I had a feeling Chrysalis would be the one to find a way out of that.

Don’t say we didn’t tell you so two years ago, guys.
This solidifies the fact that this fate for them was an unbelievably stupid and irresponsible idea.
Are you proud of yourselves?

I’d say thats a bit too far in the opposite direction even.
MlP FiM is in it’s own weird place of not to violent but crossing a line that verges on being more teen oriented on occasion.

Bringing up Joker is apples and oranges: MLP is a show for very young kids. Swiper the Fox is more up MLP’s league, not the Joker.
And I guarantee you, not a single kid watches that show and thinks “Boy, I sure do hope Dora kills Swiper”. The villains get reformed because MLP is the kind of show that reforms villains. Nothing more to it.

Not killing them but potentially leaving massive amounts of trauma and psychosis in his wake.
If he caused someone to commit suicide from the damage caused he is still partially responsible.
Thats my point on it more then anything else.

Exactly, Grogar as the final villain who make the mane6 and the villains works together is actually a more interesting thing

No leaving grogar as grogar would be the most ideal thing. I remember when a lot of fans here were speculating that maybe the trio would turn on grogar. And there wasn’t a civil war going on for that fans took a liking to that.

Even tho i thought the twist made sense for discords character as a spirit of chaos using chaos to help his friends and that he did enough to be forgiven for it and i can see were they were going with trying to deconstruct discords whole trickster mentor thing with twilight and they did foreshadow it but your probably right.
It just isn’t the best idea to have a character do their biggest mess up at the end of the series after having multiple episodes of subtle well written character development. They should have portrayed the trio as irredeemably evil and not having a possibly for redemption all the way through if they were going with that route.
I can understand it now, i still don’t think discord deserves to be hated on for it or made out to be worse than he is but i get it. I prefer chrysalis and tirek staying evil because they makes such great villains and tried to kill characters i love but it is a possibility it could be written well im no longer completely against it there redemption/reformation. I think it could be very interesting but the diamonds no one can convince me there reformation wasn’t terrible, considering there all space Hitler x20.

Discord in first place never kills, no MLP character except Chrysalis in the IDW comics killed someone.
And S2 Discord looks like someone who would reject the kill option because that’s not fun. Only property damage like every villain.
So, the only similar thing about them is abour giving many opportunities, not about Discord being as destructible as Jokerm

We don’t know how many Discord killed or injured to the point of insanity.
He’s been active far longer (baring the cosmic power Joker but I have no idea how DC wants that to be treated with how it was resolved) and had far more incentive to keep his victims alive long enough to break them.
Plus with Discord being incredibly unconcerned with others lives and well being on top of Celestia’s penchant for squirreling away history and information when it suits her we just don’t know.
Discord isn’t as outright lethal as the Joker but that’s not always a good thing.
It’s cold and cruel but death at least ends the suffering, if nothing else.
Now I do want to be clear, Discord is not the joker and given the mediums they are different enough this is just speculation, but it’s something odd that no comic or media has done anything to explore discord but they tried very hard to provide something for Tirek and Chrysalis, even if Chrysalis’ comic is actively impossible to trust as fact with context.

That would be works but that ending makes the series even more infamous than Steven Universe where they forgot the diamonds even when their acts are awful.
So, the best option was not making the grogar twist in first place.
@GrimChariot
Yeah but from those little moments, he reallt killed many persons, even more than Stalin, Hitler and Mao together. Even Jason Todd in Under the red hood didn’t ask about killing the penguin and scarecrow, just only of Joker.
Killing the joker or sending him to the phantom zone is a more reasonable option than send him to the Arkham Asylum

The Batman is actually the worse argument for the redemption thing, all of that just because of the Joker, he made so much damage to million of persons at the point the fans thinks Batman should kill Joker, even in the same comics Harley Quinn tells Batman he should kill Joker.
The Joker is the representation about not putting limits to the redemption and i know that applies with Discord but that’s the thing, if Discord can’t be redeemed at all by mane6, why would the equestrians want to redeem Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy which made a racial war, and Chrysalis done worse things previously without be jailed?
The problem isn’t about if they forgot the trio or not, the trouble is the nepotism which was the result of the Grogar’s twist and status quo, if Grogar was the final villain and redeem the trio with their actions everything will be fine, if they stoned Discord with the trio everything will be finein moral but people will discuss about how awful was the script.
It is not necessary for discord to be punished with them. If he was actual remorful for what he did. He could have done the following : “You knows guys I am partially responsible (benefit of doupt) for what happened and it wouldnt be fair for you to get punished for. so if its possible let’s make make amends I want to offer you friendship like it was offered to me before again and again.” Even though that still isn’t enough and eitherway the trio should have a lesser punishment for that reason it would show that discord actually realized that what he did wasn’t a mistake but outright wrong to everyone yes everyone. At least offer the olive branch.

Actually, I would argue that it should have come, at least in Cozy’s case, even before sending her to Tartarus. Discord is incredibly powerful on his own while Tirek needs to steal magic to get to that point and Chrysalis is probably weak enough to restrain with enough force. Stoning Discord is the only way he could have been stopped at the time while the trio could very well have been kept in much more comfortable prisons then literal animal cages and petrification. Cozy in particular is just a filly with no notable special powers. A house arrest could have held her.
It is also worth noting that stoning him did absolutely nothing to change Discord other then let him know that there is a weapon that could stop him while the trio at the end were left depowered and surrounded (ironically by the same kind of friendship attack that directly stoned Discord). Such drastic measures did not need to be taken.
And if we still want to go with that logic, why not reform Tirek? He’s been in Tartarus for thousands of years, received no attempt to reform him and even has a type of prison that allows for direct communication. He would be easier then Discord to try to reform and you can argue that he served his sentence for too long anyway.
