its been almost a year since his appearance, and he still seems to be the most well liked villain. in my opinion, he had a world's worth of potential, he could have been a perfect long term villain

Gotta remember, MLP doesn't seem to have a 'long term' villain.
Not all of their problems are brought upon them by an antagonist; I think that's one reason lots of people like the cartoon.

Because when villains do appear, it makes it that much more interesting.

true, I'll give it that, it makes each one all the more memorable, but they are quickly out done or something by others, sometimes a villain isn't even necessary. great for a cartoon, but this is becoming a series, and a series i believe needs something solid for its movers and shakers

Consider this.

If Discord was a constant villain as opposed to occasional, the cartoon would move a little closer to one of the previous generations; a chaos born villain constantly trying to thwart harmony.

I think one of the reasons MLP:FIM rose so high above it's predecessors is because it doesn't rely on something like that. It's got many antagonists; though only a few of them are actively out to conquer Equestria or do away with harmony or whatever. If every weak Discord had another plot to do evil, well, it'd grow tired fast, I imagine.

hmm, you have a very good point there, didn't see that actually. maybe i just like him because Q lol. still though, could have lasted a little longer than two episodes in my opinion, wouldn't mind seeing him come back before De lance retires fully

Spoiler Alert:
Aparantly the episode on the 19th will have him in it.

even Fluttershy's world renowned yay cannot describe my happiness

Incidentally, the episode is called "Keep Calm and Flutter On"

The episode is supposed to be about redeaming him and making him a good guy, and only fluttershy belives he can be redeamed.

True, but my hope is that he won't be. A good moral, after all, is that sometimes things don't work out as planned.

All the Wins in this one. Kinda reminds me of Okami though

soooo... let me get this straight... he has climbed out of a pictures and used himself to paint the wall he was once inside?

he came out of the surface to grab a brush to draw himself so he could come out of the surface

i was going to say "yes that makes sense" then i remembered it's discord... so it actually DOES make sense lol

Well, hes "the Q" for you.^^

On Jan 19th yes he is

(the tooth is on the wrong side, just sayin)

I thought it looked more interesting this way

You're good at this art thing. REAL good.

Am I the only one who thinks Discord is the alto-ego of Sheogorath from the Elder Scrolls games? He probably dropped into Equestria on holiday, leaving poor Haskill in charge of the Shivering Isles.

At the very least, if the two aren't the same person then they are bros.

Marvelous, absolutely marvelous I say. I do love the expression upon his face, it really does indeed express the true depth of this picture. Impressive work, very very impressive.
