It would have been better if he was superimposed onto some Tzeentch followers, but this gets the message across. Chaos, heresy and mutation! |

Discord really seems like Slaanesh kind of guy, or maybe Tzeentch. |

I dont think anyone would think of discord as 'evil'(at least by our standards) hes chaotic neutral at worst.
look at what discords done... Made cotton candy clouds that rain friggin CHOCOLATE milk, and given bunnies an undeniable advantage evolution would take hundreds of years to match.... Meanwhile the 'good' celestia locked him into a stone statue for a thousand years... And then theres the fact that being trapped is probably extra horrifying for a character like him, and he was concious of it THE WHOLE TIME... |

@zanzibar how do you know he was conscious? |
| nonchalanto #473890 10 months ago |
What about Discord's less than stellar treatment of the ponies before Luna and Celestia overthrew him? |
| zanzibar #473894 10 months ago |
Oh, and although he does trick the mane six and maybe hypnotises them, he returns them back to normal once theyre no longer a threat to his plans....
Which is alot more benevolent than alot of what can be expected from many HEROES, let alone anyone in the role of the villain.... |
| gasmaskangel #473896 10 months ago |
And the mind raping. |

What episode were you watching Zanzibar? They're still grayed out at the end of the episode, he didn't do a thing to bring them back to normal |
| Cog #473906 10 months ago |
Chaos in the Warhammer universe is no more evil in and of its self than say the Emperium of man. its just a way of looking at things differently. in-human, yes. but certainly not evil. oh and Zanzibar? he gives them their horns and wings back. he still leaves them brainwashed, broken and far from normal. because to him, it's more fun that way. |

"Before my sister and I stood up to him, he ruled Equestria in an eternal state of unrest and unhappiness."
Just because he's affable and voiced by Q doesn't stop him from being a bad guy. |

^
^ Talking to Celestia he mentions how 'boring' it was, which seems to suggest he was. As for his 'treatment' of the ponies, that depends if hes actively causing all the weird crap going on, or if its an effect of his existence.... Which would make his imprisonment and the story arc were going throu now pretty tragic dont you agree? |

@Zanzibar
There's absolutely nothing to suggest all the weird stuff happening is subconscious, he's all about messing with people and makes ponies lives miserable because of it, that's why Celestia and Luna overthrew him Honestly, I shouldn't be surprised by all the whitewashing the villains get in the show by now, but this guy is a legitimate and competent villain, not some wrongfully punished prankster |

@Cog: Chaos tends to revel in things like flaying and rape. How the blueberry fuck is that not evil?! |
| Trombe #481379 10 months ago |
The Imperium of Man seems like a pretty dreadful place... but compared to most other factions, barring the Eldar and Tau, the Imperium is pretty good and nice, if not white and fluffy (and adorned in winged skulls; I love winged skulls). Eldar are a bunch of scheming jerks balancing on the brink of extinction (if you were on the brink of extinction, you'd probably not shy away from manipulating others into doing the dirty work for you), and Tau are a self-righteous and somewhat naive lot that still does not know how things in this (that) galaxy are done. Orks are a rowdy bunch that craves for a good fight more than anything else, so co-existing with them would be hard, Chaos engages in pillage, rape and murder just for the sake of it, which makes them the absolute evil of the setting, and since the Gods of the Warp were spawned from humans' own feelings and thoughts, they can be judged by human standards, Tyranids are just following their nature, and they cannot be judged within the margins of human morals (which in no way justifies their actions, only explains them), and the Necron see all life as unnatural or something (not sure about their motivation, really), and being pretty damn alien, they don't fit into human set of morals either, so they are to be treated as Tyranids. So, all in all, totalitarian and fundamentalist Imperium of Man is one of the better places to live in within the Warhammer 40K universe.
tl;dr The Chaos is utterly and completely evil, and making up excuses for their actions in attempt to make them seem less evil is as foolish as it is pointless. But that does not mean that they are any less cool, because it's a bloody work of fiction. |

“So yeah,” said Discord, “the stress. What was it you were asking me about ag..ain…” he trailed off as he noticed a glint in her psychotherapist’s eyes. Abruptly, he realised – the belching smoke, the grimy tracks, the slowly rotating turret-
His psychotherapist was a Big Mac Demolisher. Roaring, he leapt off the couch as a flurry of heavy bolter rounds tore it to shreds. Lightning wreathed the Talon of Luna, and he dropped into a crouch, cursing himself for not realising it sooner. He dodged to the side as the turret fired, sending a demolisher shell straight through the window of the office. Discord lashed out with Drach’nyen. The daemonsword tore a burning gash out of the side of the tank, but it gunned its engine and accelerated away through the wall, trying to get enough range to use its weapons against him. To replace his counsellor with a Big Mac without him knowing could only have been pulled off by some kind of tactical genius- “TWILIGHT!” bellowed Discord as he charged after the tank. “I’ll have your head spitted on my talon! I’ll hang your guts from my armour’s spikes! I’ll-” He was cut short as a lascannon beam forced him to lurch awkwardly sideways. “I’ll rip out your hooves and use them to eat your eyes!” he shouted, finding his rhythm again. “I’ll tear you out of your metal box and feed you to the thousand terrors of the Warp! I’ll… do very nasty things to your mother!” At this, the tank rumbled forwards, its sponsons roaring to life. Bolts thundered out at Discord, most going wide, but many still hammered into his armour. He forced his way through the storm and met the oncoming tank head-on, ramming Drach’nyen through the driver’s slit and feeling it bite deep into something behind it. Even as the tank’s dozer blade smashed into his shins he shouted in triumph and ripped the daemonsword upwards. With the power of Chaos coursing through him, the tank came up with the sword, rising in an immense arc until it tore free of the blade and went crashing over his head and through three walls. Startled heads peeked around the edges of the newly opened hole as Discord stalked towards the smoking remains of the tank. It had landed upside down, and had crumpled under its own weight. No man could have survived it, but Discord wanted to make sure. Using the Talon as a shovel, he dug his way through the tank until he came to the crew compartment. Instead of finding the smashed and ruined body of his nemesis though… there was a note. Frowning, he picked it up. Dear Discord, If you thought this was good, wait until you see what I did to your flagship. Yours sincerely, Twilight Sparkle. |

If you look closely though, he IS attached to a Sorcerer (with the Crozius and all...) |
| Anonymous #763583 7 months ago |
The Crozius is the symbol of office of a space marine chaplin. If i'm not mistaken as well the colour scheme and the style of the shoulder pads (coupled with the books) makes that the Word Bearers, who are Khorne related and so hate sorcerors and are essentially the only Chaos legion with chaplins still. |
