How we can all win with discord

[FNGRpony 658]

Some of us are banking on him going back to team evil.

And some of us (boooo LOL) want him to stay good,

 

Now Beetle juice erm i mean discord, could fracture.  Torn between his loyalty for flutter shy and his inherit need for chaos.

 

EVERYBODY WINS!  DBZ fans can look at how majin bo for an example of this.

Or if you like shaolin showdown Jack splicer puffing into a good and bad version of himself.

 

that and imagine a goodie, goodie discord prancing around creeping everyone out lol

I really do have no idea what they are going to do with him. I think he will get used at some point, but I have to admit that they have basically wrapped him up at this point and it would not surprise me to not see him at all.

 

I don't think he will have a really big episode on him like he has done in the past now, but I imagine he will just pop up every now and then. I'm not sure he will be 2 faced, unless its like only Fluttershy can control him, but I almost feel it's kinda past that now!

Well he could stay good and just do some friendly trolling around ponyville or equestria but everyone has they're urges but when it hits he might go chaotic again. Or so I hope.

Wait?

If Discord is Majin Buu then why cant the next villain be Kid Discord. A smaller but more powerful and evil version of Discord appears from Discords rage and destroys everything in his way

I think he will be good overall, but still cause minor mischief and chaos. Not on the same scale as before, but he will likely (by that I mean hopefully) do things to annoy Celestia and the Mane 6 without doing any actual harm. I see him being a bit like Loki (not the marvel comics version, the Loki of the Æsir), mischievous, but using his trickery for the greater good, all the while being slightly mistrusted and misunderstood despite his deeds.

I still see Discord as a villain but one that has gained as a Morality Pet (TV Tropes, look it up) Fluttershy.

 

Honestly I'd be disappointed if they didn't show his darker and manipulative tendencies.

 

Discord had made it clear in Return of Harmony he saw Equestia as his playground and ponies as his toys. I would hate for that to be lost.

I never once seen Discord as a true 'villain' at least in comparison to Nightmare Moon, Chrysalis, and dare I say, even Sombra. Sombra enslaved an entire kingdom for a long time, Discord just feels like a prankster, albeit an extremely over the top prankster that has a need to do pranks. I am one of those people who were happy to see the reformation. There is just so much more potential for him now in my opinion. He can be a good guy yet still pull off a ton of pranks and just annoy the ponies at times, whilst still being a good friend to Fluttershy at the same time. There is only so much that can be done with him as a villain. Seeing him being treated as 'evil' again would be a bit of a letdown because I never really see him as 'evil'.

There is really not much to classify as Discord being evil. I think that Discord is a really playful villain, who just likes to play around than killing an enemy off. So he could either be a good asset to the ponies, or be a hilarious downfall.

Discord ruled Equestria in chaos and insanity, not caring about the lives of others and bring about conflict and confusion. He clear sees ponies as little more then playthings, and takes great joy in breaking the minds and hearts of others. After twisting the minds of Twilight's friends, causing her to lose all hope and for her to give up what does he do? He gleefully gives a victory dance, mocking the unicorn's sorrow and pain.

 

He is evil, his playfulness is but a facade, and his cruelty and love mind raping/controlling others becomes clear when picking off each of the bearers of the EoH in turn. One does not have to kill or physically harm others to be a monster, the abuse of the mind and emotions and be just as harmful.

not what i meant, but hay that could work.

a more juvenile discord?

Is that even possible?  I've seen pictures of luna and celestial as chibi ish, they could do the whole cast in some age reduction spell.

The mlp version of the mum pet babies lol
