Dude, literally, how often do Rainbow & Gilda get to hang out? Like couldn't she have let them be to themselves for one day? What is her deal? She is a needy, obsessive creep if you ask me. Gilda is a bully, and she is rude asf but she doesn't leave you hanging on where she stands with you, she didn't like Pinkie Pie & even agreed to come to the welcome party Pinkie through for Rainbows sake. They could have been more hospitable and understanding than just smearing her non stop while getting pranked as a visitor none of these ponies had ever met? She's not nice, but Pinkie has an insufferable personality and if she just would have let them kick it and reminisce on old times together and hang out for a day, the friendship wouldn't have had a falling out, Pinkie forced the issue, and ruined it for everyone ultimately 

I agree, out of the mane six, Pinkie is undoubtedly my least favorite, she has nothing special about her like the other ponies and just has an annoying personality overall

Aaaaah, good ol' bullying. I really dont like Gilda, and never understood what Rainbow Dash saw in her. Is she blind ? She mustve known she was bad, but didnt do anything because loyalty and nostalgia, right ? The reversal at the end was great, even I thought it was Pinkie at first.

7/10, would watch a bully get pranked again.

Gilda's mannerisms and design are so good. Especially for anyone who has spent any time around a bird. The side eying cracked me up. I agree that Pinkie could've backed off, but I also feel like we needed some communication here. I don't think Gilda was a grump as much as she was sort of sad that Dash had moved on without her. She felt lowkey replaced especially once you actually get more griffon lore (it's sadder.) I won't spoil that tho. I think everyone was feeling a little insecure (minus Dash lol) and came off a bit too strong and it got under everyone's skin. Pinkie wasn't being malicious but she was jealous for sure...and so was Gilda a bit. All of these friends now surround Dash and Gilda probably felt out of place a bit. I think Dash could've had better boundaries for Pinkie rather than going so hard at Gilda in the end, but Dash Is also known for letting her emotions rule her. 6/10
