>>42314088I think I’ve said it before somewhere that Discord is the writers’ scapegoat for their own personal failings. They knew the story they were originally writing made no sense, so they threw Discord under the bus in the rewrite.
That was my theory for a while, but it was confirmed that they had a totally different story planned where Discord, Celestia and Luna were all going to “die” (really go to Skyros, but the outline kept using words like “ascend” and clarified that they can’t return, so yeah, die) and Discord was trying to prevent it by going evil again and making Twilight do the same.
Actually, one of the ideas in that outline was that Equestria was about to reach “total harmony” thanks to Twilight, making Discord incapable of surviving there and Celestia and Luna irrelevant. I’m now putting together that the theory I had about them getting word of the plans for G5 may’ve been responsible for the changes. There’s not total harmony in G5. The outline made it sound like it’d literally be an eternity of perfection for their world. It can’t be canon to G5 if that happens.
So actually, yeah, I think I’m starting to get how this happened. We know the rewrite was super late. They’d already started animating the season. But now their story makes no sense. So what do they do? They try to keep as much of the original story as possible while using “Discord’s just being a retard again” as an excuse.
I mean, seriously, I’ve hated Discord since his second appearance, but even if I liked him for longer, I’d have to admit just how much they’d ruined him by then. I feel bad for John de Lancie for feeling compelled to keep reading this shit. The fact of the matter is his character had no place in the show and they just kept using him for the worst stories imaginable. Such an embarrassment. I’d be pissed.
DiscordFags (like some of the ones in this thread) seriously need better taste. You can’t keep accepting shit. If Cozy Glow is brought back in future media and they ruin her, I’m not going to deny it. It’d be the writers’ fault, not hers.
The real Discord was happier as a statue than he ever would be becoming the faggot he is now. If he ever met his later self, he would absolutely rape himself to death.
But I am trying to piece together which show is more in the wrong now. G5 for being set in the same universe, or G4 for… everything. Just because we saw Season 9 earlier doesn’t mean that it’s the source of the problems. I’m considering taking away some of my praise of G5 if it really did give us that ending.
As it stands, if Season 9 is canon, G5 HAS to be, and yes, Discord suffered a fate a billion trillion times worse than the worst death in the multiverse, as “he” deserves. (I’m writing as if he really was himself, which he isn’t.) But if G5 was set in a totally different universe, would we really have gotten this?
