What About Discord thoughts · 10:19pm Nov 7th, 2015
I thought it was an okay episode, but I was disappointed by the lack of troublemaking on Discord's part. Still not used to his being all 'buddy-buddy' with the Mane Six. This is probably the only Discord episode I've seen that I wouldn't watch again.
Still, he did seem like he deliberately wanted to get Twilight jealous. Realistically, it was probably a 'tough love' thing, but I'm still hoping it's a hint he might double-cross the Mane Six, or at least cause trouble for them. (Yes, I did like him better as a villain).
But hey, that's what fanfiction is for!
I too thought it was just okay, and unfortunately it's going to be one of my least liked episodes of the season. I think my biggest issue with the episode is the structure around the in-jokes. Since we, like Twilight, weren't there when the rest of the group bonded with Discord, we also don't get why the jokes are funny, and to me they just came off as stupid and irritating. And since the majority of the episode is spent on these in-joke gags, I was just bored throughout the whole thing (with the exception of a few of Discord's visual gags, which are always funny to me).
I was really hoping for another great Discord episode like "Make New Friends But Keep Discord", but this one was just disappointing. Hopefully we'll get some better ones next season.
3529486 I agree with you.
I really hope they do have some improved Discord episodes next season.
(I also still kinda wish he'd turn bad again, but that's beside the point. I do hope he remains a jerk though).
