That scene in magic duel is simply a mistake by M.A Larson. In fact many mistakes start to slowly accumulate after Lauren left, if you don't have the original ideas man to oversee the continuation of the project and no one cares enough then the writers are going to make mistakes not understanding fundamentals. M. A Larson worked with Lauren before, he should have left with her if he respected the craft. But the rest of Magic duel Fluttershy is fine.
Fluttershy being misportrayed in a scene in season 3 doesn't mean the Gala episode ruined her character at all, the Gala scene works, because it's built up to over the whole episode, we see why Fluttershy is starting to lose it, rather than her just summoning another version of herself. Same thing with Dragonshy, the whole thing is built up to her explosion, standing up for her friends after her friends had been with her the whole time, helping her up the mountain and now it was her turn to help them. The writers later on just wanted to create these moments without thinking about it, or understanding it. Without having the original mind behind it standing over their shoulder to correct it.
And I would say, always for everyone to accept that Season 1 is who the characters are, and nothing after can ruin that. Season 3 did the same thing to Pinkie having her scream her head off at Gummy, which was the first time I found her actually annoying. It's just bad writing, But in that case I personally believe the real Pinkie died in the Too Many Pinkie's episode and therefore my Pinkie is safe from any bad writing that followed.
Of course even before that scene in Magic Duel sometimes Fluttershy had been a bit in your face. But not to that level, it's just bad.
