...this is what I get for watching other cartoons all day. I come back, 5 pages more on the forum, and I am in no way prepared for what I read. Seriously, Rapist Twilight?

If I may go completely my own direction for a minute, there is one thing that sticks in my craw about Discord that I haven't thought I'd mentioned yet. I've already said "he's a bad character and I feel gypped having to wait for his turkey two-parter to end, " but there's
One moooooooore thing
I hate what he does to the series background mythology. Seriously, for six months I was all set thinking that Equestria was, if not always ruled by Celestia and Luna (who
freaking created the day and night) then at least they came very early on in the cosmic hierarchy and have been there ever sense, are pretty much the most powerful beings in the universe and that if there's any cosmic dark or chaotic forces, they're represented by Nightmare Moon and wherever
she came from.
Discord shows up and right off the bat, we're told he was there first and he's actually more powerful than Luna and Celestia combined. Some fans are even speculating that he might've caused Luna to turn into Nightmare Moon, which is just...
... No, just no.
I'm not accepting in any way, shape or form that Nightmare Moon is a lesser creature than Discord, or that he had anything to do with her coming into being. I would
easily accept it if it was the other way around (IE if
she created
him). I would also accept it if it turned out Discord fracked with Celestia's memories and made her
think he was some powerful ancient being when really all he is, is a freaky-looking illusionist with slightly-above-Pinkie Pie reality-altering powers. I'm
not accepting that he's a higher tier being. Not in any way, shape or form.
Also, TwinkiePie with mild Twi-dominance overtones seriously needs to become canon.
