LordDiscord 289 January 29, 2015 Author Share January 29, 2015 As has been mentioned, that's already a Star Trek episode. Um so? MLP and StarTrek are two completely different shows and Discord and Q are still different characters despite their similarities, Discord could have a completely different take/reaction to losing his powers than Q did. No. Because his powers help make Discord well " Discord" This wouldn't be permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastel 7,630 January 29, 2015 Share January 29, 2015 (edited) Well... I can imagine a scene in season 5 where the princesses take some of Discord's powers out to make sure he won't betray them again. But I don't really like this idea, I'd prefer he keeps his powers. Edited January 29, 2015 by Blobulle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cwanky 17,593 January 29, 2015 Share January 29, 2015 The thing is, he was reformed because Princess Celestia believed that he could use his powers for good. If he was reformed then lost his powers, there would really be no reason to reform him. The entire purpose for him being reformed was because of his powers. Which is actually rather unfortunate really. Considering that this is actually canon based, it only furthers the paranoia that Celestia is a manipulative detached leader, similar to Albus Dumbledore. Then again it may ironically help further strengthen his ties to Fluttershy and the Mane 6. If they can truly make a good faith effort to reach out to Discord as a friend, instead of as some convenient asset, it makes their relationships stronger and more interesting. And yes I think Discord losing his power temporarily would be a marvel idea. Even then simply because he loses his power, it shouldn't mean that Discord loses his sense of humor, let alone his personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctofire 227 January 29, 2015 Share January 29, 2015 Maybe he does it to save the mane 6 in some kind of big ending episode which is the end of his arc. I'll agree that reforming Discord was not the best move, but whats done is done, now we have to focus on good ways we can use it. So far they've done it pretty well, Twilight's Kingdom was an absolute blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordDiscord 289 February 1, 2015 Author Share February 1, 2015 That would make for a good comedy fanfic, but nothing more. Why is that? The season 4 final proved that Discord can show genuine emotion without ruining his character, so why can't there be a episode dedicated to Discord losing his powers(temporarily)in some way that would cause him to become emotionally distraught and cause the Mane 6 to make a decision to either leave him powerless and no longer have to worry whether he would turn on them or not and leave him miserable or help him get them back and put Equestria in danger if he ever attempted to betray them again. In my opinion that would help their friendship with Discord grow, because frankly I am getting tired of the trope of having everyone but Fluttershy hate Discord whenever he appears and then continually lie to him that they are his friends,if it takes him losing his powers to make that stop, so be it.

Princess Oceangem 61 February 1, 2015 Share February 1, 2015 I want someone to take his powers (temporarily obviously) and show Discord how he could use them for good instead of evil. I have secretly wanted him to get a section of Ponyville as a "playground" for kids where he gives out cotton candy and chocolate milk and uses his chaos for comedy.

gamecubeguy214 2,512 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 Hmm, I don't think so. If Discord lost his powers, he might die. SPOILER According to the last couple of episodes of Season 4, there was a character named Tirek, sucking the magic out of unicorns. They were unable to move, so they're unable to move themselves to get any food or things they need, and also they could get attacked any moment, they can't get up on their hooves. They could die. Now if Discord lost his magic, he would be weak, unable to move, and be laughed at by all the ponies, fillies cheering, ''Grab a sword! Grab a sword!'', and he would never show up again, and Discord would be dead, MLP being a little more entertaining with a guy who tries to destroy people houses and make their needs disappear. So, I don't think so. There would be death. Pennutoh has a gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Letter 1,832 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 I would rather that the show explain how he lost his powers in "Twilight's Kingdom" considering he is called a spirit. It makes more sense that if his "powers" were lost then he would just disappear since he isn't a physical being? I would prefer that over the idea that he can be manipulated like a physical being can. Silver Letter!!!

NOT ACTIVE 1,266 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 I think the whole thing of reforming the god of chaos was just, not the best move. I think Discord should of gotten the same thing Sombra did considering they both caused misery. Heck, Sombra only did it to the Crystal empire while Discord did it to all of Equestria. If they are going to keep him alive, I'd say revoke his powers permanently. Well, maybe it's to show to the target public the lesson that "doesn't matter how bad you are. we are still here for you", but yes lore-wise, it was a bad thing in my opinion, they could have extracted so much from him i'm Sorry if i've made mistakes, english isn't my main Language, but i'm trying to get better at it (if you see an error and wants to tell me, i'll correct and learn from it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFlyer 329 February 3, 2015 Share February 3, 2015 I think it'd make for an interesting episode myself! While I also agree losing his power should be a temporary thing I think it'd be a great opportunity to explore his character and relationship with the Mane 6. I'm also wondering about any long term effects of Discord being powerless, could he even survive very long without magic? Just a theory. He wasn't without his powers long enough in the finale to confirm anything. And on that note isn't chaos necessary to balance harmony? Would if effect more than just Discord himself? I'm probably over-thinking things but yeah. In my opinion that would help their friendship with Discord grow, because frankly I am getting tired of the trope of having everyone but Fluttershy hate Discord whenever he appears and then continually lie to him that they are his friends,if it takes him losing his powers to make that stop, so be it. Yes, this. I still find it hard to believe they all (aside from Fluttershy and Twilight) seemingly forgave him so easily. I feel that was done as a way to wrap up the season on a happy note and we could see something entirely different in season five. Much like how Twilight had a hard time learning to use her new wings when season four started but she didn't have any problem soaring through the sky during the season three finale! I remember thinking "jeez she picked up on that fast!" so hopefully they'll give us an episode that explores mending friendships and trust.

NavelColt 22,881 February 18, 2015 Share February 18, 2015 Sounds like an interesting mirror homage to the Next Generation with Q. It'd have to be really well-written for me to enjoy it, though. Some half-assed reason for him temporarily losing his powers just so the audience can experience what he's like without powers, and how he interacts with characters differently, would really disappoint me as an episode. Discord's only got two or three episode appearances on average, unless they increase that amount from S4 into S5, so, spending one of those few seasonal opportunities to see Discord and not have any of his classic warping shenanigans? Yeah, that shit better be written gold. x) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticShine 529 February 20, 2015 Share February 20, 2015 How would they even take away his power? There's no way you can limit limitless powers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloquence 2,076 February 20, 2015 Share February 20, 2015 I think this could be a fun episode if they did something similar to the episode of Adventure Time where Jake lost his powers, something really silly with maybe a bit of a moral but mostly ending in Discord cackling as he runs off into the sunset with his powers fully restored having not learned much of anything. I could see that being a fun time My Equestrian Empire Characters Fluttershy - Eloquence - Chamomile - Ginseng - Lovestruck Ask Me Questions!
