Nice idea, poor execution. Sunset Shimmer, as a villain, had tons of potential to be great. The whole idea had potential to be great. (Check out the annual comic.) The romance was horrible. Twilight Sparkle is a nicely developed, intelligent character, who turned into a blushing stereotypical teenage girl. And do I even need to say it? Flash Sentry. No. The ending, in essence, was pretty bad, however, I've seen some fan theories that justify it. It was entertaining, to an extent, but still not something I can actually enjoy.
