Does anyone think Discord has been going overboard with the ponies?

He's gone from total anarchist to prankster. I mean he was still a prankster before but he's gone from "I will break the world and turn everyone against each other for lulz" to "I'm gonna toy with ponies heads and cause problems.. But not plunge the world into chaos.". Though not telling Twilight about the plunder seeds was crossing the line a bit. He has a more passive approach to chaos.

I've been thinking he's been too touchy-feely this season with the Mane 6.

 

I don't see it. He didn't tell Twilight about the seeds in 'Princess Twilight Sparkle' and he tried to ruin her day with Cadance in 'Three's a Crowd', hardly touchy-feely if you ask me.

Touchy-Feely?  Sure he may have softened, but he's just as cruel as ever.  Only problem is it's not as clever as when we first met him.

 

Yeah... Discord was never reformed.  Supposedly he starts understanding what it means to be a friend in "Keep Calm and Flutter On" but now he's even more a cynic on it.  But everypony loves Fluttershy...

Yeah but in this fandom we need to imply sexual tension between or cartoon ponies and chaos gods. Not doing so would just be silly.

I noticed this too, and I find it interesting because it's much like the character Q from Star Trek: TNG, VOY, and DS9, who, most of you know, is also played by John De Lancie and whom Discord is definitely modeled after. In the first few seasons of TNG, Q bordered on the malevolent. While he always had 'lessons' to impart through his actions, he was dangerous and unpredictable, and very cavalier about humanoid life. He put Picard on trial for the crimes of humanity and threatened to destroy humanity in the pilot episode. Then in season 2, he introduced the Enterprise to the Borg, which resulted in the deaths of 18 people on the Enterprise. But as the show went on, he became more humorous and less dangerous. He even began to treat Picard as a friend. Then in Voyager, he abandoned all pretense of malevolence and turned into the consummate trickster...he even 'settled down' and became a father. I have no idea if the parallels are intentional, but I like it.

Nice username by the way.

I meant touchy-feely in a sense that Discord is very hands on physical contact with the ponies. He doesn't think twice about personal space and will grab what ever pony as the only male character that does it.

 

The kind behavior that would get Shining Armor to tell Discord to keep his hands off his wife and sister.

Yea, but Pinkie is a chaotic character too. That's why there's so much physical contact, because they DON'T care about personal space. Also I'd argue that Pinkie is the only female character that regular gets too far into someone's personal bubble.

Thank you! It came to me in a dream, along with a neon-green ocelot that spoke fluent Vietnamese, and the entire cast of RENT. I kept the username, because the original Broadway cast of RENT have other things to do and I have no room in my house for an ocelot. Plus, I don't speak much Vietnamese.

Cruel?

 

Bringing cadence and twi out of their way (delivering him in a giant golden carrage- cadence has trouble keeping it up) to get a giant flower which a giant death worm lives under for an imaginary illness is more than cruel......

Discord is far more interesting now because it breaks the cycle of cause chaos and get stoned. Villains must be beaten before the episode ends, so this allows him to be a dick but suffer few to no repercussions.

Well, of course, Discord being a hindrance to the ponies around him with little to no concern for their being is all in Discord's personality. He's reformed to a point, but causing chaos is still very much his forte.

 

... I hate it to no end, which leads me to say yes to the question itself, but that IS the point of the "reformed" Discord, so I can't really say anything, I suppose.
