From a writing perspective, I understand why they’d nerf the Princesses and especially Discord. Their magical power would solve most brute-force conflicts. But that leaves an awkward taste when they encounter a threat they should be able to take but cannot for some reason. Magic draining and nullification became a real go-to for season finales later on.

I agree which is why I would love to see more fanart like this and I honestly wish they had brought in characters who were equal to or more powerful than discord. I feel like the princesses as well got underutilized in that area. I get the show is meant to be mostly a slice of life to teach kids lessons but yeah…
There are plenty of comic storylines tho that they probably got more focus, will have to see someday
