spoiler So is it safe to say were Discord there it would've been over before it started?

Had Discord been one of those there during the beginning when Tempest and co first showed up do you think Discord being so OP would have solved the situation before it ever began?

Well, that depends. Tempest could have petrified him with one of her bombs before he even had the time to snap his fingers.

[ShadOBabe 19,022]

Agreed with Sly. Discord’s been frozen in stone before, and that was at the height of his power.

Team Storm King did seem to be in the same vein as Lex Luthor bringing some Kryptonite along for the ride.

No she couldn't have, if Cadence could react fast enough, he could.

But those were the ELEMENTS OF HARMONY, I am pretty sure that he can can break through the stone of that orb thing...

The Elements are probably WAY stronger, the only reason the Elements actually worked was because they are Harmonic, and he is Chaotic, if we get the IDW comics in, when Discord turned into Accord, the Elements could not affect him because he was the personification of Order.

So yeah, I do not think that those Orb things would actually have an affect...

 

Am I too late the conversation? 

...

I probably am...

Then again, "To Where and Back Again" had him affected by anti-magic effects same as any unicorn, as did the Season 10 comic which had him visit Abyssinia.

It's an interesting question. He's not immune to being turned to stone either. And typically, he's not quick to react. Usually he's mellow and chill and doesn't worry about threats. His first response tends to be some kind of joke. 

On the other hand, when Starlight Glimmer told him that the Changelings had abducted Fluttershy, he was MAD. Had his magic not been nerfed, Queen Chrysalis might have had a nasty fight on her hands.

What I want to know is, where was Starlight Glimmer? Back in Ponyville? Were they unable to get to her? 

In the days that the Mane 6 were wandering the world and the high seas, what the heck was Shining Armor doing? Shouldn't he have been organizing some kind of counter attack from the Crystal Empire? 

No...Tempest Shadow and the Storm King got the drop on Canterlot that day, fair and square. And most creatures in Equestria, are just not equipped to react. Bug Bears are mindless, Yaks are...not organized, the Griffins and Dragons might have put up a fight, but not likely in any decisive manner. 

You'd think that by that point, after the Changelings and Tirek, that Princess Celestia would have increased security bit more...I dunno.

Honestly, the pony in me knows that the Mane 6 saved the day the right way. But if the human in me were Princess Luna, I would try to last long enough to separate the Tantabus again, and give it the image of the Storm King's symbol and one word; Attack.
