Considering me and some friends came up with a theory that the writers didn't originally plan to have Grogar turn out to be discord, I dunno really.

Oh, Season 9 starts with "Twilight and her friends are taking over ruling Equestria" and ends with "Twilight ruling by herself while her friends fade away of old age". I am pretty sure the writers changed the story mid season (when they were developing the season, not when it aired).

 

It was obvious though that Discord was going to be taken out of the equation somehow to make the finale actually tense.

I think he did, and he did count on all the possible outcomes. He put all his faith in Twilight and her friends to tackle the problem.

He knew they wouldn't be able to control his magic and by trapping his magic inside bell made sure they couldn't use the bell for more power, while giving them a reason to believe him.


If I don't understand something or Interpret it wrong, I'm dutch. Sometimes I gamble for meanings of the words. And sometimes I write the wrong words, like week and weak for example. Sorry for it already. :smug:

Discord, Twilight, Sunset, Fluttershy, Starlight, Rarity, Luna, Celestia, Big MCintosh, Cadence, Shining, Minuette, Lyra, Rara, Sweetie Belle, Cheerilee, Derpy, Spike.

When you think about everything nothing in the finale made any sense.

Discord should've known they'd lie to him. He had no excuse for not suspecting them at all due to firsthand experience with Tirek and because he conveniently had a seer stone that he should've been using to monitor the progress of the triad. Secondly the triad should've also known that given the seer stone, Grogar/Discord could've very well known that they had it. 

I get plotholes are a given with any fictional story, but the finale just really irks me for a number of reasons, and I basically liked every episode of the show.

Thats a good point but he WAS in the show before S9 because twilight talks about gusty the great defeating him to the fillys and colts in the episode where she babysits flurry heart

Discord has just mysteriously not been around in most of the other finales - so why would this be different? It's like guard ponies in the movie, or a competent princess, ever.... ;)

Honestly that's another issue with Discord with how he affects' the villains' threats.
It messes it up with if the villains won, they only won due to Discord choose to not intervene because.. he's Discord.



The competent princess part stings when I imagine that issue happening to Luna honestly..

Sorta. S4 finale, Discord's betrayal of the Mane 6 then acceptance and claiming by Twilight was a key plot element (pun intended)

Tbf, Discord lost his chaos magic and thus couldn't screw Tirek with a literal snap of his fingers. Then again if Discord didn't fell for Tirek's deception, Tirek was done for.
Same for the season 6 finale, Chrysalis would have been screwed BIG TIME if she didn't happen to have some freaky throne that screws up non-changeling magic. And that time there is when Discord actually decided to intervene too.

They should introduce more weakness/counters to Discord's magic(without outright making him powerless completely) so the villains' threat won't get goofed up by Discord just existing.
So if he decides to intervene, whatever counter the villain would have would at least stop him from literally taking them down with a snap of his fingers.
