Discord = Star Swirl The Bearded

[juggalobrony333 3]

Okay I'm pretty sure that other bronies have probably debated this, and im sure there will be some debating about discord not being him, but i want to give my thoughts, opinions and example(s) to show why i think he is. (WARNING: I MAY GET A BIT SCRAMBLE BRAINED, JUST BARE WITH ME OK, also I'm relatively new to the brony community but i have seen all 4 seasons and the EQ specials.)

 

1) If memory serves me correctly, it is stated that Star Swirl the Bearded vanished without a trace, and he disappeared when it came to working on his final spell that Twilight figured out in the Season 3 finale. What if, when he was working on this spell he opened some portal or something that corrupted and changed him into what Discord is, discombobulated lol.

 

2) Also, if I'm not mistaken, before he started working on this spell, he didn't know/understand a single thing about friendship. And so, with not knowing or understanding friendship, it changed him completely.

 

3) To give an example (or a parallel to the show), if any-pony has seen the Jet X show Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go!, my example ties to The Skeleton King. TSK was originally The Alchemist, the creator of The Monkey Team. And when he was creating the Monkey's, he ended up touching some dark magic, and it slowly started to change him, and when he was finishing the Monkey's robot suits, he knew that they would have to fight him. Thus, the Monkey Team had their enemy established right after they came to life.

 

4) Now, flip the script, change the monkeys to the Mane 6, and The Alchemist/The Skeleton King to Star Swirl The Bearded/Discord. 

 

Now, again, I'm pretty sure that there are some ponies that would disagree, but I'm open to any agreements and/or disagreements.

Well, in the S4 finale Tirek knew of Discord and knew that he had been imprisoned, which would likely mean that his imprisonment happened before Tirek was banished to Tartarus.  Starswirl however played a role in Tireks banishment, which I would assume means he can't be Discord, as Discord had already been turned to stone at the time.

ok i see that i do, but take into consideration with every great villain, including Tirek and Nightmare Moon, they were all banished around 1,000 yrs ago by MLP's timeline. in fact, even equestria was founded 1,000 yrs ago. so with that in mind, who's to say that Tirek wasn't imprisoned after Discord was turned to stone.
