Or Grogar didn’t appear in the comic because it was set before the the episode and was planned/written before they knew of him.

You’re still failing to explain WHY this twist was bad. I can list reasons it worked (It explains Grogar’s power. Discord using trolling method to help others but not thinking thing through fits his character. If Grogar was real there wouldn’t have been enough time in the episode to deal with him satisfactorily on top of the other villain. As an elaborate attempt to redeem them it proved them beyond redemption thus justifying they’re being permanently dealt with.)
Just because it’s unexpected doesn’t make it automatically bad (would you be less upset if they foreshadowed it so you weren’t surprised by it?), otherwise being formulaic and predictable wouldn’t also be a complaint. If this twist was so bad it shouldn’t be so hard to list objective reasons why.
Are you saying you don’t like it or are you criticizing it? If you just don’t like it that’s fine. If criticizing then give reasons to those inclined to disagree.

People who thinks this plot twist isn’t an insult to the intelligent and are okay with that, needs to rethink their life decisions. Even Discord’s hates will said that this is so absurd and forced to his character.

Well… Cosmos is a psychopath who can murder children because she found it fun and she is the malice incarnation (or a draconequus sub-species to trying to explain why she have the same powers than Discord)… so yes, is a villain…
That moment when IDW beside their fucks ups… they never will make that plot twist, maybe that’s why Grogar don’t appear like a cameo in Cosmos’ arc, because they know that plot twist and because it sucks, they never put him in that scene of “The malice incarnation”… i bet that they just never mention it when they will make an “20 years later” one-shot or mini-series…
If you can give an example of a plot twist like this that you think worked, then explain why this in contrast didn’t work, we’d be interested in hearing it. It’s just whining that hurts the credibility of even legit complaints otherwise.
