Um, yeah, I said I didn’t think Trixie was evil; I just see the end of “Magic Duel” as showing her progressing from being a self-centered jerk to being less of a self-centered jerk, rather than converting instantly to a decent, caring pony. If she makes another appearance, I guess we’ll see if that’s right or not.
 
@PonyPon  
Was it a case of having “remorse lasered into” Sunset Shimmer, or was it more like having resentment and jealousy blasted away, similar to Nightmare Moon/Luna?

I’m pretty sure her boast at the end was her joking around. She had no reason to pull off the fireworks show or ask Twilight for forgiveness, she could have just legged it before then.

Trixie was a self-centered, arrogant jerk before being corrupted, and after apologizing bragged about her humility. Not that I think she’s evil or that she’s not making progress, but I’d say there’s room to wonder just how reformed Trixie is.

Wait, people think Sunset Shimmer’s putting on an act, but they swallow Trixie’s heel face turn uncritically?

Really, I’m just asking for her redemption arc to be a little more fleshed out. I’m not saying go all Zuko on her, but at least make the turn convincing. People are thinking she’s just putting on an act for Christ’s sake!

I did see it.
 
And like my theory implies, when you’ve acted like a bitch towards people for years, they tend be a lot less likely to accept you.
 
Magic of friendship or not, the mane 5 know how horrible shimmer was a lot better than Twilight; they had first hand experience. They’re only human, so them keeping a grudge doesn’t seem too far out of question.
 
…Alternatively, the mane 5 were the only people willing to even give shimmer the time of day, but her desire for acceptance from everyone told her that five people simply wasn’t worth the scornful looks she got from the rest of the student body plus the faculty.

I thought up of two scenarios:
 
  1. “Why am I not a good guy? Simple, I LIED!
     
  2. One a bit more complex:
     
    “That blast of pure friendship you hurtled at me? It actually worked.
     
    All I ever wanted before that was power and didn’t care who I stepped on to get it.
     
    I left Celestia because I was too impatient to get that power and I paid the price by being stuck two and a half years in another dimension.
     
    I tried to take over Equestria with an army of teenage meatshields only to get blasted by friendship.
     
    And in those moments when I was being swallowed by purple light, my entire worldview changed.
     
    I realized how lonely I was. I realized how horrible I was to everyone I’ve ever known.
     
    So for two long years I labored to atone for my sins. I tried to make things right and strived to undo the damage I did.
     
     
    …But no matter what I did, no matter what I tried, no matter how much I sacrificed for these cretins, none of them realized I had changed.
     
    Most of them refused to even look me in the eye because all they saw was that monster…
     
    …that demon from two years ago.
     
    So eventually I gave up.
     
    I tried.
     
    I tried making friends.
     
    I tried being nice.
     
    But nothing worked.
     
    Well listen up you worthless sacks of flesh:
     
    You want a demon?
     
    I’LL GIVE YOU A DEMON!

“Sunset reading the script for the sequel”
 
Sunset: WTF?! I thought I got redeemed at the end of the last film!
 
DHX: Yeah, we changed our minds, sorry.
 
Sunset: SPARKLE!!!!!!
