actually, to be fair, I was ambivalent about Sunset around the time I read those blogs.
I wasn't really keen on EqG until I watched _Rainbow Rocks_ (the first I watched) -- by then, I had fallen in love with Sunset (and The Dazzlings). I watched the other two movies and all three specials -- I found her amazing for most of _Friendship Games_, but I was bothered by how big of an asshole she was towards Sci-Twi, but I let that slide by; in _Legend of Everfree_, I thought she was the was the best character in the _Friendship Is Magic_ universe and the one thing that no other being was: a goddess; I didn't really see anything special about “Dance Magic” or “Movie Magic”, but seeing her becoming friends with Starlight (another character I love) “Mirror Magic” was the selling point of those specials for me... I couldn't stop thinking about them being together! (you wanna know what killed the third special for me? Juniper Montage! >:U) and then I watched _Equestria Girls_ (the first movie) so I could know how she came to be and better understand her backstory, as I only heard about how bad it was before... so I watched it to see if the fans were in the right about it. once I did, *_+I was fucking devastated!+_* the first movie wasn't as bad as fans said it was -- *_it was far much worse than they claimed!_* the whole story and premise was ludicrous, asinine, and stupid... but Sunset -- as the unrepentant, sadistic Alpha Bitch she was presented as -- tore my heart apart! I was hoping for some flashbacks showing how she turned out that way and some scenes that would portray her more sympathetically, but there was none of that. she wasn't the tragic, comprehensible villainess I was expecting, no; she was a goddamned high school stereotype -- her personality is just as fast as Flash's, for crying out loud! she doesn't even come off as likable as any of the other FIM villains. when it came to her reformation, *I was petrified -- _I practically half-died on the inside!_ +FUCK!+* I did not think that the writers would actually have her brainwashed! no no no no no no!! that is not how reformations work! you don't have the good gals mind-wipe their foes just for the sake of having a reformed villain! if that was the case, then what would be of the development the villain would otherwise have? and once it was all over, I couldn't get myself to see Sunset the same way I once did.
and then I realized Sunset Shimmer is not the best pony I once thought she was; she's the worst character in the FIM universe. worse than Spoiled Rich, worse than Svengallop, worse than Suri Polomare, worse than Gilda, worse than Babs Seed, and just as bad as Juniper Montage. she is literally the worst aspect of EqG! I had to come to grips with reality and accept this ugly truth.
for a while, I've been lurking around on the Internet to see if there was anyone who felt the same way I did, and to my surprise, there were. turns out more fans feel that way than I had initially anticipated (though they're still the minority). I came across their blogs and forum threads and comments regarding Sunset... and they opened my mind. I did not become influenced by the posts, they only reinforced my thoughts... I started seeing things I hadn't seen before or that I wasn't paying attention to before. I'd like to post some of the links here so you can see for yourselves and know what I am talking about, but that's for another day.
*[==*sigh*==]* and now you know...
I'd like to love her as she is now, but the disasterbacle that is EqG 1 just really ruins her for me; it's impossible for me to accept her for who she is when I know how she came to be. maybe there should be a website dedicated to destroying every copy of EqG 1, as was the case for _Shaq Fu_.
