Well I thought earlier of making an edit to my “Change Starlight’s Mind” pic by putting in “The Trio can still be reformed. Change my mind.” but I decided to just make an entire new pic using some assets of them from recent art. Had lots of fun doing this!
So what do you guys think? Can they all be reformed? I’ve said this before but I do think they can be reformed, yes even Tirek, and I have some fanfic ideas for how it can happen in “Flurry Heart’s Story”.

If G5 is anything to go by, she wasn’t a good ruler either.
Hey the ticket onboard is free. If you don’t like it Vamooshhh my friend!
Spiteful pretty much yes…
No, they just punished them in other overly cruel ways instead of offering them rehabilitation.
Equestria decided Pffff hahahahah nice one!
Yeh ive seen some argue Equestria decided to throw stones at them instead of offer them rehabilitation.
Hated what happened to them but I smirk at that comment
Then you wonder why all those peeps on fimfiction raided ya… You just ask for it rubbing it in their faces..
A terrified Celestia and Luna being tormented by him in an Equestria thats barely recognizable and with no other ponies around. Totally not evil.

How do you know that Zecora died and wasn’t just knocked out? How do you know that no one died under Discord’s alternate history reign of terror?
@Background Pony #6AA8
So Chrysalis’s intentions to feed her subjects also matter then. Good to know. And even then, what Discord did was still unjustifiable. He manipulated, lied to and gave false hope to three people who already got severely and in two cases too saverely punished for their crimes with the intent to have them fail. Where was his good intentions with them? Where was his good intentions when he did things a thousend years ago that made ponies remember him as having a heart as cold as stone? What was the good intention when he escaped his prison and when he sided with Tirek?
@Background Pony #6AA8
Like how he the Main 6 should have been happy to put him back to stone after all he put them and Equestria to even after being given the second chance that the trio never got?
He should smile when turning the trio to stone honestly screw them they spent all day tryna kill him and his friends i would smugly smile too if I got rid of those shitbags
Intentions do freaking matter when one characters intentions are to take over dominate for control and power and anothers intentions are to benefit someone else to be a capable leader yes intentions DO AND WHILE ALWAYS FREAKING MATTER
Also Like we see zecora get killed on screen in chrysalis future are we really gonna compare discord getting that piece of shit who started ww2 getting killed to zecora who Is a nice pony who has kindly helped our heroes constantly
Um so wat about the war in her bad future that has implied to end in death have anything to do with feeding subjects. What about tireks mindless destruction in his bad future. And then we see discords bad future were he just has Celestia and Luna as his personal clowns. Sombra started ww2 in his bad future. Is this short term memory? Even with discords reign hes shown to be a lighter shade of black even back then when he was a villain in comparison. Nothing about getting these guys defeated while having good intentions can be considered ‘evil’ morally questionable maybe but evil is a strong world. @Smart Heart
@Harshie83
Well i wasn’t trying to argue anymore just offering a different perspective so yea whatever u wanna think
Edited
Innocent or not, its still not justifiable, especially if he gets to get away with it while those three don’t even get so much as an offer of a second chance.
@CORDZ2000
He learns lessons on how not to be horrible only to later do something horrible. And again, this doesn’t change the fact that the only reason he keeps learning these lessons is because he was given a chance and plenty of help to do so. And as for the Grogar thing, that was legitimately one of the worst things he ever did. He manipulated the trio in horrible ways and set them up for failure.
Helping his friends by willingly endangering a bunch of ponies and again, doing something genuenly horrible to the already punished trio and then going so far as to sadistically beg for them to get turned to stone. As for the trio, their actions are no worse then those of the previously reformed villains. Even Chrysalis’s threat can be countered by Discord’s Equestria wide reign of terror a thousend years ago, Starlight’s attack on her own villagers and Tempest aiding the conquest of multiple nations. And Chrysalis’s words can easily be countered by Discord mocking the ponies for trying to reform him.
Intention doesn’t matter when Discord looks horrible, the heroes look like hypocrits and the trio got an overly cruel and unfair punishment.
I can see what your coming from but i do want to note that he would always learn a lesson at the end of the episode and come back slightly nicer than the last in a later one except for matter of… for ex he was mean and dismissive to big mac and spike and then later they became friends as to which in that episode hes dismissive of love and then later in their last ep together he was happy to hear big Mac getting married. Even tho matter of was a big step backwards he does later ask to be involved instead in Summer Sunsetback. The Finale plenty people saw as ruining his character completely and showing he didn’t learn anything, forgetting that the grogar thing probably wouldn’t have happened if he didn’t actually care about anyone.
He was trying to help his friends be successful leaders, the writers intentions were obviously to portray Discord as someone who was a flawed being who had a misguided if well intended goal who was called out for it and made up for it and later punishes villains who they meant to be seen as irredeemable for things such as trying to tear off spikes wings and chrysalis saying they’ll never change and rightly deserve to be punished.
The writers ofc didn’t intend how sympathetic many would be towards the trio and how much people would be mad at discords actions as they obviously saw it like me as discord being a spirit of chaos and using chaos to help his friends and just not thinking things through. Im not saying because the writers intended it a certain way means thats how u have to see it that way but just offering different perspectives.

To be fair u know he wouldn’t do that to innocent creatures right? I mean i know chrysalis is your queen but innocent Hmmm not saying Discord is innocent either ofc.
I agree. The smug look on his face after stoning the Mean 3 was sickening.
Same here.
I used to like Discord as well and loved his redemption, but as the show went on they just kept making me question just how much he’s changed and when the trio weren’t even given a second chance after Discord got so many, it just made me hate him. And even before that, he just kept on being consistantly horrible in almost every episode he was in.
Fair. worth to note i Dont exactly completely disagree with asdftroi just because i love discord and feel like hes misunderstood
I had to agree with asdftroi, my dear. Sorry.
