Do you think Misty will betray Opaline?

Nooo!, it would be very cliché, hence my biggest fear for this generation! I am REALLY afraid that they will decide to do this typical twist that I dislike because of its exploitation. So I prefer Misty as another villian over a new ally, although, she will most likely be redeemed, sadly.

Honestly I don't care if it's cliché her relationship with Opaline is very abusive it would be best for her to reform and join the mane 5 and by that point it being cliché doesn't even matter any more considering what a toll Opaline is on her mental health.

My prediction is, she will stay evil for as long as possible. Meaning, she will only get redeemed for the final photograph for the final episode's end credits.

Opaline can't work alone. She has no connection to the outside world, and doesn't seem to want to go and hang out with the Mane 5, while Misty is made to be a sidekick for her, it has been proven she can interact with the Mane 5 on an episode basis.

 

Yes, she will cry on her bed, saying how unfair it is that she won't get her cutie mark. Yes, she will say that Opaline is cold and evil. But that's as far as it goes for her betraying Opaline. That's my prediction, and I hope it is false. I really do. Also, a one sided single cutie mark that no one of the other ponies seem to even care about, what kind of life goal is there to get one???

Based on everything we've seen so far, I'd be surprised if she wasn't reformed. A lot of people already mentioned the lack of another unicorn in the mane cast. She has already shown some regret for trying to steal Sparky, since the Mane 5 have been so friendly to her. The main reason why she's helping Opaline seems to be her lack of a cutie mark – if she ended up getting one in some other way or realizing that's possible, that could easily lead to her reformation.

The flying bus has 6 sits.... Its not on green spike i assure you XD.

Maybe it's posy's.

I don't see how it could be anything else. She's been a sympathetic character from the beginning.

I figure Misty will switch sides at some point, just like the Cutie Mark Crusaders had to get their cutie marks at some point---the setup needs a payoff.

So far, Opaline hasn't been seen outside her castle, and she's sent Misty to do her dirty work each time---the implication is that she can't leave, though one of the video games is bringing that into doubt.  So if Misty left, that would change Opaline's dynamic as a villain quite a bit; she'd need something else that would let her have influence outside of the castle if Misty left her.  But then again, the writers can introduce a new character or set of characters (giving her a new lackey actually seems like it'd be great for narrative, character development, and maybe even merchandising), or they can give Opaline a power boost in-story that lets her no longer need Misty to be a threat.

Heck:  they could have Opaline get desperate enough to invite Nightmare Creatures into her heart, just so she's got a way out of her castle---turning her into as much a victim as Luna was.  It'd be an interesting way to possibly redeem Opaline, having her on the receiving end of abuse, instead.

I think Misty will betray Opaline and join the Mane Five. I don't think Misty's bad, just misguided.

Plot twist... Opaline will be the missing sixth member...

[meowmeowponies123 83]

I have not watched all of Make your mark yet but I reallly think Misty might betray Opaline. 

[Evil Pink One 13,507]

Plot twist... Misty kills opaline....

She already did, Opaline even got 2 new servants to replace Misty.
