My Little Pony: Equestria Girls
Season 2 Finale Thoughts
Nick Confalone - 10/15/17
The Mane 7 have come to expect that Equestrian magic will find them wherever they go from school halls to camp bonfires, cruise ships to amusement parks. Their friendship seems to be the sweet, lavender-infused honey that attracts the gnarliest of nefarious flies, buzzing with otherworldly enchantments. Like most heroes with geode superpowers, the girls have accepted their roles as always friends and often heroes, but the question remains: why does this keep happening? Many shows ignore this question completely to the detriment of their storytelling universe's reality—think: “Murder She Wrote's” Jessica Fletcher discovering hundreds of dead bodies, literally a new one everywhere she goes but we're going to address this question head-on... because the answer is an essential piece of Sunset Shimmer's ongoing redemption arc, harkening back to the genesis of the Equestria Girls franchise.
Ever since Sunset's turn at the end of that first movie, her friends have reassured her that her past is in the past what matters is the good she chooses to do in the PRESENT.
...But they're wrong.
Unbeknownst to Sunset Shimmer, the powerful ancient-Equestrian magic spell she cast to open the portal to another world in the first place created an imbalance that has not been resolved. Her arrival in the human world displaced an innocent character whom we've never yet seen, but whose absence can be felt every time Sunset appears on-screen. In this final special of season 2, we're going to reveal what happened to the human Sunset Shimmer.
Happy 5 year anniversary to the head writer of “Equestria Girls” sharing the pitch he wrote in 2017 in which we would finally meet the human Sunset Shimmer.
The fact this idea was on the table tells me that “Equestria Girls” was in good hands until the very end.
