I would prefer her to be properly "redeemed" in the show. I would LOVE Hasbro forever if they showed how Derpy's voice changed by taking singing lessons with Sweetie Belle, her dexterity improved by taking flying lessons with Scootaloo, and her name changed by receiving a new one from the Apple Family for helping Apple Bloom get her cutie mark in something apple-related. This shows the target audience of children why Derpy's voice and name changed and why she hasn't been allowed to speak for so long since by demonstrating that by cooperating with your friends on your team you can both accomplish more than you could alone, and change yourself into something you didn't think was possible alone. That's how I have always felt the change should have been made. It doesn't justify any attacks against Derpy's original form, but develops her in the show in a way children and adults can understand and transforms her into a more safely marketable version for Hasbro's profitability.
