Tetrakemy 221 January 17, 2015 Share January 17, 2015 I really enjoy anything that has to do with them. They are not villains, but serve as a musical and very enjoyable obstacle for the characters to overcome in whatever snake oil sales pitch these two have cooked up! They are the only ponies I know of that have a cutie mark that is a devotion mark. A term I would like to coin for them and any other future ponies who's cutie mark does not have anything to do with their mission in life, talents, but a mark the symbolizes their attachment or purpose with being with someone else. It is quite self evident in the fact that their cutie mark is one apple with a piece missing and the other who's cutie mark is the missing piece. Plus, their songs are AWESOME SAUCE! Would you like to see Flim and Flam return for season 5? A cool idea would maybe be an episode where the two is having issues with each other and try to break the dual up and somehow get dragged into an adventure together with some of the main six where they are forced to work together to save the day, but the only way to do so is to do "something" that the both of them are very good that only the two of them can do together as team. Could make for a good forgiveness episode in friendship! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Letter 1,832 January 17, 2015 Share January 17, 2015 I was thinking something similar. A redemption episode for them would be fine. If their reputation was somehow tarnished like Trixie had suffered. It would make for an interesting conclusion. Silver Letter!!!

Princess Oceangem 61 January 17, 2015 Share January 17, 2015 They could have something along the lines of coming back for forgiveness, AJ convincing the others to not trust them, Flim+Flam do work on Sweet Apple Acres (requested by Fluttershy or Twi) so they can prove themselves. However they keep messing things up and AJ, Big Mac and Granny are busy so Apple Bloom teaches them how to do basic farm tasks. As a result Flim and Flam decide to stay for a bit and Apple Bloom gets her cutie mark. Ok so its a little a lot sketchy but I'm not MLP staff! So overall yes I would want to see them back!

MechanicalDoom 300 January 17, 2015 Share January 17, 2015 It'd be really interesting if they became better ponies and then were featured a little more in episodes as side characters. They could become more important. My OC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every villain needs to be redeemed. Sure, some characters(like Gilda or Lightning Dust) could work with a redemption episode/arc, but for others like like Flim/Flam, would actually hurt their characters and make them less interesting for many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuteycindyhoney 13,308 January 17, 2015 Share January 17, 2015 Flim and Flam need to invent another epic machine! I love the idea of magic coupled with technology. That was one of my favorite parts of "Rainbow Rocks" by the way. Not just Twilight building a technical device to reopen the portal. Vinyl's car obviously coupled with the magic to help defeat the Sirens. I'm hoping that the brothers come up with something awesome! Thank you Sparklefan1234!!!

Dulset Tarn 441 January 17, 2015 Share January 17, 2015 Definitely not if they'd be as mischaracterized and awful as they were in season 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkie-Guy 563 January 17, 2015 Share January 17, 2015 Yeah, I'm just not a fan of Flim and Flam. Unless they're going to get actual characterization, I'd rather we didn't see them in season 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was mearly suggesting is that they had a falling out with each other and the forgiveness episode would be about them having to forgive each other in order to work together to solve a problem that only their combined talent could solve to save the heroes.

Dulset Tarn 441 January 17, 2015 Share January 17, 2015 Am I the only one that thinks their characterization in Leap of Faith was just an absolute bastardization of how they were in season 2? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roughshod 719 January 17, 2015 Share January 17, 2015 (edited) You don't like flim flam? How about some spam? Or a dam? Or you could have a gram of yam and ham and bam a lamb into some jam instead of watching flim and flam! I love the flim and flammer, the salespony slammers, half mustachioed pistachio colored smooth talking scammers. They're the unicorn brothers, the double profit lovers, the cure for your bothers and the speedy apple squashers. Bit by bit they reap the bits, with no quit in 'em, take any pony and they'll win em', take any pitch and they can spin it. So come on over, no need for cold shoulders, and see the way their nonpareil can make the crowds beg to pay. EDIT: Squashers isn't the strongest rhyme but it seemed the best at the time.

VitalSpark 1,830 January 17, 2015 Share January 17, 2015 If there's a story that calls for a pair of not-quite-so-ethical salesponies, then yes, sure, recycle them rather than creating new characters. Other than that, not really. I never found them that enjoyable to watch. 1 ~VitalSpark~ [fimfiction] [deviantart] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conred 274 January 17, 2015 Share January 17, 2015 No, I lost all interest in them after Season 5. They should just stay in IDW comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonasDarkmane 19,788 January 17, 2015 Share January 17, 2015 Would I like to see them return? Uhmm yeah . I enjoyed them a lot. Especially their songs. I even managed to learn the 'Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000' song. It was hard, but I managed. I like how manipulative they are and how they are great opportunists.

Pastel 7,630 January 17, 2015 Share January 17, 2015 (edited) I'm not sure... They were amazing in SSCS6000, I loved their song. But I was a bit disappointed after watching Leap of Faith, the song wasn't that great, and they somehow became bad guys (since their product was a fake). Instead, maybe they will appear every two season (2=>4=>6...)? Edited January 17, 2015 by Blobulle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RainbowTashie 378 January 19, 2015 Share January 19, 2015 i don't think it would add anything if they brought them back to be honest :/ fraud salesponies doesn't give you a lot of options when it comes to the plot.

CaptainDoubloon 856 January 19, 2015 Share January 19, 2015 I would be surprised if they didn't make at least one appearance in season 5. I'm not sure how I feel about them. Not my favorite characters but I don't dislike them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
