Talk:The Ending of the End - Part 1/@comment-26423071-20191013012644

Honestly, I'm glad I'm able to talk about the two-parter. I watched the leaked Dutch versions, so I wanted to get my thoughts on the two-parter off my chest since August.

The first thing that comes to mind is the "Grogar is Discord" twist. I hated it. After all that buildup, all the presence Gogar had, the promise that a cool villain from Generation 1 would be back in his full glory...the rug is pulled from under us.

Just like with the Mandarin in the MCU, only worse. Why? Because this is it. No "All Hail the Goat King", no "Shang Chi and the Legend of Grogar". Grogar remains a fake.

Yeah, we did get a decent final confrontration when Cozy Glow and Tirek and Chrysalis absorbed Discord's power and became Chaos Gods...but it just isn't the same.

Furthermore, the fact Discord never gets comeuppance for pulling this stunt. Keep in mind, not only did he freed Cozy Glow and Tirek from Tartarus, not only did he gave Cozy Glow and Tirek and Chrysalis the means to get back on top when all three of them were more or less defeated (in addition to Cozy and Tirek being trapped in Tartus, Chrysalis would have more likely spent the rest of her days talking to the logs that used to be the Mean Six if it wasn't for Discord)...

...but Discord brought King Sombra back to life, allowing Sombra to almost take over Equestria. That's why Celestia's "this is unforgivable" attitude towards the Legion of Doom is hypocritical....resurrecting an eldritch abomination and giving him the means to take over the kingdom, that somehow isn't unforgivable? By Celestia's own standards, Discord should also be turned to stone.
