Episode 1: Sunset or Sci Twi?? Wait, Starlight Glimmer?

In My little Pony were introduced to the character Sunset Shimmer in the first movie of the franchise in 2013. Then introduced to Twilights movie version Sci Twi. Both were villains, and both were forgiven by the main 6, but why? Why were they forgiven so quickly, what sparked their villainy and who's better. Personally (and you can argue with a wall) I have a bias with Sci Twi, she wasn't much a villain but rather wanted understand the magic Sunset brought to their world. And what upsets me is that Sunset had the full audacity with that bent wig to yell at Twilight for messing up the second to last part of the friendship games for the magic trapped in her necklace saying "You shouldn't be messing around with things you don't understand." Are we for real? GIRL she wouldn't be wanting to understand it if you weren't an impatient and petty student under Celestia stealing OG Twilights crown and dipping brining that magic to your own world. She barely fully understood the magic of that crown, asking Twilight in the first movie "Pop quiz, what happens when you bring something from equestria to an alternate world." Not even knowing the answer herself acting SO shocked when she turned into a dang demon for putting that crown on her head! So that is very hypocritical but like all movies go she's forgiven. Then continually believes that anything under the sun is equestrian magic which is somewhat valid buttttt. Then on to Sci Twi, I don't like her but I tolerate her more than Sunset what's her name. Sci Twi is basically Twilight if she stayed in Canterlot and didn't learn friendship. I find her a little annoying because messing around with random magic, seeing how it effects people being able to SEE each of the main six basically getting drained right in front of her, she doesn't even stop. I believe the first effected was Rarity and after that she literally could've sat back and said "Hm, I just drained the life outta somebody, MAYBE I should stop." But she didn't because she's dumb. Her wanting to go to the independent study program made her use all that magic turning into a monster but yet again getting forgiven. Now I'm not saying the main 6 are angels because after Sunset was forgiven in Rainbow Rocks they IGNORED her like the plague, didn't even offer her a spot in the band (while twilight got in without an audition or goof singing) and without fail would bring up her turning into a monster like every five seconds, mostly coming from Rarity. Doing a little bit of the same with Sci twi in the last movie Everfree. But now on this topic, a pony who suffered a similar fate was Starlight Glimmer. Now her story is WAY more compact so buckle up. We meet her in the first episode of season five with that pony tail bangs combo, a "magic" stick and a dream. Having an entire village of sheep (ponies) who willingly gave up their cutie marks and personalities for equal signs unaware for who knows how long that she still had her cutie mark. Now let me TELL you something, if the writers had kept starlight a villain God forbid, and she joined the 3 in season 8 or 9 Cozy glow, Teryek and Chrysalis to basically run Equestria into the ground the main six would've gotten CLAPPED and equestria heck the entire world would've been wiped off the dang map. She is a very VERY powerful unicorn who not only whipped an entire village, whipped the main six into giving their cutie marks as well, went BACK IN TIME with Starswirls I believe unfinished spell just to stop the meeting of the main six and mess with twilight only being defeated by Twilight showing her the future of her actions, and just kept clapping ponies with nothing but scraps. I'll be real I don't appreciate what she did, but she is a really powerful pony. And all because Sunburst got a cutie mark and left. They could've given her such a better backstory if they were going to make her this petty and vengeful. It truly doesn't add up. The difference between her and Sci Twi is that after Twi is forgiven she's petrified to use magic again and doesn't do much wrong. While after Starlight was "defeated" in the second episode of season 5, if you look VERY close in following episodes she is seen literally spying on them in bushes or at tables the shows up at Twilights friendship talk and DISAPPERS only to REAPPER in her castle with Starstwirls scroll making Twilight watch her go back in time to stop the rainboom!?!? That was insane to me, but after that gets officially forgiven but does she stop using magic? Course not, in fact when Twilight asks her to spend time with the main 6 she half-butts it and basically mind controls them to doing the friendship lessons without her because she doesn't know how. Becomes friends with Trixie which wasn't that bad but based on what they both did messing around with twilight it was right for her to be skeptical and she was mostly right, because while they were "on the road to friendship" season 6 or 7 Trixie goes on a travelling show to Saddle Arabiea for magic and Starlight had the AUDACITY to spend all her bits on some dry hay cakes noy having enough for a room so they have to stay in the wagon, snores so loud in said wagon, eats ALL the hay cakes that she bought with Trixies money and had the AUDACITY AGAIN to ask for juice which was the only thing Trixie had and SOLD said wagon to that one blue pony without Trixies permission and yet again, had the AUDACITY to be upset when Trixie was upset for basically selling her home?!?! But after seeing all that Twilight makes her the school therapist with her issues and poor time management skills?! Hm, anyway. But if she stayed a villain there would've literally been no equestria. Finally at some point she goes to the human world with Sunset for some reason and yeah, so Sci Twi, Sunset or Starlight. Talk with me, byeeeee.

For me, I definitely love Sunset Shimmer. But I have to say everything you wrote here is 100% real. Sunset was very hypocritical and forgiven too quickly, and her overall story wasn't written very well. I wish we could see more of her studies with princess celestia and why she left..
