Do you think Discord's being genuine here, or do you think he's up to something?

Personally, I can imagine Discord trying to be friends with the rest of the Mane 6, but is having trouble doing so (partly because they don't entirely trust him yet). So, he does something to get them to like him.

>>25342225
It can go one of two ways.

The simple way is that Twilight suspects Discord has done something to her friends to make them more affable towards him. In the end, she finds out her suspicions were false and she becomes more amiable towards Discord.

Or the "character's suspicions were right" route like in A Canterlot Wedding but this time Discord used a spell to make the ponies more friendly towards him and that resulted in their bonds growing. Twilight finds out, Discord apologizes, the Mane 6 are mad for a little bit, and then they forgive him and he learns a lesson about how you can't force people to be your friends or something along those lines.

I think it's going to be the former.

I have a bad feeling about this episode. I'm afraid it will be predictable as fuck with Discord mindcontrolling the Mane 6 because "they would never become friends with him otherwise". And then we'll get some bullshit moral that friendship can't be forced and has to be given time to develop. It will probably be written by Neal Dusedau, the writer of Princess Spike.

Firstly, what was wrong with that episode? It was one of my favorites and it was fun and had a decent message not to take everything at face value.

Second, if this upcoming episode does what you suggest and makes Twilight a nervous wreck mistakenly trying to prove Discord is up to no good when he's really not, all the faggots that hate Twilight for being "le perfect mary sue princess" will love the episode for making her at fault and wrong for once and praise it for shitting on her character.
>>
>>25342735
>What was wrong with that episode
Frankie's point of view was completely reasonable: any sane person looking at Goofball with his human appearance, constant pauses that make it look he's making things up on the fly, and frequent inability to give a straight believable answer would give anyone doubt. For the message you claim it provides not to take things at face value, you seem to forget that literally everyone else did EXACTLY THAT: believing Goofball's honestly shady as fuck story without a second thought. Frankie was completely in the right to think he was up to something, and all of it could have easily been avoided if he had just taken off the clown nose in the first minute.

What's more, Goofball was a total shit, making Frankie's stressful job harder than it already was to his antics, and the concert she was dreaming of going to since before he arrived is ruined by his mere presence. No body sees it from Frankie's point of view, is consistently shit on by the rest of the cast in support of this new asshole that just showed up out of the view, her dream concert she is forbidden from going from to this concert she works her ass off for the entire episode because she tried to prove a point that in no way negatively affected this shitlord. And then they all have the fucking gall to mock her about how great the concert was upon arrival back from it. It was just one of the most unpleasant, mean-spirited treatment of a good character who doesn't deserve the shit she's putting up with. It's like the Simpsons episode where everyone shits on Bart and pushes him to suicide for losing a kids' baseball game.

Frankie did literally nothing wrong and was punished and ostracized unfairly for a shit reason. It was god-awful. If the message was not to take everything at face value, then they should have given Frankie the trust she's earned.
>>
>>25341910
Spike has been written well all season and most of Season 4.
>>
>>25342917
The difference with this though is that Twilight knows Discord while Goofball was a complete stranger.
>>
>>25342735
>all the faggots that hate Twilight for being "le perfect mary sue princess" will love the episode for making her at fault and wrong for once and praise it for shitting on her character.

Shitting on a character is never a good way of developing them. I'm all for Twilight being flawed and making mistakes but if anyone blames her for doubting Discord I ask them to remember that time he nearly SENT AN INNOCENT PONY TO ANOTHER DIMENSION just because she was having fun with one of his friends. Not to mention that Twilight already had this problem in Lesson Zero, three years ago: she's not the type to get overly obsessed anymore and re-doing that would undo tons of development for her.
>>
>>25342489

>>
>>25342935
I know this is bait, but constantly giving a support character an idiot ball that was also always loyal to the show's main protag is never a good idea and is the main reason why spikefags are so vocal about how he is handled.

Additionally giving a poorly handled support character his own episode(s) each season is almost always a bad idea. Atm, the only good episodes that focus on him are episodes where he is paired with other main characters.
>>
>>25342974
>>25342974
>re-doing that would undo tons of development for her.

Not all character development is a good thing anon.

One of the things that made Twilight relatable as a character early on is that the show wasn't afraid to show that although she had a great deal of strength, she also had her fair share of flaws, was vulnerable at times and often needed the support of Spike and her 5 close friends.

She isn't going to lose any of her maturity if the show has an episode where she is knocked down a peg or two.

>>
>>25342599
IT IS written by the guy who wrote Princess Spike. Confalone already confirmed that.


I'm pretty sure such noobish writer probably went the "Discord mind control and act like an asshole" route. And Meghan approved it because
A) she like Discord as an asshole (thus his betrayal in TK)
B) she want Twilight to always be right and smarter than Discord.
>>
>>25342917
I disagree, in fact I would say that her insistent behavior of demanding the others believe her is what pushed the others toward acting the way they did and as such made what she got deserved because of it. It's been a while since I saw that episode, but if I remember correctly she steadily grew more and more hysterical toward the others through out and refused to consider how they felt about it because she was so sure of herself.

Now on the other hand, we have something like ACW where a somewhat similar plot took place, but in this case Cadance was somebody that Twilight did know personally and wasn't some complete stranger like goofball was, so the plot falls flat there because she would have reasonable doubt about Cadances authenticity.

>>25342974
I agree?

>>25342935
>>25342992
See, this is dumb because Spike as a character has been written well through out the whole series, but people selectively focus on specific poorly written episodes or episodes where they didn't like a character's portrayal to form some overarching idea of how the character is written or portrayed.

>>25343038
And then there's this shitty attitude.
>A character has to be relatable and flawed to be a good character, and as soon as they experience any development that pulls them out of that niche they are no longer a good character
>"Not all character development is a good thing"
What, in this case, makes it bad? Because the episode it happened in was rushed? Because Twilight grew out of making mistakes and having flaws as much as she had in earlier seasons?
And why do you feel the show needs an episode to "knock her down a peg or two"?
>>
>>25341835
What's confusing me so far is that I'm trying to figure out if "sneaky snake" was an actual attempt at a joke or if it's to showcase how unreasonably over-the-top Rainbow is being with Discord. If it was what the writer actually thought was humor, I'm incredibly worried this episode will be horrible and filled with "lol so random" shit using Discord as its arbitrator.
>>
I find it interesting that Discord episodes seem to revolve around jealousy- first Discord for Tree Hugger, now potentially Twilight for Discord.
>>
>>25342735
Look, an inherent part of Twilight's personality is that she needs to have things under control. Most of the time this is good because it leads her to see problems coming before they happen and makes her dedicated to any task she takes on. However, its downside is that she can end up falling into a panic when she doesn't understand something.

I don't want this episode to just repeat Lesson Zero, but it would make perfect sense for her to get stressed about something that doesn't appear to make sense even if there isn't really any danger. Caution is in her nature.
>>
>>25341875
>Back to evil next season

Doubt they'd pull that off again, especially since he made a big fuck up during Tirek's reign.
>>
>>25343253
But Goofball was a total stranger to all of the other Foster's residents as well: they had no more evidence on hand to prove he was who he says he was than Frankie had evidence he wasn't (arguably even less, since Goofball so stubbornly refused to take off the fake nose, looks 99% human, and who's attitude of being a general freeloader making Frankie's life a hell should have lost some cred for him as well).

And through all of that, the worst part of it was how she was punished: Herriman forcing her to miss the concert was entirely unjustified and undeserved. She works harder than every single asshole who lives in this joint, despite Goofball's antics never for a moment failed to accomplish her work all the same, and was only forbidden from going for putting on a costume and attempting to prove a point on how easy it was to fool Herriman into how easily he could mistake a human for an imaginary friend (a point she PROVED: Herriman fell for it hook line and sinker). Such a 'betrayal of trust' wouldn't hardly qualify as anything worse than a harmless prank in any other episode but this one, and despite her busting her ass for the other 90% of the episode she's still forced the shit end of the stick with no one else standing up for her despite all she does. It's just horribly distasteful to watch this poor girl put up with this kind of bull.

Her hysteria should have given them reason to prove she was wrong, not tell her to shut up, stop doubting this believably shady prick, and get back to work and then screw her over when she doesn't accept such a draconian demand.
>>
>>25343297
That clip was so unnatural and humorless that i was 90% sure that Discord was mind controlling her (and thats why they were speakiing at the same time)

If thats not the case then Neal Dusedau just suck dicks at writing (and Meghan at editing)

>>25343305
Not much about jealousy, but Twilight just not buying that Discord suddenly changed for the better. After Threes a Crowd and Twilight Kingdom, She will think twice or thrice to trust him.
>>
>>25343305
He'd make a nice episode pair for Rarity.
>>
>>25341835
I honestly want Discord to somehow have made friends with them in a legit way.

But I guess they will go the predictable way and have him influence/control them somehow.
>>
>>25341835
If he mind control them then fluttercord is ruined. And Twicord, PinkieCord and SpikeCord too! There is no way they will just forgive this fuck up and befriend him in a normal way.

Which comes off as a little bit immature, don't you think? Similar to how Spike tried to frame Owlicious by faking he slaughtered a mouse. I think, regardless of the persons previous merits, if they pull some devious unwarranted trickery like that they deserve punishment. Not once did she calmly try to explain her doubt, instead choosing to act obnoxious about it and try to prove it with forced actions.
But it seems you may have some bias towards Frankie as a character that might have affected how you took certain treatment of her. That's understandable, and rather quite reflective of Spikefan's views regarding this show.

Discord is Discord, he is going to make random gaga no matter if it's Dusedau or McCarthy or Larson.

I'm more worried about shitting on his entire character by making him unsufferable. The noobish writer need to realise that making entire episode about him actning like an asshole would no longer work after Tirek episode. I still hope it's the episode where Discord is right, but my expectations are low.
>>
>>25343904
But his randomness always has a point, like annoying people, being patronizing, or while doing something. If he's just random for the sake of random with nothing leading up to it or coming of it, it'll be shit, especially if it's a ton of gags where each of the mane 5 are all cracking up at the randomness, which is the direction I suspect they're going with this.

I disagree with your disagreement. Her immediate suspicions weren't unfounded at all: none of Goofball's story checked out until the very end of the episode. There was every possible chance what Frankie suspected was true but not a single fuck was given to the possibility, nor was any attempt made by the others to fairly discount any of her reasonable claims. I realize that ALL of the Fosters residents are, by definition, freeloaders, but his particular rude attitude was never addressed either.

Was it immature? Maybe but look at this freaking madhouse they live in. Herrimen of all friends doesn't have any moral high grounds in terms of maturity. The most mature fucker in this entire show is the 8 year old.

Did it prove her point? It did, absolutely. The difference between Spike's framing of Owlicious and Frankie's fooling Herrimen is that A) Frankie's issue wasn't based in jealousy, but in how this new guy was treating her like dirt and his clearly dubious background, and B) Frankie's point was entirely justified: Herrimen will mistake any human for an imaginary friend with minimal amount, which is what she wanted so he would think again about Goofball. Spike's trick wasn't based on proving any kind of point and was strictly for getting his opponent in trouble. It's more akin to that one trickster imaginary friend than Frankie's actions.

I may be biased towards Frankie as I would have little issue if this happened to a shithead like Bloo, but Frankie is just about the nicest and most honestly GOOD person on this show. To see an episode shit on her for the flimsiest of reasons is viable for leaving a bad taste in the mouth.

He's written well quite often. Just not in his own episodes.

I forgot how cute that laugh was.

For fucks sake this better not turn into yet ANOTHER attempt by Discord to cause disharmony for a greater evil. Let him be a dick, yes, fine, but this whole "learned mah lesson bout being a douche" needs to stop.

Well, there goes all my hype. This has potential to be one of the worst episodes of the show if he turns Discord into an asshole again. You'd think he'd know by now that mind control isn't how you make friends.

>You'd think he'd know by now that mind control isn't how you make friends.
I don't think he'd need it. He's got a lot of nigh-omnipotent power with which he could indulge his friends, which could certainly make it fun to hang out with him.

Hell, that might actually be what leads to the problem in this episode. Discord being -too- nice and helpful with his godlike powers, and his new friends taking advantage of that and letting their influence over him go to their heads. Maybe they start asking for increasingly extreme favors, or start roping him into various schemes and generally taking advantage of him?

I mean, seriously. If you had a friend who was basically a god, who was also kind of lonely and desperate for attention, don't you think it's possible that you might end up taking advantage of him even if you didn't originally intend to?
>>

See >>25344772
He is also a Johnny Test writer.
>>
>>25344743
And his previous credits are Fish Hooks and Johnny Test. His background is short and not impressive and he did a shit job with his first MLP episode. Since he obviously couldn't learn anything between writing that one and this upcoming one, I'm convinced it will have the same "humor" as his other stuff, which is shit.

What does that matter? People were apprehensive about him before that episode and were completely justified in the end. Don't forget, he can't learn from his mistakes because these episodes were already produced. If he felt his first episode was good, then why would his formula change for this one?

This is going to piss me off, I can already tell.

Sadly I kind of have to agree although I take a more wait and see approach.

Has a writer gone from bad to decent within a season before?

>>25344997
Yeah, but the source is Twitter, not this thread. For the source to be this thread it would have to include posts from this thread. Since it's a screencap of Twitter, that's the correct source.

I want to say Merriwether Williams, but she has a long history of writing credits with some great stuff in it.

I don't have any confidence that this guy will improve at all till next season.

I love Rainbow Dash's laugh.
Wonder if he'll get scenes with each of the main 6. That should be interesting.

>>25345085
Mysterious Mare Do Well is still probably the worst episode in the entire series three seasons later. It just fucked up so badly.
>>
>>25345153
It works better if you imagine it taking place over a long period of time, but yeah, it was pretty bad (though in line with the morals of Boast Busters for sure)

Nick Confalone wrote Party Pooped as an arguably bad episode and then Hearthbreakers as an arguably good episode.

Everything twillight touches goes to hell in a hand bag. From Flutterbat to having a town inflatuated by a doll because she needed a "friendship problem" to making the parasprites eat every single thing. Yeah the list goes on, far cry from perfect.
>>
>>25345415
And yet Celestia, all of Ponyville and all of her friends put her on this undeserved pedestal.

That episode will now be known to me as the one where Twilight induced uncontrollable farting to everyone in town.

God damn it I'm dying
>>
>>25345273
>arguably
But that's a keyword there. You can argue they're good or bad. In the case of Princess Spike, however, it's almost impossible to argue it as being good.
>>
>>25345556
>"Spike, we have to stop this before the methane levels get too high! The slightest spark and Ponyville will be nothing more than a fart in the wind!"

really though, on the subject of Twi being elevated by Celestia and her friends, I think it's just another thing about friendship. Friendship is about potential and the ability to learn from each-other, not about being perfect. Twilight is being elevated into higher and higher friendship-based positions, and while it's giving her status, it's in no way making her perfect. She's short-sighted, tends to not understand what other people desire, and often tries to brute force problems to fix them.
>>
>>25345574
It's pretty close to being objectively bad in that there are clear moments where the audience goes "Wait, this doesn't really make sense."

It presents Spike's actions as taking advantage of Twilight's name, but the stuff that he does that sets up the failure at the end is done when he's still trying to help Twilight. The stuff he did when he was "selfish" did literally nothing.

The narrative is trying to push the viewer in one direction when a completely opposite view of the events seems obvious to them. It's why the episode is so weird. It seems contrived and not based in its own reality.
>>
>>25345574
I would argue that it was not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, just like with EqG and season 3.
>>
>>25345625
Discord will be back to be a bad guy in Season 6.
>>
>>25342352
That's a big snake.
>>
>>25341835
So, if the title is referencing "What about Bob?", then Discord will have actually genuinely made friends with everyone, and Twilight is going to be made out to be the bad guy until the end when Discord saves her perception by saying or doing something that redeems her actions and teaches the lesson about not thinking the worst of people like in Party of One, but in a different flavor.

Yup, that look fishy alright. Even if is just Twilight overreacting, at least we can understand her position. I would do the same. Especially knowing that Discord have a thing toward Twilight and She knows that he will try to annoy her somehow.

He is going to have a scene with every Mane6. There will be no time to show Princesses. Or any Ponyville character for that matter.

Act II
AppleJack/Discord
Fluttershy/Discord

Twilight confronts Discord + ending message

I want a greentext where Rainbow Dash is taking advantage of Discord. He is clueless about sex and she would fool him into eating out her pussy. Or telling him to turn into a smaller snake and "find the reason for her itch in nether regions"

>>25341835
Discord made friends with them, but only with the intent of fucking with twilight. Why else would he go through the effort in only 3 days?

Its still unrealistic and wierd that Dash befriended him in just 3 days to the point of synchronising her movement with his. It's either Discord controlling her or shitty writing and character inconsitency.

The worst moment was the Yak episode. Celestia fucking said Twilight saved the day when all she did was run around and panic. Pinkie saved the day and Celestia didn't thank her? Swear to god Meghan had a role in that, knowing she's obsessed with Twilight. Thank god she's leaving the show

>>25345504
Doesn't help that she's getting a pupil in the finale in Starlight Glimmer. So yup Twilight gets even MORE stuff while her friends get jack shit. Thanks Meghan, you sure did listen to people's legit complaints

I feel like Zecora became Season 1-2 Celestia, in that she is a mentor figure to Twilight and makes appearances sparingly in situations where her help is needed.
>>
>>25351682
And thankfully unlike Celestia, we still know little about her.
>>
>>25351617
The whole Yak visit was Twilight's idea and execution. Pinkie merely saved the day when Twilight's plans failed. It was still her base idea though, as a politician, even though she nearly started a war.

As for the finale, who gives a shit? Wait and see how it goes.
>>
>>25351697
I personally don't want to see where she came from, other Zebras or ponies turning into Zebras.
>>
>>25351732
They do bring up the Zebra homeland in the journal of the two sisters, but it doesn't have anything specifically to do with Zecora besides a short history on why Zebras developed potions and such.
>>

Twilight Sparkle is not getting a student, she'll lose her wings in the finale.

>>
>>25341854
why does the animation quality of this looks lower than usual?
>>
>>25352763
There isn't even any background music, so I'm guessing it's a production bit that hasn't been refined.
