for Fluttershy not to have invited Discord to the school in all that time is kind of out of character for her. So the episode doesn't really hold water.
On a side note, I'm really confused as to why season 8 has been received with so much negativity from the fandom. The earlier seasons were not criticized nearly as much, despite having many more flaws in terms of both writing and animation.
I thought it was fine, just not my favorite sort of episode. Discord eps just tend to irritate me. Didn't we already have a lesson about not doing things in Twilight's way?I preferred the Yakkity Sax ep a lot more because I found that lesson a lot more relevant and relatable.
but even so, looking past that little nitpick of Fluttershy having not invited him over the span of nearly a year in our time, is the fact that it has already been established that all of the mane 6 are Discord's friends now, according to "What About Discord?", so still, I have to ask- why hasn't anyone invited him in all that time? The episode still doesn't make sense in the frame of continuity that they try to establish thus far.
Ugh, I agree so much with this. I hate to be like "it's just a cartoon" but...it's just a cartoon!

It didn't seem like the mane6 have invited any of their other friends into the school aside from substitute teachers.

I didn't want to use the "it's just a cartoon" line because that tends to get people upset, but that's exactly it! I don't understand the need to over-analyze every bit of each episode. I think it's so much more enjoyable when I just sit back and watch it for what it is: an entertaining cartoon about colorful ponies.
