LoK / MLP:FIM - Tarrlok and Discord

So. In this children's cartoon show, we have a dangerous villain who likes being in power. His first appearance had viewers going, "This guy? Seems affable and harmless." To achieve his ends, this character manipulates others psychologically, using their weaknesses and fears. This has worked out well for him most instances, but there was one character he couldn't persuade. Realizing that he's going to lose (and does this guy hate losing), the villain resorts to cheating to get what he wants, showing that he can physically control his victim but chooses not to. He takes joy in defeating the main heroine who's also been shown to have the strongest will...

I can't be the only viewer who saw similarities.

And also, both are immobilized the last time we saw them. Booyah.
