ggg-2 3,553 May 10, 2015 Share May 10, 2015 Over the past few years and seasons, we've seen a few antagonists return, but should Lightning Dust be one of them? She was cocky and full of herself, yes, perhaps even moreso than Rainbow Dash herself, but she came close to almost committing the pony equivalent of Manslaughter. (Involuntary Manslaughter, anyway, which is still a crime) Don't be a nerd. Join the herd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megas 27,919 May 10, 2015 Share May 10, 2015 Sure, I'm all for seeing ol' Lighty come back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Awesome One 1,315 May 10, 2015 Share May 10, 2015 Yes, but as something more dangerous, like a Shadowbolt or she tries to sabatoge Rainbow Dash's attempts to get into the Wonderbolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoisonClaw 8,166 May 10, 2015 Share May 10, 2015 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the only protagonists to get a second appearance were Discord, Trixie and surprisingly enough the Flim Flam Brothers (Diamond Tiara doesn't count because she's mean to be reoccurring). Plus, she's already served her purpose a minor foil to Rainbow Dash, meaning that the chances of worst pony Lightning Dust showing up again are slim to none.

colt_following 169 May 10, 2015 Share May 10, 2015 I think so. In my mind she didn't serve as a PURE antagonist... more of an exaggerated form of Rainbow's personality. There seems to be more that can be done with her. Come join the Equestria Big Band project! "A little glass of water, please..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singe 2,111 May 10, 2015 Share May 10, 2015 In Lightning Dust's defense Rainbow Dash's friends did came flying in the middle of the Wonderbolts training exercise, unannounced. Lightning Dust was just being scapegoated for the whole thing with no fault on the other Mane 5. This would be like flying in on a hot air balloon in the middle of an Air Force training exercise causing an incident and blaming one of the AF pilots for reckless endangerment.

Don't forget, the other Wonderbolt recruits, who were already there, were ALSO in the tornado's path, so it's still reckless endangerment. Don't be a nerd. Join the herd!

Singe 2,111 May 10, 2015 Share May 10, 2015 (edited) In actually, the scene has only the trainer keeping score being the only one that was endangered. None of the the other Wonderbolt recruits were shown to be in the path. The Mane 5 came in completely unannounced in the middle of the training exercise. Rainbow Dash was also a collaborator in making the tornado. So she's 50% responsible just as Lightning Dust is 50% responsible, of nearly hurting that trainer and some property destruction. Given the circumstances, the blame was stacked up solely against Lightning Dust while the Mane 6 get a pass. So that would give Lightning Dust incentive to come back as an antagonist where the Mane 6 ruined her chances.

Unlikeable Pony 2,699 May 10, 2015 Share May 10, 2015 I'd actually like to see Lightning dust team up with Gilda for a return personally. The two of them seem like they'd get along quite well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidral Mundet 1,666 May 10, 2015 Share May 10, 2015 (edited) Well given what a recent sneak peak from the card game as stated, we very well could have the return of Lightning Dust Card's Flavor Text: Wow, we're calling HER in to help? Is the fate of Equestria really worth it?- Rainbow Dash An interesting development to say the least Edited May 10, 2015 by Sidral Mundet 2 Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end.

That's what I've been saying! (not here, elsewhere, so I dunno if that counts or not) But still..... Well given what a recent sneak peak from the card game as stated, we very well could have the return of Lightning Dust Card's Flavor Text: Wow, we're calling HER in to help? Is the fate of Equestria really worth it?- Rainbow Dash An interesting development to say the least I saw this, earlier. Was too lazy to put up the img, so thanks yeah, flavor text. Great stuff. It's not so much a matter of "if", LD will return, but "when", with the Enterplay cards now starting to reveal teasers of future episodes.

They call me Loyalty 1,951 May 11, 2015 Share May 11, 2015 She isn't quite a likeable pony, personally. The main problem is that she isn't quite enough reason for a new plot. Which would be the only way, I assume, she would be introduced once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Awesome One 1,315 May 11, 2015 Share May 11, 2015 The Bronies have decided! Lightning Dust should return as a villain again in a futile attempt to get some sort of revenge on Rainbow Dash and fails at it. Suddenly realizes that she is a complete a-hole and promises to be good. Like most of the villains on this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
