Description

Because that would be too sugar-coated even for MLP, and Discord is just too perfect as a villain.

She never did. Right until the end he save 4 villains, gave them power and had them nearly kill everyone and doom Equestria.

“I promise to use my powers for good instead of evil (most of the time)”.

agreed, he’s a mind raping monster, full aware of the suffering he causes and loves it, he deserves to be locked up.

I don’t think Discord was ever “evil”.  
He reminds me of Puck from Gargoyles. Yeah Puck was a dick at times, but he was never really evil, just a trickster. Im thinking the moral will be sometimes you can’t change someone completely, but you may be able to keep them from being an ass all the time :3

Pretty soft for a Sony.
Discord being a cursed version of Star Swirl the Bearded would be awesome !!!  
Although I’ll be okay with anything, I just want to see the show and its story line progress, if they were to keep all of the characters the same with no major plot changes or new directions they run the risk of stagnation.  
So far everything else has been okay, Discord is a pretty big character so I’m sure they thought this through.

It doesn’t have to be TOO drastic of a change. Maybe they’ll at least get him on the ‘neutral’ side of the scale of good vs. evil.  
Hell, getting him at a state where he isn’t literally flipping Equestria upside-down at any given time would probably be deemed a success.

I can see this going two ways.
 
Discord turns good:  
Moral: Anyone can change if just given the chance.
 
Discord stays evil:  
Moral: Some people can’t be reasoned with. They can’t be bought or bullied. Some people just want to watch the world burn.

We’ve seen before how sadistic Discord can be, when he mind-warped the mane 6 and took great pleasure from it, right?
 
I think they’re just trying to make him less of a douche; he’d still be a free-spirit, but he wouldn’t hurt others in the process.

He’s a chaos spirit. If he tried to be anything else, he’d be denying his own existence.
Background Pony #DE9A
Chaos isn’t necessarily evil. Would be too surprised to see him get his own place to fill with wild and random happenings for thrillseeking ponies.
