I hope they are not just randomly redeemed off-screen. The Dazzlings were some of the best villains in either series, and they could have had a lot more great villainy to give. I always thought their absence was going to have something to do with them plotting their revenge or trying to repair their pendants. I almost wish the Dazzlings were the ones behind the time-loop, rather than two more celebrity OC’s.

One thing they could do though is present them as potentially redeemed, with the main characters and the viewers uncertain if they have changed their ways or not, then have them capitalize on a grab for power in an end of credits scene. Them realizing magic is leaking from the Equestrian portal for example, and of course, learning the portal is there at all.

The Dazzlings should stay as antagonists for as long as possible.

They don’t have to be redeemed right away though. Chrysalis was not redeemed after her first appearance. Redeeming the Dazzlings should happen towards the end of the series.
