Preatorian60 45 November 12, 2018 Share November 12, 2018 Just saw the movie (I know I waited so long ;-;) and I couldn't help but wonder where Discord and Starlight were throughout the movie, maybe I missed them? I haven't seen the latest season of MLP ye (I'm waiting for a box set) so if that explains it let me know :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Tang 2,426 November 12, 2018 Share November 12, 2018 (edited) The movie has an anti automatic plot resolution program that makes Discord and Starlight entirely useless. I mean just think about it, if both of them really have a role, storm king's army would be crippled by the time they arrived. Even the 3 princesses are freaking useless!

Feather Spiral 1,892 November 12, 2018 Share November 12, 2018 Starlight might've been captured, and Discord idk maybe he was off somewhere hanging out with space lizards from Andromeda... Actually, thinking back, Discord might've been discreetly feeding off of the chaos Storm King created. Once he saw Fluttershy was doing alright with her friends, he would've let the plot run its course. I take writing commissions.

Also the wonderbolts? And why do they have to seek help from a long lost civilization when they have relations with the yaks, dragons, and changelings? That movie is so freaking... weird man. Even one of my school mate agreed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O-78 28,606 November 12, 2018 Share November 12, 2018 Starlight was busy chilling with Trixie someplace far away, obviously! And Discord was just hanging out, creating chaos in his own dimension, like he usually is. 1 Signature by @Mellow Mane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyDashie 1,847 November 12, 2018 Share November 12, 2018 starlight glimmer was probably captured (or escaped.. who knows) but she was in the movie for like.. one second in the festival. 3 20% cooler in 10 seconds flat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkadios 91 November 12, 2018 Share November 12, 2018 (edited) SG was probably a prisoner. As for Discord, he’s his own being. Pretty much the essence of true neutral. Edited November 12, 2018 by Arkadios 1 *Data expunged* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinch 1,120 November 12, 2018 Share November 12, 2018 Starlight got taken out by a surprise attack at the very beginning of the assault. Discord wasn't invited, as usual. Current project: The Olden World audiobook What's to stop you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashen Pathfinder 16,161 November 12, 2018 Share November 12, 2018 Starlight was most likely captured alongside Trixie in some manner. They had some sort of magic-repelling armor, so I can see it working against someone like her. As for Discord, I still tend to believe that he wants the ponies to take care of themselves for the most part. He likely saw the Storm King as a minor threat and let the ponies figure it out.

Loyal Defender 4,111 November 12, 2018 Share November 12, 2018 (edited) I pointed this out in another post, but if Discord were around, he could just poof the army away. And much like in a review of Dragonshy, (if Tia poofed the dragon away) that wouldn't be fair because then we wouldn't have an episode (or movie). Well, we WOULD, but a very short one.

Often pointed out though that, despite being ostensibly the two most powerful magic users in Equestria, Celestia and/or Luna seem to get taken out of the picture far, far too easily so that the Mane 6 can save the day. At least in more recent finales, we are given a reasonable explaination for that (but still can't see how a bunch of changelings could silently and tracelessly overpower either of them in a guarded palace, not to mention the crystal empire characters and so forth) Discord is less of a mystery given he is frequently absent (and didn't even notice Fluttershy had been ponynapped, for example) but it seems to be mostly that the ponies just aren't very good at fighting; Twilight couldn't reliably hit a bird the size of a barn while flying directly behind it, and Pharynx stuck Glimglam in a bag (despite her being the most massively overpowered unicorn in equestria) ᚾᛖᚹ ᛚᚢᚾᚨ ᚱᛖᛈᚢᛒᛚᛁᚴ - ᚦᛖ ᚠᚢᚾ ᚺᚨᚦ ᛒᛖᛖᚾ ᛞᛟᚢᛒᛚᛖᛞ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubWolf 17,263 November 28, 2018 Share November 28, 2018 (edited) There’s Starlight Glimmer, and then there’s just Starlight. (don’t be scared :c) Aside from Starlight Glimmer who was seen at one point, maybe Discord was busy watching the show knowing he could put an end to it eventually . I mean he’s basically God-like, no ? Edited November 28, 2018 by WWolf Sig by Wolf, Handwriting by SparklingSwirls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Solace 5,132 November 29, 2018 Share November 29, 2018 Yeah, the movie has a lot of unexplained happenings. I'm surprised there's even a Glim Glam movie toy.

The Nth Doctor 662 March 18, 2019 Share March 18, 2019 (edited) As far as the movie's concerned, the only characters that matter are the Main 6 and anyone voiced by someone famous Everyone else are just background decorations Should've had Starlight and Trixie do the opening exposition instead of two nobodies Edited March 18, 2019 by The Nth Doctor "I love deadlines.
