One is an ancient and incredibly wise being, and the other is a pothead, two opposites
 
@Evil Emperor Proteus  
High tier considering he can tear and warp reality on a near-cosmic scale, and if I remember right doesn’t he have his own little pocket dimension? Although he’s still not on the level of a quasi-omnipotent being like Q

@C Money  
Going by Star Trek Online, I have a theory that Q moved to Equestria after Q Junior took over his father’s role.

Discord isn’t Omnipotent, he’s a low tier Reality warper.

So does that mean Tree Huger’s kinda immortal?

@C Money  
Makes sense. I wonder how many other TV/movie characters could actually be Q in a different guise as well. Great, now I imagine John de Lancie voicing the Ghost of Christmas Past…

@kircher  
Well at first: Discord only brought chaos, but was banished somehow by one of the lands he brought it to. This gave them time to think as he blocked the Enterprise D. After that, he thought how good it would feel if he taught lessons along with bringing chaos. The more you did it with the ponies, the better he doing it with the Enterprise crew. Every Q episode teaches the Enterprise crew a lesson, as the same Discord teaches the mane six a lesson.

@C Money  
My god. . .it all makes sense now!

@C Money  
*A reason

@Background Pony #6E9A  
And John De Lancie agreed to be the voice. The reason why I became a Brony.

I remember discord is based on q

Well Discord=Q. Q must’ve returned from a visit with Guinan, and saw Tree Hugger. This proves my “Star Trek: the next generation and my little pony are happening at similar time intervals” theory to be more true!
