Who else here is familiar with Grant Morrison's concept that the idea of a god IS a god? The thrust of it is that gods are like memes, the more people think of them and spread them, the stronger they grow.
I think that was at work in letting out Discord. Note what happens right before his statue starts to crack, in totality: not only are the CMC fighting, creating discord in action, but they're TALKING about discord, THINKING about discord, HEARING about discord from Cheerilee. Discord all up in this bitch.
All this ideation of discord flooded the collective subconscious, the metaspace if you will, and combined to give Discord enough power to break free. And now that he's free, he's self-sustaining: he creates discord, which begets more discord, which all flows back to him and gives him power, because he's the incarnation of a concept, and every time that concept occurs in any way, he gains power from it.
tl;dr Discord is pulling some meta shit.
And it's the same with Celestia and Luna. The mere speaking of their names, the mere thinking of the sun and the moon and day and night, grants them strength. For them, for all gods, belief is power. |
