Fluttershy won’t be amused with such a boring horsebando. She want someone who will throw his arm around and fetch it with his leg, not someone who will show her a trick with a coin hidden behind her ear.

Actually, people keep expecting Chrysalis to reappear after IDW made sure that she got freed in Sombra’s comic and became an overall threat to Equestria without forcing comics to retcon this.

Actually it took a thousand years after they got pulled out for there to be a problem.
 
Now that the plunder vines are dead, the Chest has been opened and the Tree has had time to recover, there shouldn’t be any reason they can’t recover the Elements temporarily for a desperate situation.

The tree wasn’t almost killed by Plants when they pulled them out the first time.  
Given how it was set up as a giant sacrifice, the scene implied they COULDN’T remove them again, like the tree would need them to keep itself alive/healthy after what Discord’s plunder vines did to it.
 
otherwise the whole “Give up the EOH” scene where twilight said they weren’t what made them friends would have been pointless and they would have just pulled the gems RIGHT back out after putting them back in.

Agreed, there’s FAR too little fluttershy interaction with discord for his character growth.  
I mean, come on, she’s supposed to be the most important character in his life, SHE should be the one teaching him stuff about friendship.
 
@PonyPon  
Most likely they’ll just pull the old “I know what its like to be a former villain” schtick and talk him down like she tried (and failed) with chrysalis in the finale.
 
 
@PonyPon  
I’m hoping they end up just meaning the mane six when they say “the elements of harmony” because otherwise I’ll be PISSED :(

Now that i think of it. Radiant Hope is kind of similar to Starlight in term of personality. Or the lack of it.

Also what’s with both the show and comics putting Starlight on the pedestal? Is this how they try to make the fans love her? By making everyone useless and defeated?
 
Probably.
 
Then again, after Radiant Hope, it certainly doesn’t surprise me that the comics would do this sort of thing.

They just turned him into British gentleman from the XIX century. Very uncreative. And i bet he will just use the standard intelligent way of talking like “I presume” and “very interesting, indeed”. Maybe even british words like “chap”

This comment is going to look really silly in hindsight when it turns out this is just a cover and not what he looks like in-issue.
Unimpressive

So, Accord is just fucking Discord dressed like a snake oil seller from the 1800? That’s… amusingly disappointing.  
Seriously though, you are tasked with designing a being of pure order and this is the best you can come up with? This is a creativity miniholocaust right there.
