    Then what about the magic stuff? Where and how would the Rainbooms gain magic and magic threats without any portal to the pony world, let alone the villains gaining magic artifacts? And how would Sunset and Sci-Twi's dynamic go if you're gonna remove the pony world connection, meaning Sunset has less reason to resent and be jealous of Sci-Twi (who would replace Pony Twilight in the first movie) if pony world isn't there?

    What would Sunset's motivation and villain plans be if the pony world isn't there?

    And there's also the Dazzlings, they're also from Equestria so they also have ties to the pony world.

    There could be unknown magic from the magic macguffin, which is just a reasonable as some connection to another universe. Something something friendship. Sunset can hate Sci Twi because Sci Twi is sweet and smart. There are plenty of people who hate other people for less than that. Her motivation would be power, just like a lot of villains. Perhaps she was corrupted by some evil magic.

    My whole point is, the Pony connection was just an excuse, but the EG universe easily became its own thing. In fact, I think the pony connection detracts from EG. It's like, "oh yeah, I forgot that ponies exist in some other universe for some reason."

    Then what would become of the Sunset Shimmer redemption story arc of mean bully to empathetic hero? We kinda to need some ties to the pony world for Sunset since her fallout with Celestia and being her former student is crucial to her story.

    I don't think so. I quickly forget about that part of her story. She could just be a bully. Or make her a former special student of Principal Celestia.
