Sadly while he shows the ability to be able to do what he wants he much rather have his share of fun relishing in the disharmony he has made, which does make him overconfident but he has a right to be so. He seems to be incredibly strong with magic, much stronger then Twilight Sparkle since she couldn’t stop his influence in the episode, and he managed to take away her horn, along with Rarity’s and Fluttershy and Dash’s wings like it was a walk in the park. With his name comes his appearance, a being made up of many different animals in chaos to create a creature, it works very well. What Discord lacks in a bad ass appearance, he more then makes up for in bad ass personality and cleverness. Our villain and host for the evening, one who made life in Equestria a life in hardship and kick started Celestia and Luna’s rise in power.Īn instant favorite villain of mine. Quickly introduces the villain and the stakes that are in place, and ends on a cliffhanger leaving you to guess what Discord will do with the world. Overall a good season opener/finale part 1.
It also serves as a clever Plot device where he uses Rainbow Dash’s loyalty against her to make her “cheat” and win against the heroes.
It’s pretty dark for a kids cartoon when you get down to it. Turning Pinkie pie’s happy go lucky personality into bitter and angry, Applejack from an honest gal to a liar and so forth. We see what Discord is really capable of and watch as he twists each pony’s personality to their polar opposite. It just looks awesome, and gave us a good taste of Discord. One of my favorite moments in the episode involves Discord as a stained glass figure flying around the castle’s windows. No physical appearance of her or anything, more so with the ending of this two parter. What stinks is that during the scene with Princess Celestia she mentions her Sister Luna having beaten Discord before, but only by name and a picture on a stained glass window. It was also nice to see Twilight put so much hope into her magic and have it fail, something I like to see with main characters. It was interesting to see how it happens though, Cotton candy clouds filled with chocolate rain, Corn suddenly popping and whatnot. It builds up the chaos a little quickly but well enough you know everything’s gone to heck. WHY it wasn’t I haven’t quite figured out yet.Īs for the episode It gives us one of the best villains I’ve seen in a long time, however short lived. These WERE supposed to be the season finale to Season 1, and it shows that. Now here’s the odd thing about this and part 2. Season 2 Episode 1: The Return of Harmony Part 1: Thankfully I did an introduction already with the first season, so we get to shoot straight into the action However, as you’re reading this it’s almost time for the season finale and I owe it too everyone in the faction, and other fans, and the haters, to get back and work on this before the season’s over.
Since then I was reluctant to go back and continue. I have to tell you is that I had a lot of this done before months ago, but I was an idiot and left my Flash drive in my pants and they went through the wash and everything was destroyed. Where I’ll talk about my thoughts on the 2nd season of this show.įirst thing’s first. Welcome back to, what I believe to be, the most popular MLP blog here on GT for its sequel. It's here! Months of work, disappointment, and frustration has all come to this.
