princess of friendship."  Any chance that the actions and decisions within castle inadvertently begin stepping on the hooves of Mayor Mare and her authority within town?  Might be worth an episode.

So, let's see some comments.

This idea is the best(your others are good too), it could give discord so much character development.

I like the idea of the Mane 6 running into Discord's opposite.

 

The equal sign cutie marks in the S5 animatic could be caused by Discord trying to make up for all the disharmony he's caused. He would realize making everypony equal and trying to fake happiness is not right.

New to this stuff, how do I do that Spoiler, "Show" "Hide" button thing?

Rainbow dash is talking with her friends and Daring Do plows into her out of nowhere like Rd did to twilight in the Pilot episode. Make this happen Hasbro.

"Twilight will not outlive her friends".  the staff has stated this many times. the rest sounds interesting though.

Some of those ideas are really good. I can see them in actual episodes.

 

Now mine.

 

Since they returned Tirek to G4 (even though, not in the best way possible) I would love if Hasbro added other G1 villains. I just want them to stay original or similar to the original characters, and not being pure rip-offs, flat or generic.
