    Now this is a movie I want to see. Sunset coming back to Equestria and facing her past. I want Celestia to forgive her, but Sunset not accepting that forgiveness right away and she tries to redeem herself by showing her what she has learned. And by the end of it, Sunset is confused as to why Celestia is just so accepting towards her, even after what she has done, in which Celestia says something like, "My dear Sunset. You have learned your lesson already while in the human world. You have learned respect, patience, friendship, but most important of all, humility. I have learned a lot from Twilight's visits to your world and have heard of your growth from who you were when you were a student in my care. That is why I can forgive you."

    Redemption stories to me are ALWAYS amazing, because they teach an important lesson: The strength of a person isn't based on never failing, but RISING every time they fall. And Sunset Shimmer fits that lesson to a tee.

    It's amazing how Sunset Shimmer has grown from the typical high school villain to one of the greatest heroines of the franchise, she has even exceeded my expectations, and apparently, i'm not alone on those feelings. And damn it, i also want that final scene to be in the show, if the movies were ever canon to the show.
    And before anyone comes and throws crap on Starlight *just because she is taking Sunset's place*.... give her another chance, because after all, that's what we did with Sunset in the first place.

      Well except of a few background similaritys, they are bouth rather different characters. Sunset was oppenly shunned after her redemption, but believed in herselfe. Starlight is accepted with open hoofs, but has a lot of selfdoupt and tends to project her own view of hersels on others. Sunnset relies on her friends, and tries to fit in without compromising herself. Starlight Is very shure of the talends he she has (and very unsuhre about the once she doesn't) and uses her magic to make the world fit herself. Sunnset seeks Twilight for guidance. Starlight for praise and reasurance. Starlight seems to let her manipulative side behind sometimes fearing that it returns. Sunnset has still this manipulative side and is sometimes oblivios to it, or sees nothing wrong with it. and so on and so on.

    Aww, you sappy, sappy bird. Very nicely done. Sunset and her arc has been one of, if not the, biggest strength of the Equestria Girls series. In fact, for all the comparisons made with Starlight Glimmer, I think that only works in how Sunset zigged where Starlight zagged.

    • @MLP-Trinary
      @MLP-Trinary 8 років тому +2

      Sunset's 'redemption' at the end of the first EQG movie was the worst in terms of pacing and development. It was literally tacked on. Starlight's, I think, of all the redeemed villains, hers actually got the most time to explore it and was the most plausible (though after so many other rushed redemptions, most fans weren't inclined to be too generous towards it). But whereas Starlight's portrayal in Season Six has been, well, not that great; Sunset's development in the later EQG films has been phenomenal. Heck, in Friendship Games Crystal Pep Twilight's Disney Princess style 'wanting more song' was originally a brilliant duet with Sunset Shimmer. It was powerful, even moving and cutting it was a huuuge mistake on their part. So to wrap up: loved the review, will show my pro-Sunset Shimmer friends and while wonder how the heck you'd make an alliterative title for a Zecora video. ;)

      They won't... well not unless someone choses to ignore the entire arc, characterisation and story they've crafted around Sunset.
      Perhaps Poniverse Celestia might seek to reconcile (although given her character, I doubt it) - but the biggest question would end up if Sunset would either accept or care about such. I'd argue that while she' likely put actual resentment behind her, even in the E.G.verse ... she isn't exactly on "Friendly" terms with Principal Celestia.
      Her interactions instead are almost exclusively with VP Luna.
      I'd argue while Celestia' opinion of her, likely matters little to her... Luna' probably holds considerably more sway and respect. Yet when it comes to Poniverse Luna, well they never met; at least as far as we know.

      Celestia asked Twilight if Sunset was all right as SOON as she got back from the human world - does that sound like someone who doesn’t give a DAMN about their former student & friend?

    • @Leyvin
      @Leyvin 8 років тому

      sparxstreak02 • Out of Context, no... it sounds like the actions of someone who is concerned.
      Still, if you go back through all the Series; you'll notice she actually asks the same of almost every foe that Twilight faces.
      This is little more than Celestia fishing for details, and the way she frames it makes it look like she is benevolent and caring, etc.
      Heck this is showcased at the start of the film when she said "I banished her in the hope that she would learn her lesson and one day return."
      Now, there are a few people I know who that line will sound familiar with if they grew up in a Religious Family.
      Where their parents basically disown and kick them out for being either Gay or Atheist.
      Almost the exact same words are used. Oh they'll frame it like they give a damn. As if this is some act of Mercy - when in reality it's a selfish and uncaring act. They don't care about their Child, they care about their "Appearance" as a Good Christian.
      The same can easily be said of Celestia, and there's plenty of evidence in the Series and Movies that "Appearance" is more important to her than actually giving a damn - as so often she would refuse to step in and step up.
      In fact the *only* time she does is when Chrysalis tries to take back her Kingdom.
      Though again is she acting because she "Cares about her Subjects" or "Cares about her Power / Position"?
      Context is everything.

    If they make a fifth equestria girls movie, this is what I want. The movie takes place at the end of the school year and is about graduation. After the school year, Sunset believes that it's finialy time to return to equestria, her real home, and make amends with Celestia. I think that a good way to end the equestria girls series, as it ties up all louse ends and the series comes full circle, as the first one opened with Sunset returning to equestria as a villain, the last one closes with her returning as a hero.

      It is going to be pretty hard to make a story in which makes Sunset believe abandoning her best friends forever is the best course of action, and it will be pretty hard to actually make that seems satisfying and not forced. Sunset is really meant to stay in the other world, as the 4th move showed with her new element and powers. Obviously, you couldn't have seen the 4th move when you posted your comment, but asking Sunset to leave for Equestria is equivalent to asking Twilight to move to the human world forever.

  • @JanisChambers
    @JanisChambers 8 років тому +5

    I think Sunset is underappreciated by many in the Brony community. She's probably the most redeemed character in the entire franchise. I seriously want to see an episode where she returns and Luna becomes the guide to her ascension. Twilight had Celestia as her compliment, the two having in common the feature of taking on too much and being emotionally unavailable for others. (For Celestia is was her sister, for Twilight it was essentially everyone). Luna is Sunset's obvious compliment being the two had to forgive themselves and move on from their possessions.
    It's honestly a perfect match for the past. In olden days you had Celestia, Luna, and StarSwirl the bearded. In this time you have Twilight, Sunset, and Starlight. Light, Dark, and Neutral :3 It just works far too well.

    I've also been saying for a long time that Sunset and Celestia need to reconcile after what happened long ago. It's been the one aspect of Sunset's past that continues to linger about--it would also give her a chance to experience life as a pony again--and now would be the perfect time for a worthwhile resolution.

Sunset is my favorite character and she really needs more spotlight than a movie a year. She's come so far from villain to hero, completing a cycle in the first three movies and with magic seemingly evolving once again in the upcoming movie, I'd really like it if we saw Sunset really start to become a mentor to the girls, starting her off on the next part of her development.
    And Lord, that meeting between Sunset and Celestia at the end actually made me tear up. It was so beautiful and heart wrenching and joyous. I really hope we actually get to see them make up one day in the show/movies.

    But, it really does show that NO character is utterly unsalvageable and they did SUCH an amazing job so quickly and so simply. Turing the most pathetic, idiotic waste of animation cycles in the whole G4 (Not named Flash Sentry) and turned her into one of the most compelling, lovable, and endearing characters in the entire franchise, in just one movie. Hell they kind of managed that in just one musical number, "My Past is not Today."
    And all your points were.. pretty much spot in,. might quibble a bit on a few details but overall, yeah they are all why Sunset is so damn awesome since RR.

    Yeaaah.. but I'd still kind of like a believable backstory as to WHY or rather HOW Sunset became who she was, and that's something that not even the comics have seem to do completely right. Hence, I go back to one of the statements I'll hold onto till the day I die: "The fandom of the show is better than the show itself." They actually try to create a backstory that explains why Sunset is power driven and determined to succeed. Some have her being raised by a single father whom after she becomes Celestia's student takes his own life, and others have her be a CLONE and therefore instill in her the need and desire to prove herself. And I'm sorry if I'm being too pessimistic and taking all of this too seriously, but I feel that the show itself does not put enough effort into developing believable backstories for all their characters.

    • @TheDark4light
      @TheDark4light 8 років тому +3

      It feels like there is a major disconnect between whats believable in Equestria and what we believe. Take Starlight Glimmer for example. Twilight and, most importantly here, Spike dont even question how much losing a single friend sets her on this path. Spike has been known to be the voice of reason before yet he doesnt say a word. Sure we can take in writing choices and so on but Ive always been of the belief that if a choice is made for a world then it makes sense in that world. Doesnt matter what we think of it, it happened so it is obviously something that happens.
      So Spike doesnt say a word because Spike either cant understand or, and this is the assumption Im working off, he does and believes that Starlight has a reason to feel like she did. I cant explain Sunset under these rules but if I had to take a guess? There is some generic law or rule of nature in Equestria that we are never told. Maybe the ponies dont even know about it and its something they naturally understand.
      What I believe is that Equestria has some type of energy flowing through it. The magic of friendship and harmony may be something equivalent to the force and ponies are just more sensitive to it. Being around Rainbow made Gilda kinder than most Griffons, maybe because some of that "magic" rubbed of on her, Gabby would be like a jedi popping up out of nowhere. Spike was born into it and raised around it. Which then rubbed off on Ember.
      Friendship problems seem to be solved to easily and new friends spring up to suddenly for it to be natural. The mane 6 may just be the equivalent to the Jedi coucil.
      Is it stupid and overly complicated? Yes. But I think it makes sense. To me at least.

      "Some have her being raised by a single father whom after she becomes Celestia's student takes his own life, "
      Oroboro's fics ARE amazing.. even if that one detail seems really out of place and mostly just forced in to provide a parallel to EQGverse Sunset, whose dad had a reason for doing that. While Pony dad.... yeah that just seems so... out of place and wrong.
      The clone thing...... wut.....
      But really, it's more a case of they did not think out ANYTHING in the first movie, and after that were just stuck with what they could salvage from the feces pile, and with only one 90 min or so movie a year, there simply is not time to go into detail, as well as mostly just trying to move on past that.. without utterly ignoring it.
      +TheDark4light Orrrr.. it is an overreaction, they all knew it was, but at the point, mocking her about how stupid it was would have been.. well rather stupid, PLUS they weren't doing this to hurt her, but to understand her and figure out how to make her see how wrong she's been. Even if it didn't make sense to them, they understood how much it hurt HER, and that was all that mattered, not how 'someone' should take that, but only how STARLIGHT took it, which was to be deeply wounded and hurt at the loss, and have that loss drive her to close herself off, wanting that empty void to be filled, but afraid it would just rip the wound deeper if she lost that pony too, until it finally warped her entire way of looking at the world.

  • @wMTF2
    @wMTF2 8 років тому +1

    Between the three movies, Sunset has well and truly grown to be one of my favourite characters, and my favourite human character, even if she wasn't at her best in the first movie. In terms of comparison, I like to think she's like Eggsy from Kingsman: The Secret Service. Both characters start out doing bad things in their lives (stealing a car, stealing the crown), but by the end, because of the person that entered their lives (Twilight Sparkle, Harry Hart), they've changed for the better and are now better for it. It's debatable how relatable the middle portion of their transformation (the training montage, Rainbow Rocks) is, though. I've even considered the song Get Ready for It by Take That as Sunset's theme song.
    IMO, I'd be perfectly fine with Sunset returning to Equestria to make amends with Celestia, just as long as Sunset doesn't end up permanently staying there. I know it's not a popular opinion, but I feel that the human world is her home. She now has friends at the human world and I feel that it would be bad for her if she ended up permanently staying at Equestria.

  • @Skaz32225
    @Skaz32225 2 роки тому +2

    The reason why Sunset Shimmer is one of my favorite MLP characters is that she is so relatable. When you compare her with the Mane 6, they are kinda perfect. Sunset is one of the characters who acknowledges that she is far from perfect. She still has her anger issues and is sometimes still selfish. But through all that she tries to make the best of it and she puts a lot of effort to be a good friend for her group. It is a pity though that she didn't get the chance to return to Equestria to made things right. The reconciliation scene with Princess Celestia in Forgotten Friendship was way too short. And an episode with all the other reformed ponies (Princess Luna, Starlight, Trixie and Tempest) would have been awesome.Although Sunset was not a character in the main series of FiM, she has been a global fan favorite and that is really because of the character development through the EQG series.

    Amazing video Silver. Points out all the best parts of Sunset, and parts of why I think I really identify with her.
    And why I've felt a bit torn in the sense of finding who I am lately- cause I feel like I'm Sunset, this underdog that's hit rock bottom and wants to work my way up to being accepted again, while everyone- old friends, new friends, and relatives- say that I'm Twilight and Fluttershy. I'm special, I care a lot about others, and just want to make them as happy as me or even more happy then me.

    The "Transformation, Remorse and Redemption Theory" as I like to call it is why I view Sunset's redemption as not rushed.
    As well can tell from FG, Magic can be very Corrupting and Controlling. Even if the motives are well meaning, a lack of understanding of magic will take the control from you, and it will hurt.
    After Sunset transformed, she was no longer herself. I'm positive it was painful and that it scared her greatly. She was willing to reform because she wanted to understand, but to also be watched after, and to be cared for until she is sure of recovery and that she won't relapse. Kind of similar to drug use.
    Also my second favorite head canon besides above is the Pyromancy head canon. Which states that Sunset is a powerful Pyromancer.
    But lastly, I really want Sunset to return to Equestria. She is a very enjoyable character and I feel like her arc ends back home. Even if she grew accustomed to HW, Equestria is still her home. And she feels out of place until she returns.

    Pony Twilight helped Pony Sunset learn the magic of friendship, then Pony Sunset helped Human Twilight learn the magic of friendship, if this pattern keeps going on then maybe they'll make it so that Human Twilight helps Human Sunset learn the magic of friendship, but something that would really make this idea more interesting & non-copycat-ish from an earlier EQG story, would be if whatever magic that keeps ponies in human form while in the human world is disabled, thus causing Pony Sunset to revert back to her true Unicorn form, then Pony Sunset decides to finally return to Equestria, and then it's revealed that the Actual Human Sunset turns out to be a Grown Woman in her mid-20's, who just started a career as a rookie high school teacher & becomes the Human Mane 6's new science teacher, it would make a great concept where the students learn from their teacher & the teacher also learns from her students.

It makes me kinda disappointed that MLP/EQG are so set apart in regards to never doing crossovers. I think by now the fandom would accept the canon-ness of EQG (especially if EQG tried harder to make Flash Sentry more than just a stock love interest, that would help a lot of people get over it)
