I'm sure we have one of those.
And prepare to quake-proof your houses because this may rock your world; I'm a Brony that's not a fan of Discord from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
(insert sitcom audience boos here)
Yeah, yeah just hear me out.
I should start by saying that when I first learned about the two-part Season 2 premire 'Return to Harmony', I kept bumping into different parts of the plot being brought up on TV Tropes.
It gave me this impression; "Characters going OOC? a god-like villian sue who spends time trolling at the heroes and using various flavors of Deux Ex Machinas on them? this isn't a MLP episode, this is bad fan fiction writing!"
So for a a while I deafly avoided 'Return to Harmony' and went as far as skipping it when I finished the Season 1 episodes.
However, I eventually caved in when I finished watching all the other Season 2 episodes, and much to my surprise; I was wrong about it.
I was originally lend to believe Discord was some Villain Sue that was able to beat the Mane 6 effortlessly. But I saw the episode and realized how there was actual effort and intelligence in his planning. And I did find it clever that he brought most them them psychologically (with Fluttershy as an exception, humorously enough.
But in a sense, while I don't think Discord is the worst portrayed character, I'm not convinced he was very well-rounded.
Consider this, we're looking at a guy whose biggest desire is to turn Equestria into a world of chaos and misery. And when he first defeated the Mane 6 he effectively got his wish, but was cocky enough to mostly ignore them when they got back to normal, and he failed to notice they can use the Elements of Harmony again until it was too late.
To clarify, I went from prematurely considering Discord a Villain Sue to considering him a half-decent physical god villain with clever psychological tactics, that suddenly degrades to bond-villain stupidity in the last few minutes.
I know alot of other fans like Discord, though I think I can only slightly see why, and I heard somewhere that Discord is voiced by the same person who did a villain named Q from Star Trek, but I haven't seen Star Trek so I wouldn't know about him.
I just personally find Discord considerably overrated, I heard there were rumors that he might return in future episodes, and I don't think I'd mind too much, just as long as it takes what happened in 'Return to Harmony' into account and I suppose it might be interesting to see Discord having to be alot more cautious if he tries to defeat the Mane 6 again.
If you're among those who like Discord, good for you, but what charm he had on you didn't really affect me, but then, I'm an MLP fan who has Princess Celestia as one of his favorite characters.
Anyway, what fictional characters do you dislike that others enjoy?
