Him breaking down the mane cast was more for his own personal pleasure than anything else. As seen with fluttershy, he could beat them all with a poke if her REALLY wanted too

He softened them up then used his hypnosis bit.

Can the mane cast beat him even with the elements at this rate?

Oh, that's why Pinkie Pie mentioned chocolate rain. I thought she was just being random.

By the way, I find Rainbow Dash's retaliation to Discord insulting the princess fairly interesting.

EDIT: Also, I think it's pretty awesome that each pony was confronted by their cutie marks.

Twilight: Don't worry guys, we can do this TOGETHER!

Discord: lolnope. *Hedges*

You do not, I repeat, you do not cast Dash and Celestia in an Onee-sama relationship.

An action is not virtuous merely because it is unpleasant to do.

I loved how pissed Celestia was. I also liked the bitter exchanges between her and Discord. It really shows that they had a past together

Which is another reason why Discord didn't even try to break Twilight I suppose.

Remember that Celestia said she is no longer connected to the Elements, she might be in fact weaker than when she and Luna sealed Discord in the first place.

Or maybe she went to get Luna while the Mane Six went after Discord.

Either way, time to add tropes! And an episode summery!

Well how would he break Twilight anyway? Her element is a lot more vague than the others.

#19088 Kayube Sat, 17th Sep '11 6:50:44 AM

I assumed that Discord figured that since Twilight Sparkle's element was magic, taking away her element would just take away her magic, which he already did by removing the horn. Of course, now he's gone and given it BACK... which will probably end up being the key to victory.

#19089 Great God Pan Sat, 17th Sep '11 6:50:55 AM from The Woods. Where else? from The Woods. Where else?

And Celestia just decides to wait in her castle.

OH FOR YOUR OWN SAKE, TIA!

Spooky.

-Ignores all the rampant season 2 spoilers-

Is there any word of the Hub putting the season 2 episodes on their site any time soon? I don't have cable anymore so I can't watch it outside the internet. And I don't want to resort to certain "methods" just yet.

@Jesus Saves Hey, I just find it interesting cos' RD never seemed liked the kind of pony to demonstrate loyalty in terms of retaliating against insults. I mean, look at season 1, she usually indicates her assent to said insults. And I've never seen that trope before.

Discord is a huge troll.

I'm pretty sure that the elements were lost to them when Luna went crazy. Think about it, if arguing is what removes the power of the elements a fight to the scale of Celestia and Luna's would have definitely led them to lose them.

In the stained glass scene, he seemed to be fascinated by twilight's element. Maybe he is unsure of how to break it?

I now imagine Discord and Celestia trolling each other as a final battle.

And what a battle it would be.

Dash does seem to be pretty loyal to Celestia. She got pretty upset about Discord's insults, and back in season 1 she got the most upset at Nightmare Moon for making her disappear.

Discord finds Celestia boring though

@Michael Okay, that would just be awesome.

@Crowfall Yeah, I forgot about her reaction back in the first episode.

Becuase he doesn't know what character trait "Magic" is supposed to be so he can't even hypnotise her into acting contrary to it.
