You know discord isn’t like that all the time and u know the situation is more complicated than that in general. Discord also has tea time with fluttershy and hangs out playing O&O with spike and big mac or just like everyone else going on impulse and then learning a new lesson about life. He can’t really be put into the bad or good category most of the time because he’s not fully either and he’s a weird case because even eos he’s still going through his metamorphose he’s still growing even in season 10 issues. He causes more bad than good but more than half of the time, if you watch his episodes he didn’t even realize he was doing something wrong in the first place because as a formerly friendless immortal despot of chaos he’s learning from scratch how to be human or uh…pony while needed to keep at least a degree of a element of his chaotic mindset. So yes he’s like in that gray area.

While Celestia does have a degree of the Designated Hero trope going on because shes treated as the paragon instead of being close to antihero as she can be pretty pragmatic and do things similar to discord such as send twilight after sombra in s3 to learn a lesson about being princess. Discord in the story would be treated as in the wrong for it or at least as a weird way of being helpful because he is portrayed as the anti-hero, but i promise u absolutely no one would call out celestia for doing the same thing with how the story is written. That being said to say shes just like chrysalis who seeks to terrorize and conquer is more than a bit of a stretch definitely yes.

I keep flashing back to that scene in “Mirror Magic”, where Juniper asks why are the heroines so eager to forgive Juniper, and then Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer and Sci-Twi lists their respective crimes, with Human Pinkie simply adding “We are a forgiving bunch” to the statement.
And that’s the issue with the Legion of Doom being “beyond redemption”: MLP heroines, both human and Pony alike, ARE a forgiving bunch. They’ll forgive any crime, no matter how heinous. The concept that they wouldn’t forgive the Legion seems iffy. Even the “the Legion endangered countless lives” justification doesn’t hold water: many of the forgiven villains endangered countless lives, either directly or indirectly.

A prideful bug who never wanted another solution to the problem of her kingdom and her modus operandi that may have harmed the changelings in the long run by having too many enemies that could lead to extinction.
Saying about Celestia putting her people in risk, but ignoring Chrysalis is a worse case isn’t fair, specially when a common changeling discovered the solution to their troubles but she still fights for some reason.
Also, if you add the IDW continuity (same continuity where Chrysals will be free), she is also a murder just for fun and don’t for needs.

You’ve got a good point.

He falls into the same category as everyone else.
If he must be a hostile force to everyone around him which is apparently an acceptable justification for his constant cruelty he can stay in his pocket dimension where no one gets hurt and have people visit him instead of being an active threat “because it’s how he is”
@Smart Heart
I really can’t. We have villains and supposed good guys guilty of worse things that succeeded getting a free pass and a mountain of effort to justify their reformation.
But the prideful bug with anger management and trust issues is irredeemable.
Doesn’t add up.

Even if they do come back to this, I have no hopes for them getting redeemed sadly…

Chrysalis may be the only villain I can accept as irredeemable.

An episode built around the reality subtext of a sizable portion of the fandom acknowledging a growing number of problems in the source material can’t really be taken seriously when it acts like those observations are entirely baseless.

You know what isn’t new? Bronies forgetting that Bronies exist because they took MLP FiM seriously in the first place.
And here I thought the fandom exists because people enjoy the show, and that there’s not only one way or reason people can enjoy something. Sounds like someone (well, a lot of people really) needs to go learn the lesson from Stranger Than Fan Fiction again.

You’re remembering it wrongly.
Bronies exist because they enjoy MLP:FIM, entirety or just partly. Sometimes having some serious analysis or discussion is part of that fun.
But once it becomes bickering and getting angry and / or becomes personal / meta, then the fun ends there.
As for my reason why I mostly shut up from all of these whole ordeal is simply because people start basing other actual people morality from fictional character treatment or its morality. Dont get me wrong, Im fine with peoples opinions on shows characters. Some people like villains being redeemed. As flawed as it is to other people, who could blame them? They enjoy the redemption.
Some other people just like evil fictional character without actually liking actual evil people in real life. Its not that those people are being evil, heartless, or “haters”, far from it. They enjoy the character, that’s all. I liked Chrysalis being evil and irredeemable as she can, yet I’m basically one of Chrysalis biggest fanboy because I enjoyed her character.
And also theres the fact that real people cannot be categorized as purely evil or good, black or white. It’s not as simple as that. Morality is subjective at best. Shows like FIM makes a clear distinction between those two moralities, but you cant simply apply it to real life (atleast for nearly all of them).
Thats my bit of a rant. Probably being deleted for being “too meta” but this is my once and done take of this whole situation. I hope people give this some thought atleast.
