Talk:Queen Chrysalis/@comment-10390252-20161114102404

So: I think that the hot topic here should be 'will we see Chrysalis again and will she have a redemption arc'? I believe that this is now a relevant question to ask, especially as To Where and Back Again: Part 2 seems to have set her up as Starlight Glimmer's new Nemesis and it appears that a vast majority of the Changelings have defected to Thorax.

What do I think? I think that we will see Chrysalis again but I can't even make a solid guess about whether they will do the 'redemption' thing with her. There are good narrative reasons to say 'no' (not the least because of the value of having a recurring villain). However, when you consider the past themes of the show and the fact that even Cthonic Abominations like Discord have been redeemed based, it seems, on Hasbro's assessment of fan reaction, nothing should be ruled out.

That said, given that the most common non-aggressive fanon of Chrysalis is the bitter, waspish room-mate in Flufflepuff Tales, I don't think a full redemption is likely. It seems that the fans prefer her at least as an irritable antagonist if not an out-and-out villain.

Personally, I like the idea of her changing into one of the 'ascended' forms and trying to get her revenge by seducing Blueblood with the intention of becoming ruler of the unicorns through him.
