They did these things with Starlight Glimmer (“Every Little Thing She Does” is a particularly obvious example of her having trouble adjusting), and the fandom’s response got ugly. Apparently if you don’t get being good right all the time on the first try, it’s proof you never really changed and never will.

I think that’s what the stuff with the CMC and Bulk Biceps during the credits was meant to imply. And she tried to reach out during the auditorium scene near the start of the movie, but got shut down, for what that’s worth.
As for saving the world… You’re focusing too much on the big picture. They were thinking “What would have happened to me if she hadn’t been here?” That’s what would have changed their minds, not some vague altruistic concern for the status of the planet or whatever, but the much more pressing issue of making sure their own asses get saved.
Sorry I can’t address everything else right now, but it’s 6 AM where I am and you’re a very prolific typer.

she does not struggle with being a good person
fight the temptation of going back to her old ways
experience mental and/or psychological meltdowns or dealing with repressed emotions

that’s the problem with the Equestria Girls films, barring Legend of Everfree: apart from all the unnecessary fan service (I call it fan disservice) and dependence on the very clichés other high school films/shows have played, they suffered from insufficient run time, which results in a dearth of proper screen time for its primary and secondary casts, which then results in sloppy plot and character execution. these movies should’ve been better off being a television series developed by an outside team. DHX shouldn’t have thrown away their time and resources just to make this crap – time they could’ve spent on developing Friendship Is Magic Seasons 4 thru 6 instead.saving the world is good, but what about making amends with the people she hurt? when do we get to see all that?
