Aww Vex come on, why you gotta do Discord dirty like this? The chapter was (well IS) fucking awesome, this is well on the way to being the best fight in the story, but then you end it like THAT!
You literally PLOT ARROWED Discord (yes it's exactly what it sounds like) and it made only a little more sense than when it happened to Mustache (at least here it's based on something that was in the show and therefore established before hand).
Like I'm supposed to believe Discord isn't going to react to a spear THROWN FROM A DISTANCE, by Queen Chrysalis who is MUCH WEAKER THAN HIM even in this story's universe. And I'm supposed to believe this because.

0:30 Well what the hell do you call this? And that was against an opponent who was no threat to him at all
Don't get me wrong. I understand the necessity of the fact you need to get rid of Discord right now or Substitute Starlight wouldn't really be a threat but at least have it be fired POINT BLANK or from behind him where he doesn't see it coming (and done by the much stronger Espada Chrysalis). That would be easier to swallow than what's here.

Because Discord's never been in a "real fight" and therefore doesn't know how to dodge.“Sure, you could do that. But even little bugs can be dangerous,” Starlight replied in a cold voice, “Especially against someone who, having never been in a real battle, doesn’t know how to dodge.”
