It’s like the biggest, most powerful Matrix transformation of Hot Rod into Rodimus Prime ever.

Arise Daydream Shimmer!

Wouldn’t that be the twist to end all twists, eh?

Wait, so Sunny Starscout has this type of alicornhood! … And maybe she’s Sunset Shimmer’s descendant!

Based and Nostradamuspilled, though personally I was (and remain) a bit mixed on the magical girls part of the specials. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed them plenty, but them using magic magic (as opposed to friendship magic) to resolve the plots didn’t really set my world on fire.

Arise, Daydream Shimmer!

She knew that corruption.
 
She knew that this version of Twilight was in over her head.
 
She knew it was not by choice.
 
Sunset made a choice like that. Back then…it was the wrong choice.
 
She was a devil once before…now she can become a God. Her will depended on it.

Still one of the best moments in the franchise.

The energy of 5 individuals for the ritual. She became an Alicorn God

once again im late to the joke

Now all she needs to do is leap over a shark.

Best girl!

“Honesty!”  
“Loyalty!”  
“Laughter!”  
“Generosity!”  
“HEART!”  
…  
“I mean, Kindness!”

“By your powers combined, I am DAYDREAM SHIMMER!!”

When I saw this during the premeire, I thought to myself “LUNA’S CRATERS! SUNSET IS XYZ SUMMONING!”

@vevans0009  
Well, fooey. I still expect her to end up the Princess of Forgiving. Someday.

Uhm….screen captures of the 3 eqg specials debunked that, dude.

Because of this scene, I will absolutely not be surprised if Sunset returns to the pony world and discovers she’s already an alicorn.

Guys, remember when Equestria Girls was about dancing and singing?
 
Excuse me while I watch these two Magical Goddesses duke it out.

“You’re gonna have to try a little harder than THAT!”

In my opinion, Equestria Girls didn’t humanize them enough. The weird fruit-pastel-skin-colors design they forced on the art team is just jarring and weird. Some characters work okay, but many just look awful because of the color palette chosen.

@Background Pony #AA1B
 
You’re adorable.
 

I hope all of you Yu-Gi-Oh fans catch my drift here but here it goes:
 
*For Twilight to turn into Midnight Sparkle, she used a device similar to the effect of “Metamorphosis”.  
*For Sunset to turn into Daydream Shimmer (though I personally call her Sunset Supernova) she had to use the same device as Twilight but had the similar effect of “Polymerization”.
 
I think I’m thinking about this too much. If anyone understands what I’m talking about please raise your hand. Or something like that…

@Ebalosus  
If they could negotiate their way to the kind of budget that supplies visuals like this on a regular basis, I would gladly watch Magical Girl Sunset Shimmer the TV series.
