Cullen’s the creator because he’s head of Boulder Media, the animation studio Hasbro bought. I don’t know if it’s been confirmed if he will continue as showrunner. He also wasn’t show’s character designer.

Faust was venerated because she came up with the original character designs and foundation for the show’s worldbuilding while also retooling the franchise from the ground up.

It’s the same thing with Derrick Wyatt/Transformers Animated or Ciro Neill/TMNT 2012.

I have no idea why the other characters put up with Discord, and don’t tell him to fuck off. That’s what you do when you keep giving someone chances, and they keep being an asshole. Made even worse by the fact that the show HAD an episode with the moral, “You can’t be friends with everyone, and sometimes you need to cut people out of your life” with Griffon the Brush Off.

@Background Pony #BAA6
Could be worse than betraying Fluttershy, which was my fear when she reformed Discord and everyone hated him.

@The Worst Person
Yet that didn’t happen.

@Background Pony #BAA6
He did betray Tirek and helped Starlight fight the changelings.

@Background Pony #F853
Would be more easier during the show’s run if they wouldn’t be pissed at him all the goddamn time.

@The Worst Person
I agree on that.

Given how Discord acts, why WOULDN’T they be pissed at him all the time?

@Background Pony #BAA6
I feel like after A Matter Of Principals, they should’ve put their foot down and really tried to set Discord straight.

@Background Pony #BAA6
Still, it’s like they want to betray Fluttershy and disassociate with her just because of Discord. Leading to possibilities of Evil vengeful Flutterbitch that Big Macintosh is always afraid of.

This shit is why I won’t, haven’t, don’t, and will NEVER ship Fluttercord. EVER.

@The Worst Person
But, again, he:
-helped them against Tirek
-helped Starlight against the changelings
-participated in the final battle

And through all that, they forgiven him. True, they still have every right to be angry at him, but wanting to betray fluttershy, they didn’t even want to, since she did redeem him and they know it.

But, I respect your opinion, since I won’t force you to ship it.

@The Worst Person
And before you start saying something, I’m aware that the mane 5 didn’t like him either, but again, she did redeem him and they know it.

@Helix988
Hmm, so Cullen is the creator?

@Background Pony #BAA6
They probably do sometimes, and he chooses whether not to listen. The power of a god is useful that way.

@The Worst Person
…huh?

@Background Pony #BAA6
Discord worked better as one off antagonist. Keeping him around raises all sorts of issues that could never be addressed while also keeping the spirit of the character.

@Background Pony #3F25
@Background Pony #3F25
Sheesh, God forbid people should be happy and act like it’s no big deal when someone is redeemed. Just like they did to Starlight. Twilight redeemed her and so far there is no “ree i am angry at you for stupid reasons” drama towards her like they do with Discord.

@Latecomer
You heard me, people hating him to the point of wanting to shun Fluttershy out of society over her reforming Discord is the reason why I am not fond of the ship.

@Background Pony #3F25
Two of those were situations he was directly responsible for.

@The Worst Person
Er, Starlight’s redemption is hugely controversial in the fandom.

And while I won’t doubt the limits of fan crazy, I myself have never seen Fluttershy shunned for her approach to Discord.

@Latecomer
True, but what I meant was, unlike with Discord, the mane cast are pretty chill with Starlight.

Maybe is the internalized “frick men” energy in the series’ crew (I refuse to use the M-word since someone doesn’t like it and treats it as nonexistent) or maybe they don’t want chaos in the friendship circle when it comes to Discord being Discord.

Also, if nobody is shunning Fluttershy for Discord, why was Pear Butter shunned for Bright Mac by the racist pears? Sorry for bringing a different topic, but still.

The two things have nothing to do with each other?

I’m honestly just getting sick and tired of this fandom and its arguments over canon material.

Like, it’s one thing to think that the finale was bad. It’s another thing to ignore what actually happened there, and insult the people who don’t agree with you.

@Penguin Dragneel
Happens in every fandom sadly.

Main examples being Sonic, Spyro, Crash, Undertale and Wings of Fire.
MLP can be one, too, as we see.

Honestly, i pass fix off as a AU.

@Latecomer
Yup, that’s agreeable.

To note:
I’ve seen a lot of fix fics on Fimfiction, but the forementioned fic might have the most controversy ever seen for a fix fic. And that’s saying something.

@Penguin Dragneel
One more thought: If (and a big IF) the three actually do get released in G5, will the author cancel the fic since he’s satisfied with how it went, or will he make it a AU?

@Background Pony #F853
Trust me, this fandom has the worst case of it I’ve ever seen.

At least when a Sonic fan does that s###, they get called out by almost the entire fandom.

@Penguin Dragneel
Well, i usually ignore it, honestly, but you bring up a good point.
