Made utterly no sense Last we saw discord he was all anti love, which I can understand. He came around and saw what love meant to people, he learned. Gradually since discord become a good guy he has become more and more friendly, which is good.
However, in this episode it seems they threw all that development out the window. Starlight running the school made sense, especially when you have all the mane 6 out of the episode. Bringing Maud, Trixie, and Spitfire is a great idea. You couldve done so much.
What went wrong?
Discord threw a massive temper tantrum because he "felt left out" and was hell bent on ruining the school. Not only that but he sent the mane 6 away on a false friendship mission. Does any of his actions have consequences? No. He actually gets an apology and a reward. This not only reinforces whining to get what you want but its also completely out of character.
What could have been
Show us more of the substitutes teaching! Have 6 different people teaching classes! We got Maud, Trixie, Spitfire, why not Ms. Cake or Granny Smith, or Big Mac HECK THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS COULD TOO. The episode could be showing how much the mane 6 have affected ponyville so everyone is good at friendship, it could've birthed a cool all mane 6 friendship problem episode, and it couldve proved to have more than a couple tiny jokes in this massive dumpster five
2 stars cause it had a few funny moments
