Finesthour 7,287 June 16, 2012 Share June 16, 2012 Doubt it. Side characters almost never return. *loltrixie* 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starshine 16,333 June 16, 2012 Share June 16, 2012 She better not, we don't need anymore reasons for Fluttershy to cry. Besides, that griffon already made quite a mess that was surely enough to warrant a slow death in the burner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneyshredderofdeath 414 June 16, 2012 Share June 16, 2012 Couldn't see her acting nicer really. After her episode she probably found similarly unkind folk to hang around with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mare in the Moon 173 June 16, 2012 Share June 16, 2012 What if she came back, being nice to everypony, but shes secretly trying to be nice to steal all the attention away from Rainbow Dash or Pinkie Pie. That would be kinda cool to see. Finally committed my first name change. TURKEYS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tupin86 195 June 16, 2012 Share June 16, 2012 I don't know, have they had a chance to do the "everyone deserves a second chance" moral yet? I think that would be better served for the return of Trixie, maybe both at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would be better served for the return of Trixie, maybe both at the same time? I agree the second chance moral would be better with Trixie too. If I would think Trixie comes back as a better Pony, but Twilight and perhaps some of her friends are suspicious of her, not living up to that moral at first. and so on in that fashion.

Solemn Hour 39 June 16, 2012 Share June 16, 2012 That would be interesting... I won't say that I would be glad to see Gilda back, but it would be a great plot to see her return to trick Pinkie Pie into something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I used to be a stranger 7,993 June 16, 2012 Share June 16, 2012 Gilda, like Trixie and the Flim Flam Brothers, are characterized enough and left with their departures abrupt and narrative unbiased so that there is room for the showmakers to bring them back some other time some other way if they wanted them to. With villains like Discord, Chrysalis, that red jerk in Dragon Quest and the Parasprites, more closure was put into them so that it was less likely that they would return. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavelColt 22,880 June 16, 2012 Share June 16, 2012 Gilda did make an interesting antagonistic character, but I too don't have a craving to ever see her again. It would be interesting to see her come back and no longer be a bitch, but like what's been said, it's very unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdhardSilver 7 June 16, 2012 Share June 16, 2012 (Disengaging Gilda Bias) It would interesting. Working with the mane6 would offer up diversity (griffon working with ponies), contrast (an aggro character amongst mostly cheery characters), and (as stated above me) convey 2nd chance/redemption/trust morals. (Reengaging Gilda Bias) The griffion is cool in my book and I think its weird that she is damned for making Fluttershy cry. Fluttershy has sprung waterworks before and Flutter has toughen up so I don't think too many problems would arise between her and Gilda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viridian Daybreak 66 June 16, 2012 Share June 16, 2012 Yeah, she should come back with the forgiveness moral of the episode. And the return of Gilda would allow an opportunity of some Rainbow Dash history since she's Rainbow's old friend. And other than the Cutie Mark Chronicles there hasn't been much on the ponies' childhood. It'd make a good episode and I wouldn't be surprised if it happens in the next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverwisp the Bard 2,353 June 16, 2012 Share June 16, 2012 Gilda redeeming herself would be great IMO. I know it's cheesy, but there are many enviroments/reasons for her to have turned out like she has: Maybe Griffons have a much harder time growing up than ponies. Also, heres hoping we get a flashback of RD and her being jerks, wrecking stuff. 1 My Art Thread, updated (almost) daily Tomorrow will take us away, far from home No one will ever know our names But the bard songs will remain.

Your post alone has done quite a bit of convincing on my part. Plus, reading through the topic, if I had to pick between Gilda or Trixie coming back with the 'moral forgiveness' theme, I'd prefer Gilda. Trixie is frankly unoriginal in comparison. We've got plenty of unicorns with magic, but Gilda has been the only griffon so far, and like you've explained, it could open up a back-story about Dashie's days at Summer Flight Camp, etc. Gilda'd apologize to Fluttershy, and maybe, just maybe, the rabid Fluttershy fans wouldn't feel like mauling her anymore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas 2,873 June 16, 2012 Share June 16, 2012 After seeing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sHlZl9X6aM&feature=youtube_gdata_player I've come to a final conclusion of this: My journey in the fandom started on April 5, 2012. I joined here on April 24, 2012. Where that journey is headed now, who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonVindicated 71 June 16, 2012 Share June 16, 2012 Gilda return as nice? I find myself wondering about the possibilities. Truth be told I find it a dubious concept, but not an impossible one. Largely because I remember reading somewhere that Hasbro did not want a cohesive continuous story, but rather segmented episodes as a vehicle to sell more toys. So unless they want to sell a Gilda toy I can't see them having her return. It really all depends on what the creators have in mind for Gilda, and what potential they see in her. If Gilda was intended as a throwaway "bad guy" character with no plans for marketing a toy. I can't see her returning, but there is one thing that makes me hopeful it might change. That one thing is everything there is about Derpy. Considering that she was just a mere background character, but now she has her own toy. It seems that anything might be possible. Sure Gilda was mean to Fluttershy, as it was intended for Gilda to represent a "two-faced bad friend". However, I have always wanted to see more complex villains, and there is still a possibility that she can appear in another episode to show a better side of her. I would support a return of Gilda for this reason, because I want to see MLP break even more perceptions about cartoons. I want it to be an even more powerful symbol of what it means to be unique and different. Otherwise, there would not be much of a point in having her return. Unless they want to sell a Gilda toy, but that is up to anyone's guess at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokuc 8,173 June 16, 2012 Share June 16, 2012 I do not think Gilda will return. Not sure if I'd want it either since I did not like her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomuraBL 851 June 16, 2012 Share June 16, 2012 I'd rather have Trixe as the nicer pony then Gilda. Now, I don't like either of them, but Trixe would probably be more interesting considering how Twilight showed her up last time. Not to mention she has a bigger chance of coming back.
