Discord is also as established not reformed, a living societal collapse and basically kept around because people like/can use his powers outside of like two people.

Tirek at full power’s almost at the same level but thats also partially because that means he’s absorbed Discords power per his finale episodes.

Chrysalis is by herself almost a non threat, and provided people are actually informed about Cozy as a general “this person is a potential threat” like they did with others, she’s basically a very well spoken child.

Discord was alone a threat that needed to be stopped and his power effectively removed from the world to ensure peoples safety(and honestly still is to a large degree).

These three could be beaten by basic security and a competent parole officer.

Discord was stoned again before he get rehabilitation, putting the trio in tartarus don’t mean they will not get their rehabilitation.

@Background Pony #990E
Or maybe they can be given the kind of rehabilitation that Starlight and Discord got or something that doesn’t involve a horrific kind of prison.

@Background Pony #990E
With Tirek and Cozy makes sense re-sending them to Tartarus with possible redemption but with Chrysalis… She should be in a changeling prision or she should be in Tartarus? For one side, she was a political fugitive even before Ending of the end but she hurted the changeling kingdom too…

@Penguin Dragneel
Or sent/re-imprisoned back to Tartarus for trying to take over Equestria and the rest of the world, trying to overthrow each ruler of Equestria, trying to destroy the Magic of Friendship, and trying to steal all Magic and love of Equestria and the rest of the world.

@Background Pony #990E
A much more humane punishment.

Agreed.

Ooo, maybe this time they’ll get sent to the moon.

I love most of Doug’s reviews, and in that one, he has a point: you can’t “epic-ify” a story that wasn’t meant to be epic in the first place.

MLP writers struggle to make complex stories, but it was never meant for more complex stories. It was always meant as a slice-of-life show that makes jokes and teaches life lessons. The “event” episodes that open and close the seasons are the exception, not the rule.

That’s why neither of the three Legion members got much in the way of backstory.

I strongly disagree. I like most of IDW’s comics. They are great at both making licensed comics, and picking up titles from other publishers.

@Jacalope
The past IdW are at best soft cannon.

The Season 10 are hard cannon due to being unchallenged and an intentional standalone season so to speak.

@Sanagi 蛹
Only good comic they have is Sonic (and that mostly due to Sega learning form their past mistakes)

@Red-Supernova
MLP worldbuilding makes me questioning many things about Chrysalis in a bad way because it really seems that the writers never had the intention of making Chrysalis gray, since there are more effective methods, whether moral or not, of solving their problem.

But she never does. Even in IDW they remarked her as a cold-blooded cat killer who was simply born that way and strangely, that fits with every official writer’s interpretation about her, meanwhile Discord is someone much more human with his mistakes and virtues. (You will say that IDW comics are not canon, but mother of God, we are talking in an IDW post).

I mean its easy since IDW part is barely existent.

So far three points for Deusexequus, zero for IDW.

@Jacalope
I understand where you’re coming from but its more sympathetic than Discord’s who……currently doesn’t have one.

That would be an interesting turn of events they did the same thing they did in ending of the end but slow and subtlety

“Their back”

@GenericArchangel
Sorry.

Excuse me, y’all, but these conversations really are better suited to our forums, please.

Wait IDW has attempt?
