Pomegranate Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) I love most of what The Living Tombstone makes, especially his popular remix of Discord and Stuck in Time, along with that one Hebrew rock song dedicated to Spitfire. He's one of my favorite brony 'celebrities', and I had the great opportunity to meet him and take a picture with him at BronyCon ^_^Picture Perfect Pony is one I enjoy as well, partly because of the fabulous animation that went with it.I discovered a really amazing song, One Last Letter (Aviators VIP Remix), that I really reccomend giving a listen; it's very powerful, and has a nice beat as well.I'm a fan of Ponyphonic and Wooden Toaster and AcousticBrony as well, though unfortunately I mostly know these popular artists and not very much else-- I need to go crawling through removed music archives again!

Pomegranate Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Friendship is Witchcraft is the best parody I've seen; I especially love the songs in it (got most of 'em on my iPod!

Keizah the Kaleidoscope Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Hm...I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting a full heel-face turn from Discord. However, it does make some sense: Discord's tendency to turn things into "games" could indicate that he just wants ponies to play with him. He probably had never met anyone who could tolerate his behavior before, and therefore had no genuine friends. I wonder what kind of job Celestia's going to put him in...I could see him being a type of ambassador/negotiator, given his clever and manipulative nature. Either that or she's gearing up for some kind of magical conflict in which hypnotism, object animation, magical infiltration, and general reality warping will come in handy... Actually, with the mention of a "royal summit" the latter theory seems more likely. Shoot, I guess we can expect an overabundance of "tyrant Celestia" fics now. I suppose this episode also shows a great deal of growth on Fluttershy's part. While she was still a little intimidated at the beginning, she managed to keep her composure until the crucial moment when Discord's trust was put to the test. The scene where she called out the other girls for assuming she was a "silly gullable fool" was particularly good, seems like something left over from her assertiveness training.

Protodite Karzahni Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Well that was interesting. I wouldn't call it a highlight of season 3 but it was definitely very enjoyable. The only thing I'm a little disappointed in is I'd rather have seen Discord as an all out antagonist at least once more. This scenario seems more like the kind of thing they would have played out during his third or fourth appearance. That said, I'm glad they did hint to him returning to his villainous ways by just slyly muttering "most of the time". Which also leads me to be optimistic that if ever there's any scenes in the Canterlot castle, we have a chance of seeing Discord flitting about the place, being the comedic clown that he is. I imagine he'll essentially be like some kind of rowdy pet for Celestia. Quote I wrote stories once. They were okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fauxname Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Today's episode was pretty good, I'm just glad Discord returned, and his character didn't get messed up like I feared. Quote I'm a dinosaur! Rawr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorahk1Panrahk2 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) How was the character not messed up? Discord was a great character not because of his crazy antics, but because how he manipulated the main six characters to turn against each other. He was also a legitimately creepy villain, and I can't see why on Earth he would take friendship over the ability to cause chaos. Seriously, this episode felt like really bad fan fiction.

CaT in Rogue Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Discord's basic idea was not centered around being creepy, being more of a sarcastic, manipulative wisecracker. Just because he learns the value of friendship doesn't mean the character is ruined. Also, I think the 'most of the time' comment made it pretty clear he doesn't plan on totally giving up chaos anytime soon. You also have to pay more attention to the actual psyche of the character and what makes sense in the given situation, rather than just focusing on what you want from the character.

Vorahk1Panrahk2 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) I concede you have a point about Discord not centered around being creepy- that was a result of him being manipulative. And while I get that he's a wisecracking manipulator at heart, it's pretty hard for him to relish in those things while being restrained. As for what makes sense in the given situation... nothing about the situations in the episode makes sense. Celestia suddenly wanting Discord on her side makes no sense. Leaving him alone with the main six make no sense. Discord suddenly wanting friendship makes no sense, especially when his character has previously destroyed friendships for fun. I'm not against him reforming if given a good reason, but what was given in the episode just wasn't convincing enough for me. I'll forgive the writers if this develops into something greater, or if Discord is treated as more of an ambiguous character than straight good, but as it stands it just feels half baked. But, you know, kids' show. And, admittedly, implying that his character got messed up was a little bit of unnecessary hyperbole on my par. For pretty much the entire episode he was the same old Discord. It's just the last two minutes I take issue with.

Bfahome Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I think it worked decently. Sure, he'd messed up friendships before, but they were other people's friendships, not his own. I think they did a good job of zig-zagging between whether or not he'd give in, and I think it comes down to the fact that even he didn't realize how he felt about it until the end. It seems kind of like it was his first chance to have friends, and he was willing to try it out rather than throw it away immediately. I mean, he's been locked in stone twice, and then suddenly someone's willing to be on his side. Seems like between that and ice-skating, friendship is the more appealing option. And it's not like he's pledged not to be a trickster anymore, he's just not going to be overly malicious with it. Also now I realize that the possibility of a Mane6/Discord team-up is even closer now. Hopefully that's what this was leading up to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was doing some reading on a particular trope site and in the Fridge Brilliance (which essentially means that something is actually brilliant on reflection rather then when that thing first appears, or something along those lines if I put it intelligibly, anyway) section, and someone made a very interesting point. It is very possible and likely that Discord thought that Fluttershy was only being as nice as she was to him because Celestia had ordered her to be that way, rather then actually wanting to befriend him. At least, I believe in this interpretation. Oh and your RPG seems interesting Silverstar, if it launches I might get involved.

Master Inika Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 "Keep Calm and Flutter On" was awesome. I wasn't sold in Discord being good until the very end, and even then, he had that sarcastic tone to his voice. I don't think he'll ever become fully good. Also, this is the first time one of the four intro/final antagonists (Nightmare Moon, Discord, Chrysalis, and Sombra) have appeared in a regular episode (unless you count Princess Luna, which I don't, since she's not evil and also looks totally different).

Protodite Karzahni Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Gah, that was such a great episode. It was one of those where about two thirds of the way through I realised it was approaching the climax and was saddened it wasn't far off from ending. Some of Spike's expressions were fantastically hilarious and I liked the variety of cameos on show: barking pony, Zecora, Granny Smith, even Cheerilee and Big Mac walking side by side (Do I hear lamenting fanfic writers?). I'm really disappointed this season's only half as long as normal because the quality of some of these episodes has been top notch. Why did Scootaloo say that she had "always wanted to visit the Chrystal Empire"? How could she, since it had not even existed until just recently? Don't forget she is still a kid, so probably just loves exaggerating. "I've always wanted to visit the Crystal Empire" translates to "I've always wanted to visit the Crystal Empire since Rainbow Dash told me about it" in filly language.
