As stated I was not part of this-you made an another assumption.
 
All I wanted to do here was tell you which alternate timeline you were referring to.
 
I frankly don’t care what fans of his think. He’s a prime example of an abuse of power and someone who is not trustworthy by any stretch getting free passes every-time he screws up because of who he knows and is friends with.
 
Outside of that he’s by and large exactly on the same level villainy as the three. Him being happy-go lucky and cheery abput it instead of venomous and jerkish about it doesn’t change that.
 
You make an assumption on something we do not have any evidence-I.E people in the forest, I return with a question that has far more weight which is how many people did Discord torment to the point of no return and we just don’t care because they either died and no one knew or it’s history?
 
I’m not part of this argument, you want me to join? Because I don’t think you’ll enjoy it.

They did depower, and imprison them all though, which is the closest thing they could do to that.
 
Plus, there are other ways to do evil, then just killing,

Still, if they’d have crushed her hope by killing everyone she loved and idolized, not only would they have won, if even for a millisecond, their stone imprisonments would’ve been even more justified.

I dunno why you guys always gatta bring Discord into the argument, and try to paint him as an unforgivable, and a worse villain then he actually is, in order to make the finale trio look better. If anything, it’s probably turning Discord fans away from your side.
 
@Smart Heart  
Let’s face it, there’s no way they could get away with all that…
GrimChariot

@Beau Skunky  
I wasn’t part of the argument I was just clearing up the situations you were referencing.
 
But if thats the logic you want I wonder how many people Discord drove to suicide psychosis and murder during his prior rule.
 
Chrysalis and Tirek are by no measure worse then any other villain, and assuming the random forest had a town in it is by and large an assumption.
Smart Heart

@Beau Skunky  
Still, if they killed Spike regardless of the trade, then, I’d be lenient about their stone imprisonment. If they truly were as evil as they claimed, they’d have ripped Spike’s wings of and blasted him into ashes once they got the bell back. Then they’d get a good laugh at Twilight’s face as all her hope was gone.

Well, there’s different varieties of evil, and just because a villain keeps their word, doesn’t mean they aren’t evil. Thanos had some morals too, like he didn’t believe in lying, and looked down on it, but he did terrible things regardless.
Smart Heart

@Beau Skunky  
What I was trying to get at was if he were truly evil, he’d have killed her friends regardless if she surrendered her magic or not. Same with the trio when they were holding Spike hostage for the bell.

And you don’t believe the slight possibility that there any casualties in that timeline? And who’s to say he only destroyed (or was going to) a forest?
 
@Smart Heart  
I assume Tirek would’ve attacked/killed them if they continued to interfere with his conquest. His first reaction when the Rainbowfied powered-up Mane 6 was to try to blast them, which didn’t end well for him,

@Beau Skunky  
I’m not part of this but Tirek was basically turning the Everfree/random forest into a war zone for…some reason, the empty wasteland was the last one and we don’t get an explanation as to who or what caused that one.
Smart Heart

@Beau Skunky  
Much as I hate to say it, I agree on those two. I’m actually surprised Tirek kept his promise for releasing Twilight’s friends after getting the alicorn magic. Plus everyone else for releasing Spike after getting the bell.

@asdtroi  
I hate to jump back in this argument, (as it’s going nowhere) but in regards to that Tirek “leaves everybody alone, and doesn’t hurt anyone” remark, didn’t one of those possible futures Twilight witnessed in the Season 5 finale show a full-power Tirek reducing Equestria to a burning wasteland? Not to mention his physical fight with Twilight was surprisingly violent, or at least as much as a MLP cartoon could get away with.
 
And another timeline had Chrysalis waging war with Equestrians, and such, so she’s not exactly peaceful & nonviolent either, and she hurt Celestia before, and such. So I don’t think either are above “killing.”

And when did Cozy try to kill them before the finale? She only threatened to send them to another dimention, which Discord also tried to do to a pony. She was also oddly merciful when it came to guards. Tirek was content to leave his drained victims alone and was willing to keep his end of the bargain when he gave back Twilight’s friends after she gave him the princesse’s magic. Chrysalis only ever went for captures.
 
 
@CORDZ2000  
Neither is Discord.

Tirek especially. He was the only one specifically detestable right from the first line and frame and there wasn’t ever the slightest attempt to mitigate it. The other two had their moments of doubt. In the end, I’m satisfied.

Not at first, but they were pawns in Discord’s scheme in season nine.

Discord did things equally bad to the trio so if that limit exists, it should go to him as well.

they were given up on because unlike discord he never tried to kill them multiple times the characters have limits to there forgiveness.

@CORDZ2000  
The difference is that Discord was released and given a second chance by Celestia and was persistantly helped to reform by Fluttershy and constantly forgiven for every misdeed afterwards. The trio were immedietly given up on and recieved no help to reform. Had those three got what Disocrd did, they very well might have ended up like him or better.
Smart Heart

@CORDZ2000  
But it still wasn’t morally sound. You might forgive him, but until he helps in reforming them, I won’t. Besides, it’s almost as if your saying the ends really do justify the means in this case.

Discord was honest about his intentions too but whatever agree to disagree on whats actually shown in canon
Smart Heart

@CORDZ2000  
Probably a good idea. I won’t budge an inch. Criminals they may be, but they also became victims of someone else’s game in season nine. What Discord did to them was inhumane and I will not change my stance on that. Until Discord does something to change that, I’m siding with these three criminals, because they at least were honest about their intentions.
