Yup.

i mean thats what discord did in the past pre s2 there isn’t any ron the death eater on that because he was clearly a very amoral villain back then. Eq in a state of unrest and unhappiness

@Andyxdr  
Well, true. But I figured we may need to add comics on this, since it wasn’t just those three.
 
Again, no problems with him.

@Background Pony #2AB6  
Okay, sorry. It’s just, that’s what Discord did.

@Andyxdr  
I don’t have a problem.

Why do you guys have a problem with a character being responsible for interesting stories?

And what about comics??

Stop making excuses for bad writing.

There’s the fact that the Trio were ONLY threats to Equestria because of Discord. Chrysalis was crazy and no longer had her army, and Tirek and Cozy Glow were in Tartarus. So, even if his plan didn’t go horribly wrong, the Mane Six would have essentially had to clean up a mess HE made.
 
And even if the Trio hadn’t turned on him, there’s still the fact that Discord planned to RUIN THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF TWILIGHT’S LIFE BY SENDING THE TRIO AFTER HER THE DAY OF HER CORONATION.

He didn’t gamble with their lives tho don’t u remember discord saying he was acting as a safety net plus he believes in the mane 6 to overcome anything especially considering they defeated them before…why can’t they again? From his mindset nothing would go wrong because of his powers which honestly besides the bell there would be no logical way they could one up him. At worst his plan would led to the defeat of unremorseful bad guys and give my friends the confidence to be great leaders. - that was his mindset everything else was a unintentional messup, your making him out to be worst than he is.

@DerpyFast  
Discord is far from a dumbass hes very intelligence he manipulated the mane 6 in his first appearance but lose because he didn’t get rid of the elements. He was manipulating the trio for months before getting betrayed when he underestimated them. He has often manipulated events to go his way. He came up with the plan to free starlight which he had to trick 3 smart villains to do. The problem is his extreme arrogance bites him in the butt whether and at times stil struggling with friendship then actually being dumb.

@CORDZ2000
 
Regardless of whether or not it worked, he had no right to gamble with people’s lives. His friends could’ve gotten hurt, and worse yet he was always planning on the Legion of Doom to get hurt, maybe even killed.

….

@CORDZ2000  
He is a really shit mentor then.

@Mediocre-Grimm  
U should just read em

@CORDZ2000
 
Sorry, I replied to the wrong person.
 
I haven’t read the comics. Does Discord try to make amends  
with the Legion of Doom?

@Andyxdr
 
 
I haven’t seen the comics. Did he try to make amends with the Legion of Doom?

@CORDZ2000  
Yes, indeed.

SPOILER: he actually has grown from this if u see s10@Mediocre-Grimm

@DerpyFast  
Maybe, but who says things like this can’t make a story or character interesting? Also, Discord is clearly a strong believer in the idea of growth through adversity.

@DerpyFast
 
 
That’s pretty much how I feel. He didn’t learn anything. He didn’t learn why what he did was wrong or why it wasn’t fair to the Legion of Doom.

I’m willing to accept that it’s in-character for Discord. But by the end of the show, Discord was just sort of a dumbass who couldn’t think before acting. Like, say what you want about his intentions, but what he did was objectively stupid and careless.
 
Imagine if Discord was characterized as this asshole trickster god that the ponies put up with because there’s nothing they can do about him. He’s always in control of the situation. They can’t browbeat him; he snaps things back to normal because he’s had his fun. Then, him losing control the Legion of Doom situation would actually mean something. These villains pulled a fast one, and now the being that’s always in control has just lost control. That would be a real “oh crap” moment.
 
Instead, Discord consistently screws up even the most basic tasks, so of course he was going to screw this up. Losing control of the situation should have been a humbling experience for him, but if he didn’t learn his lesson from getting betrayed by Tirek, there’s no reason to assume he learned anything this time, either. It’s only a matter of time before he tries something like this again.
