Reaper Scythe

The absolute jealousy my dude feels xD

The ep that changed everything... kind of. Discord became a HUGE hit very quickly, but the writers didn't want to do the whole, villain comes back just to get defeated over and over, and really didn't see a way to bring him back without going down that villain decay trap.... so they decided to just not have him be a villain anymore. Which, kind of works. Yeah Discord was kind of an ass, but he's not really outright evil, he's chaotic, and simply so powerful that he's essentially a big kid who's never had to grow up and learn to consider how his actions might have consequences. So, having him realize that he might actually be able to have more fun with someone else there to share the chaos with, but accepting it means he has to limit himself slightly... yeah it works as a concept, and I really like how they handle it going forward. Oh and I notice you are doing airing order, not production order, smart move on this one, the airing order really does make more sense. Also, random trivia, one of the initial pitches for this eps title was "Fluttershy's Home for Reformed Draconequis" as a fun little nod to one of the other series Lauren Faust worked on. But the title was deemed too spoilery. As to why, in 'verse, try to reform him? It makes perfect sense. Originally, Celestia didn't think her seal on him wold ever fade, but then come S2 premier, she learned that the seal fades when the Elements lose their connection to their wielder, which means that Equestria is just one really bad RD crash away from having Discord unleashed again, without a full set of Bearers to reseal him. So better to try and make him just, not be an asshole then play the game of chance. Everyone loved him trolling Angel... again I feel holding PYHD against him is too much given everypony had their jerkass dial cranked to 11 for that ep.... but he is still a little shit. The idea of Twilight having a "Reforming Spell" has led to a lot of debate and questions over how it works, becuase that has some dark implications... And finally, this ep gave us one of the greatest, most career defining roles for Tabitha St Germain (Rarity and Luna's VA amid many, many others) that of....... Gravy Boat!
