fans often forget that Sunset was already evil even before being powered up by the Element of Magic. they try to paint her as though she were always good deep down inside and her alpha bitch phase being nothing more than her having a bad day. if anything, she was more of a proto-Cozy Glow prior to her friendship mind-rape.
well, anyone?
 
@Dustcan  
So…give the Enragement Child the crown?
Latecomer

@Twi Clown  
Hmm…
 
 
Why did they had to make the crown earned by a simply prom night queen event?
Do you mean the writers? Because I’m led to understand such titles are fairly common in American-style high schools.
 
How the hell can a girl with no records, no transference papers, zero connections with the students and a clear ignorance about the next school fest to wander around and not even taking classes?
The fact that she didn’t try taking classes probably helped, bet it does show rather low security - perhaps she was thought to be auditing the place? Is that a thing? Still, it was only three days…
 
How the hell people would support Sunset’s cyberbullyin? Wasn’t she so disliked? People that do that usually get scorn. Makes me think that the school and not just Sunset was somewhat rotten as well.
I suspect she was more subtle and outwardly friendly in her earlier years, while building up a list of all students weaknesses and possible blackmail material. (If she was openly rotten, I doubt Flash would have dated her for one thing.) What we see is her mask slipping, especially since as per her original plan, she never intended to do this Formal - it was only necessary because she lost the crown, remember?
 
Why the main characters didn’t confronted their friends when they failed to the dates? That would have give away the fact that someone messed with the phones. Seriously, without Twilight those five just can function.
I suspect more manipulation by Sunset - but they could just be a bit dumb. Teenagers, right?
 
Why Celestia never went throught the mirror or sent a guard for Sunset? Seriously Celestia, that’s messed up.
Celestia venturing through the mirror herself would have beeen massivly irresponsible, especially before Luna’s return. Now as for sending ponies - well I can only guess that until Sunset came back, they had no reason to assume she was in the vicinity of the mirror. They could still have sent a fact-finding misson, though…
 
And finally, do they have security in CHS? Because if a purple girl and her dog could sleep on the library then that place clearly have security issues.
Probably not after hours, no.

Lol yeah. It’s like one absolute option, with no negative drawbacks, that would be EASIER than trying to win the prom or whatever, and neither of them consider it XD

@Dustcan  
oh no, that’s be bad. D: but if I had to pick who gets the crown, I’d choose Cozy. at least she’s still evil. :O
 
 
@UserAccount  
I second this notion, only I think Legend of Everfree isn’t anywhere near as bad as the other three movies. but, yeah, EqG only stopped sucking recently.
 
 
@LightningBolt  
just cuz you hate it doesn’t mean most fans hated it as well. I think it’s about half and half (I am just making a conservative guess here).
 
geez, I hate it when some people speak on behalf of everyone else, like they know what everyone wants.

The ‘dumb, emotional teens’ aspect probably plays a big part. But to give them some credit and put a feather in Sunset’s cap, pay attention to what they emphasize and see they were attacked in their Elements. AJ’s Honesty was insulted, Dash’s Loyalty was questioned, Rarity’s Generosity was taken advantage of, etc.
 
Sunset hit them where it hurts and they reacted accordingly.

Why did she did that? They don’t have magic and it’s implied they really weren’t all that much of a menace to anything at all.
 
Dis she just did that to be a jerk? I don’t understand why do that, why separate them? What did she gain from it? Twilight wasn’t with them so there’s no purpose.

And again, why?
 
Plus, it doesn’t look like it, the movie just show them conviving with people they share interest, which is something people do both in fiction and real life since we exist.

@Twi Clown  
That’ss just it - most of Canterlot High seemed to be broken into cliques ,without many cross-group friendships. By isolating them like that, Sunset was able to play them against each other for… whatever her reasons were.

But that looked more like typical cliques between students. Plus, if Twilight could easily glue the school spirit so quickly, then maybe there wasn’t that much of a separation to begin with.

@Twi Clown  
Well after Sunset dropped her mask, many students probably guessed that she had messed with their friendships - they just needed a catalyst to overcome it. Really, anyone might have been able to win against her at that point - but no-one except Twilight was brave enough to try. (There may also have been carefully-sown grudges involved.)

Thread Starter - Artists you miss.

It’s a bit annoying to me that by the time the show ends, a lot of questions have to be chalked up to headcanon. This is typical for any series and encourages post-end creativity, but at the same time I feel it’s a double-edged sword in a way.
