Shimmy has her limits.

Wll…as if problems caused by some misused magic wasnt bad enough and being tired of constantly loosing wasnt bad enuogh, the coup de grace was the feeling of “Oh not trapped in an alternate dimention but just a boring room and could ahd easily solved it”….honestly, if i was feeling like i was made a fool enough times, i would feel like raging.

She is just gettting comfortable as a pastel human now. XD

She has come into her own

@Background Pony #8463  
Absolutely agreed. There was a whole subtheme of “Sunset is holding herself back and it’s not good for anyone” in Rainbow Rocks, after all!

@Ihhh  
Fair enough.

@Darth Sonic  
YEs, but this show is not board driven. I highly doubt that have that much creative input.

@Ihhh  
Didn’t actually know that.
 
But aren’t they at least involved with storyboards?

@Darth Sonic  
Neither DHX nor Boulder Media have any involvement in the writing process. All writing is done in america at hasbro studios. I know that wasn’t your main point, but it really pisses me off when people continue to make this mistake.

@Background Pony #8463
 
@Ihhh  
Headcanon or not, it’s likely the answer DHX/Boulder would give if asked (or alternatively if they ever decide to address it on screen).
 
Of course, the real answer is that they effectively replaced Shimmer’s old personality in Rainbow Rocks, and are now trying to course correct and (somewhat clumsily) create a bridge between EQG 1 Shimmer and Post-EQG 1 Shimmer.

@Background Pony #8463  
That is your headcanon.

…Seriously, people? The obvious answer is that the first couple of movies she was trying to make sure her friends stayed her friends. She actively held her normal personality back to make her more likable to the girls - Rainbow Rocks being the worst of it. Over time they have shown to like her regardless and so she let down her guard. Now she isn’t afraid to show her negative traits because she knows that as long as she doesn’t just become those negative traits and apologizes when she hurts someone, they won’t abandon her.

You also left out EG 1

I think enough people have pointed out how unbelievably stupid this is

Personally i prefer the new sunset the fact that she gets angry easily shows that she hasn’t completely overcome the darkness within her which makes her much more interesting.

She is always cute.  
Especially when she is angry.

Then: “I heard this is where all pure kids hangout.”
 
Now: “THIS WEATHERMAN IS PREDICTING A 99% CHANCE OF $#!%STORM AND IT’S COMING RIGHT AT YOU!”

From innocent to crazy in ten seconds flat.

@Spike_Lover  

I don’t know about you, but she’s cute when she’s angry.

@Background Pony #1A4C  
Sunset didn’t because a completely different person at the drop of a hat

@Background Pony #1A4C  
She is not a bully anymore but she still is temperamental.  
It makes her even more sympathetic.

whatever happened to “My Past is not Today.” ?

She got characterized a little more. What’s the problem exactly?
