And her personality works for both, too! I’m really looking forward to seeing what she’s like as a good person who is still Sunset Shimmer. Being a writer on Rainbow Rocks must be a fascinating challenge…

It’s amazing how a facefull of weaponized friendship brings out the best in people.

It’s almost as if I’ve completely forgot about her old bad self.

More like giving Twilight more screentime just to sell her toys.

“reformed”

I’ll say Sunset Shimmer definitely qualifies for the TV Trope “When She Smiles”. Oh? Someone’s already added that tag? Well, that just means I’m not alone in thinking it.
 
This is what reformation can do to a girl. She was cute before, now she’s beautiful.
 
@Liggliluff  
I know, right? My dislike of Twilight aside, her presence at this point will only serve to suck necessary screentime and character development away from Sunny, who needs & deserves it far more than the Purple One.
 
@Desertderp  
To be fair, she did earn that hate, considering all the crap she pulled over three years.

Like I said elsewhere, SS looks so different without her perpetual scowl.

I just wanna hug her! She’s been through so much what with almost all of the high school hating her.

I forgive her since the first movie, and now look how cuter she is

intersting thought here. the villains are equestrian yet were not banished there by celestia…….. either someone stole celestia’s mirror at some point, or there is another portal to their world.

If only the new Mane 6 in Equestria Girls 2 had Sunset Shimmer instead of Twilight Sparkle.
 
The mirror was sensitive and not a toy. Twilight shouldn’t use it just to play music with the other ones. And I would love to see an extended chemistry between those five and Sunset Shimmer.

even evil sunny is cute

weird how easily her design works both for villain and a good character.

Reformed.

She got like twice as cute.
