The Elements of Harmony will defeat Discord, but Discord, being the Genre Savvy genius that he is, will have prepared for such a scenario in a way that leaves him free to roam about the world but with his Reality Warping powers reduced to Pinkie Pie levels, and occasional episodes of Season two will feature him causing mischief as he attempts to regain his full power again.

I think that's a reasonable guesstimation.
Anyone wanna start a betting pool on what's going to happen to D-Cord?

That's exactly what I don't want to see though. That's Badass Decay not to mention Villain Decay. I'd rather him never appear again than be subject to that.
I bet he's going to get sealed away again. He won't be killed so he'll have a chance to appear in future episodes, but he won't reappear in Season 2 (unless all of his powers are intact)

I kind of get what you're saying, but making him a recurring villain and having an arc where he regains his power could be interesting.

*5 I don't think that just because he's not as powerful means he'll automatically suffer from decay. If he manages to maintain his epic trolling abilities in spite of not having his Ultimate-Level Reality Warping abilities, it could do wonders for him long term in confirming just how much a threat he really is.

I'll have to see if there's anything to Discord outside of his impressive powers. Can he manipulate people? how good is he at planning? that kind of thing. Then maybe I'd be more ok with the idea
As my sig should tell you, I'm a massive fan of Magnificent Bastards

So, I've seen the clip of Discord.
This villain looks absolutely ridiculous. I just stared at him with a WTF?! Expression. Then I saw the clip and laughed. Really? This is the all powerful discord? I'll admit to saying I like his personality, and he has potenial, but He better have a hidden, more badass appearance underneath it all, and there has to be more to him than whats been discribed to me so far. As of now, he looks ridiculous, as in Black Plague Ridiculous.

^I really thought that 'Black Plague Ridiculous' was one trope, by the way.
As it is, I imagine he'll be much more menacing when he gets down to business.

I honestly don't see what's so wrong with his appearance. Don't you know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover? It's what you do that defines you (and I'm ready to peg Discord as a Badass already). Who wants all villains to be all dark and clad in black?
I will admit, I'd like to see a One-Winged Angel form for him.

I'm honestly kinda glad they didn't go with a stock "Dark and badass" kind of design. I mean, his look and personality fit the "discord" theme of the character.

*5 I have a feeling that's going to be a big part of his character, and that said trait would stick with him even if he lost his more obvious power set, allowing him to avoid Villain Decay in spite of not appearing to be as dangerous a threat.
Keep in mind that this is the same group of writers that gave us Season 1, so I think it's worth trusting them to be able to pull off making Discord a threat regardless of whether he has the ability to take away wings and horns.

Late to the Pinkie Pie Party, so I'll just say HOLY FRACKIN' HAY IT'S JOHN DE LANCIE!
Actor Allusion or not, I really hope Discord plays Q to the ponies. Q was the best thing to come out of TNG, and having him be a recurring tricker antagonist would be awesome.

That can't be true, they act totally different. Complete character derailment right there.
