Despite that Discord is still one of the more popular characters. Hell id even argue that Rainbow Dash gets consistently bad episodes too

Discord is indeed my fav

He was my favorite back when he was Q. (Actually, my headcanon is that Discord _is_ Q. When he gets bored of antagonizing Starfleet he switches universes and messes with the ponies.)

Just need an Artanis and Nova ponies (as de Lancie also voiced Alarak from StarCraft II) to add to this mess.

And shouldn't the Data pony be the one commenting on Pinkie? XD

I mean, he is based on him kinda

From a Doylist perspective: the writer of MLP explicitly said that Discord was written as a send-up of Q, and the actor who played Q (John de Lancie) also voiced Discord.

Come to think of it, both sides would be incredibly strong allies.

Dash has some good ones but I think she consistently has the most questionable episodes even more so then other characters

really? havent given the whole show much a watch in years and i was such a fan of hers growingup maybe biase is clouding my memory lol, would you mind giving me examples? because the only episodes that really come to mind rn are the ones centered around her pet turtle, which tended to be some pretty good episodes imo, especially the one with her coping with "loss" when he has to hibernate in winter.

might be my neurodivergent-bias but I felt seen in the one where he tried to be "normal" and ended up starting to fade away

Well, Rainbow Dash is a bad person, so...

I said what I said, and I ain't taking it back.

u/Flair258 Pkm, Dw, tfp, anime, hk, mc, ETM, hh/hb, 6d ago

she's a decent person with flaws that sometimes lead to her doing bad things.

u/Excellent_Law6906 6d ago

It's the way she refuses to learn her Designated Lesson, when the lesson is, "don't treat your supposed friends like shit."

I’m also a Dash hater 😔

Applejack should be with Rarity

u/CoconutxKitten 3d ago

That’s because Rainbow Dash is consistent in her characterization: obnoxious
