I don’t like Lightning Dust. Maybe it was her hairstyle or something. I think she was just a kinda boring villain.

Stop using the word villian to describe a pony who’s just a minor annoyance at best.
I like her, but not many otehrs seem to.

Not on purpose. She didn’t form a tornado to go on a killing spree.

I know, but still. If those Pegasi hadn’t caught them, they could’ve fallen to their death, and Lightning Dust would be held liable. Sure, it was an accident that that happened to them, but she still caused it.

That only means she’s a reckless s’wit, not that she’s evil.

Good point. I never really saw her as a real “villain” anyway, I just figured that since she was always paired with the “Antagonist 6” that there was something like that up.

Antagonist and villian mean different things.

I’m sorry, but there’s one character that handles recklessness, egoism, and arrogance much better.
…. Trixie.

Lightning Dust is far worse than reckless. She knew full well how many lives she was endangering with that tornado, and went ahead with it anyway. After sitting back and watching someone else clean her mess up, she brushed the whole incident off as unimportant. Not one shred of regret until she was directly punished for her actions.
That’s not being reckless, that’s being an amoral sociopath.

I liked Lightning Dust because she was basically an “evil counterpart” to Rainbow Dash, with RD’s negative traits taken to extremes: all the hotblooded attitude and arrogance with none of the loyalty or regards for others. In that regard, her character served its purpose better than Gilda (not that I think Gilda was a bad character, they just worked differently).

Rainbow Dash - Loyalty = Lightning Dust
This seems to be the case because the only thing that’s stopping Rainbow Dash from being too extreme is her friends (or at least the way I see it).
But Lightning Dust is awesome.

She’s ok. Just make Trixie a Pegasus and you got Lightning Dust.
/ok, that might be a bit wrong, but you get the idea.

fanarts usually help make characters likeable like they did for Sombra, but poor LD didn’t even get that
I’m waiting tho’
(no chance for it in the show, we’ll never see her again except as cameo)

Now your just making things up. She did not try to endanger anypony, she just got carried away. We also don´t know if she even saw what happened.No sociopath here, just a little bit reckless.
@Vree
Just no. She has to return.

She wanted to be the best. She was more willing to be opposed to one of our mane characters than most other characters. I wouldn’t say that she’s the best horse, but she is a good one.
