I think it'd actually be really cool to go this route. Discord has never felt great loss before, ever. He's as old as time itself and yet Fluttershy passing is likely the only time in history where he's had to deal with feeling loss. That could really mess him up.

I think it'd even be cool if he grew cold and spiteful towards the concept of friendship or opening himself up again, letting his grief twist his thinking.

"What's the point of friendship for a being like me? I'll outlive my friends anyway, and before you know it, I'll even forget their faces over the millennia. Friendship isn't magic. Not anymore."

You have anything to add, Mr. Jameson?

Oh so kinda like King Andrias from Amphibia. Honestly if Discord is going to go back to being some form of antagonist, having it stem from grief and self loathing that came from loss, honestly would be a portrayal I could get behind.

Maybe Discord was trying to save Fluttershy from something but he was unable to save her.

Or something terrible happened that made him lose this friendship with Fluttershy and everyone else and he never saw them happy with him again.

And something like that cost him his horn and his spirit.

I kinda think he is more sad than evil. We know now that he feels magic causes more harm than good. And that he’s living all alone. They should so bring Fluttershy’s passing into it.
