Also the Sailor Ponies seems very apt after the elements revealed a new power. It's only a matter of time before evil ponysona vs. good ponysona mashups.
Im sad to see Discord go, but i guess for a children's cartoon, they had to hit the point home, although him sitting there and taking the rainbow like a boss was so stupid.
I have to wonder just powerful how discord is, from all indication, he was able to wrestle control of both Sun and Moon from Celestia and Luna, although it could be argued from the way the elements only cleansed Ponyville, that it was only a local illusion
Discord-world is something that I will point back at for all-time great uses of the medium of animation. The ballet buffalo, the pony sneezing and knocking down Ponyville, but most of all, Discord's glass of chocolate milk. That glass was amazing on every level. The whole town looked like the Sonic 2 version of the minus world.
"Um, I'm just wondering if it's okay if I just hold you down against your will for a little bit."
Fluttershy typically isn't my favorite, but I think she was my favorite for these two episodes. Although Rainbow Dash zooming around while hugging that cloud was unreasonably adorable.
Why is that? It's quite possibly one of the best and more than likely intentional voice acting to characters I've seen.
Exactly!
Hasbro giving them a very loose rein and generally a policy of "why the hell not?" was what brought it all together. Case in point: Discord. Discord was a character straight off Lauren's pen, because apparently she'd been bingeing on Trek:TNG lately at the time that script got written. She decided to play him just like Q, because why the hell not? She'd originally planned to have Discord voiced by a De Lancie soundalike; but then during one of the meetings, someone (Jayson said it might well have been him) just said, "Why don't we just try to get the real guy?" Sure it cost money, but Hasbro said why the hell not? And John was free, and he was game, so there's our Discord. Why the hell not?
