I checked Google Images for your Jewelpet thingie and now I’m even more depressed about Equestria Girls existence. Maybe I’m biased because I like anime and stuff but those animals turning into animes girls look more pleasing to the eyes than the chromatic aberrations that are the EQG characters. And I hope I won’t start shit with that comment that is going to dabble just a little with politics but a country like the USA can never pull a move like Jewelpets Change because of their (I call it that for a lack of a better term and I hate that term) political correctness policy as far as ethnies are concerned. Your Jewelpets can afford to turn into kawaii moee desu anime chicks, Equestria Girls had to conjure up Doug people as to not being called racist over turning Fluttershy Chinese because she had yellow fur or some shit

You know, I could say the same thing about how they handled Discord. Guess this makes both of us not satisfied.
 
@CORDZ2000  
Well guess what, I’ve always preferred to see Chrysalis get a better ending and not Discord back in the day.
 
If the writers wanted me to have a better opinion on Discord, then they shouldn’t have made the ponies so stand offish of him all the time.
 
Yeah it is clear that none of my views are strong enough to take on how well polished everyone else’s here are. Just know that the choices they made with Discord are one of the reasons why one of my friends thinks FiM declined in the later seasons. He claims the fans are usually right except for those with “retarded opinions” like Discord being the best character or certain villains are irredeemable.

Well none of it means shit to me since he was the one who recommended the idea of the villain trio getting stoned when he had no right to suggest it.
He turned the trio to stone because the princesses were looking for a fitting punishment for them and chrysalis had made it known they wouldn’t change not to mention the many murder attempts on him and his friends throughout the day. Whether u agree with him turning them to stone or not, or disagree that they should have been turned in the first place these are fairly reasonable reasons and discord being the reasoning all this went down doesn’t make the trio any less unrepentantly evil even before s9 as they were already villains even before this grogar situation.

Because the writers chose to make it that it feels like Starlight has learned her lesson from the episode compared to Discord’s reactions.
 
But u forget red, while starlight proved to be trustworthy nobody knew that at her intentional reformation which is when nobody was suspicious of her but everyone was suspicious of him before he even proved to be untrustworthy. U also have to look at these characters differently in judge them off of their characters for one tbh starlight should have never became a villain in the first place from one friend leaving it doesn’t make sense, she is a normal pony, also changing faster doesn’t make her a inherently better character.
 
Discord is a literal spirit of chaos and disharmony he did what made sense to him cause chaos until Fluttershy came along and made him see he wanted companionship. What’s also forgotten is that discord DID complete his reformation process which was by s7 and what happened he got punished for it with almost dying. It makes sense for a manifestation of chaos who for one was under suspicion, isn’t personally teached but only learn when he messed up to have a long difficult and different growth they are inherently different characters and should be treated as such.

I understand the logic, but I don’t think it works that way when Starlights makes mistakes in a way that makes her redemption meaningless.
 
I’d rather the writers don’t try to trick me. Either make her redemption meaningful or make Starlight a villain.
 
Or there would be a secondary solution: Don’t put Starlight in the show, just give her a spin-off of small episodes with Trixie, kinda like the EG shorts. That way the MLP fans and the Starlight fans will enjoy different things without affecting the context of Friendship is Magic.

Then please give Jewelpet Magical Change a try. Sure, it was initially received badly enough to render the Jewelpet franchise stagnant, but history vindicated Magical Change during the Jewelpet fanbase’s fight to undo JP’s cancellation. Unlike Equestrians, Jewelpets both remain at full strength in all worlds and become even more powerful in human form.

We could all see the “they don’t need the elements any more” plot element miles away before the show stated it. It was very clear to a lot of us. But it didn’t need to come at the cost of the Tree of Harmony’s life. Also, I don’t care if it was done in his “chaotic way”. A shitty plan is still a shitty plan. And if ALL OF YOU want to bitch to me about plans related to characters I love weren’t well thought out to begin with, then I can say the same with Discord’s.  
Also, a lot of people aren’t aware of the additional elements from the Season 10 comics because they choose to ignore the comics’ existence or feel that the main comic writer isn’t taking holding down a big fantasy world seriously.
 
Well none of it means shit to me since he was the one who recommended the idea of the villain trio getting stoned when he had no right to suggest it.

Don’t blame me, this is the consequences of the writers not completely paying attention and/or not passing on their knowledge to later staff members once they left. Why is it so easy for geeks like us to remember this shit and yet highly paid writers don’t give a fuck?

About Discord, I think he was fine because the mane 6, as well as the entire Ponyville, were questioning him and being suspicious because of his previous actions. That made sense. They did the exact same thing with Sunset Shimmer in Rainbow Rocks, Babs Seed in One bad apple, princess Luna in Luna Eclipsed and Diamond Tiara in Crusaders of the lost mark. If the MLP team made a sequel to the 2017 MLP film, they would do the same thing to Tempest Shadow, which would make sense for her character.
 
My problem is that they didn’t do the same thing with Starlight, even though she ended up doing worse things from season 6 to 9. Nobody in the mane 6, not even Spike, not even Ponyville, had questioned her. Everyone is absolutely supersticious about her. Why is ok to question Discord but not Starlight? Why is ok to be suspicious about him but not Starlight? It doesn’t make sense.

U are aware that sombra destroying the tree wasn’t apart of there deal that sombra would do that. That the tree of harmony became a tree house for future generations making sombra’s actions null avoid. That discord showed them that they didn’t need the elements to succeed with his speech in season 9 premiere or that there are more elements in s10 or that that happened from him having the good intentions of helping twilight be prepared to be ruler of EQ in his own chaotic way. Because she was being rushed into the throne, discord would never care so much to do something to help someone else at the beginning of the series.
 
His mess up was a misguided effort i didn’t say he made all the right choices if u note how i stated in that post. He messes up from his established flaws but what happened in s9 was a misguided effort to help his friends, not the same as saying he hasn’t learned anything at all. I will also go through every single way he has constantly learned and growed, which in itself is not a opinion but objective fact. As to which, im willing to go through it, if u are willing to listen and i mean truly listen.

“Constantly grows and learns” Good one, man. Good one.  
You are aware that he is responsible for the original Tree of Harmony’s death right? That is blood on his hands.

Discords arc besides matter of principles is him constantly growing as a person coming back a bit nicer than the last. he doesn’t change fast because no one changes fast realistic and hes a spirit of chaos that disappears if he completely changes but he still does constantly grows and learns. no character makes him out to be a paragon who can do no wrong, he suffers karma multiple times in the series he messes up from his established flaws and being a work in progress not from carrying the idiot ball hes character arc makes sense with his character besides that one episode i mentioned.

And Hasbro learned lessons big time after all those war with the fandom back in EQG 2013 gate.  
Good thing I wasn’t there when the war happens.  
It showed how Hasbro can fall into a victim of thoughts around American’s capitalism. Although they redeemed after the drama, but still carries over some remained drama-inducing qualities (see Cozy Glow for example, but not as bad as EQG).

Ah yes, I agree with you, EQG at its debut was the lowest point of this fandom, from Flash to Spike the Dog (insulting both Twilight and Spike badly, and the mane five and the franchise as a whole).
 
Redeeming Qualities (only 2 I think it exists so far):  
  • Some character designs can be cute to look, but that’s a very few, like Fluttershy.  
  • Sunset’s character development, but only in later ones. She spawned numerous memes, not as much as Starlight.
     
    But still, Season 9 drama (2019) wasn’t as bad as EQG’s debut (2013). Cozy Glow, Starlight, they are not as drama inducing compared to the infamous Flash or Spike the Dog.

Above everything:Equestria Girls for which I’ll never run out of venom to spit at. Equestria Girls in its entirety is the all-time low point of the show and I suspect it’s only sticked around because of foot fetishists and pervert and because Hasbro wanted a Monster High of their own. Equestria Girls, above Cadance and Twilicorn whom at the end of the day were minors bump, is a burden that held the show down and prevented it from reaching more mainstream acceptance Equestrian Girls for which reportedly Faust had very vocal disdain for. Equestria Girls is what the layman expect when he hear the words “toy show for girls” when we all know it can do better than that. Equestrian Girls is lazy and confortable in its garish ordinary vulgarity of a vision of feminine adolescence preoccupied with malls and cellphone and prom balls (okay, that last line is a bit salty now that I re-read my text, there’s absolutely a place for medium like High School Musical, but you don’t arbitrarily shove it in a setting like FIM) For the life of me, I can’t find any redeeming quality in any of this, in the first movie alone, it shat on everything Lauren Faust helped to do to clean the name of the franchise, you know, the one where the previously astute Twilight got wobbly knees over the first sight of a leather-clad variation of an obvious Ken expy from Barbie that wasn’t even from her species THEN still made goo goo eyes to the clueless pony counterpart that is clearly established as a totally different person who had no clue about what happened in Monster High Land. That’s just one example on the top of my head but really the mere existence of Equestria Girls is both an ugly Canon breaking malignous growth on FIM otherwise more than honorable record and a constant reminder of the callousness of Hasbro as a media creator. I don’t ask and will never ask for MLP or Transformers to be as crafted and elaborate as, I don’t know, The Handmaid Tales but, asshole, the bare minimum is to not go on a 7 shitty made for TV specials tangent where the fairy tale setting is arbitrarily pushed aside for High School Musical. You know even McCarthy didn’t believed in the basic premise of the spin off where she tried to compare it to Alice Through The Looking Glass because as you know Alice left her dreary contemporary world for a wacky fairy tale land, not the other way around

Well, he.. is an embodiment of chaos, but back then I also never thought the show writers would put his chaos effect into the real life fandom as well.

Discord is also not a pony and we know how the fandom loves ponies, that being said discord has plenty merchandise himself and id honestly argue besides s6-7 the writers give both him and star equal importance in s8-9 which sadly are discords most controversial seasons. And therefore starlight ended up greatly overgrowing him in popularity, that being said tho discord is still popular if ofc also pretty controversial and a lot of people love him who are outside the hardcore mlp fanbase i feel.
