Are Frazzits really villains? They’re more like nuisances, and they lack the level of intelligence to have malice. It’s like saying a raccoon that steals garbage, or a dog that bites, is a villain.
Yeah, but I had heard that the bit with Discord and Tirek stealing the unicorns’ magic in a theater was similar to a scene in the episode with Arabus and Knight Shade…
Some people noted that the whole setup with Discord and Tirek in Twilight’s Kingdom actually seemed like references to Arabus and Knight Shade, even having some similar scenes at certain points.
Might’ve either been a homage/callback, or a coincidence.
Heck, Tirek being rebooted/brought back is kinda a nod to G1 to. They even still implimented Scorpan in his origin story to, which I liked.

Well, the “big bad guy betraying his partner in crime/lackey” is a pretty common trope in fiction.
I’ve seen some fanart redesigns for a few G1 villains, I liked the one for Arabus where he was given a bird mask-like face.
