I can honestly say I hope Friendship Is Magic's crew fired writer Neal Dusedau by now. Everyone has to have at least one small problem with their favorite character. And aside from how unwatchable his betrayal to all of his friends in my favorite episode of all time was, this sadly has to be the other grudge I had with Discord. As every other hater would state it, basically everything minus most of Twilight's portrayal was awful about it. The untold humor, the boring pacing, the sadistically mean-spirited moral, and even Discord himself (he's my overall favorite character of the series). And you wanna know what the worst part about it is? I used to like it just and ONLY because Discord got so much respect from all of Twilight's friends! Now don't get me wrong. That all could have worked, but unfortunately Dusedau wrecked all those opportunities by turning Discord into an unlikable and heartless jerk (alongside all of Twilight's friends), not even bothering to teleport Twilight and us viewers back in time to see just how their three-day weekend went. Even if I was ignoring all of its other flaws, the moral is especially terrible since jealousy (despite that sometimes it can be done right) is one of my most hated feelings! And we all know that Discord's inside jokes would have made sense and made me laugh if he told them a lot more clearly. Not even Twilight's inside joke (that was told clearly) could make me laugh even despite that I changed my views on Discord and Twilight in this disaster nowadays. I will admit the references to Back to the Future and Bob Ross are fascinating (as well as Discord's strange imitation of Applejack), but every other flaw sadly can't be made up for. To best describe this, it's not only an atrocious Twilight torture porn rehash of Three's A Crowd, but also one of those episodes that no longer holds up for me now that I've rejudged my opinion on most episodes. Whereas over the past several times, I've gotten more and more intelligent with my opinion.
All I can say though is thank god for Dungeons & Discords. Cause without it, Discord's reputation and potential for remaining a good character could've very well have been gone and lost throughout Season 6 after just how disastrous this Season 5 installment proved to be.
