He won’t. Seeing as how the movie takes place in-between Seasons 2 and 3, its safe to say that he won’t. However, considering how at some point this movie was going in a completely different direction to stand out, I don’t feel guilty for spoiling that Discord was going to be defeated presumably for good at some point in one of the original drafts of the script. Mostly because it isn’t going to happen anymore.

Some members of the team told me to go ahead with it because we managed to write it in a way that made sense, but in the end, I just didn’t have it in me to go through with it. People are kinda upset at how I’m sort of portraying him in the movie already, I didn’t wanna cause more controversy.
