Dawn-Sunlight

This short was not the best.  Coming off of Game Stream, this short is underwhelming and it doesn't help that we have already had a funny Applejack/Rarity short and a funny Sunset/Fluttershy short.  At least it was interesting to hear what the pets had to say, but I wouldn't watch this short again.

Smolder is my second favorite character, I'm glad she got to have attention this season, and I'm glad that both Yona and Sandbar got some much needed development.  I don't mind the school, to be honest, and 5 out of 6 of the Student 6 are on my personal Top 30 Best Characters list.

Best:

Her entire run as a villain, she was an outstanding villain.

When she stood up and sang along with the Rainbooms to defeat the Dazzlings and Ponied-Up for the first time

My Past is not Today

When she became Daydream Shimmer and helped Sci-Twi escape Midnight Sparkle

Her entire role in Legend of Everfree, she was the best part of that movie

Her reunion with Princess Celestia and the pony scenes immediately after that

When she made the display for Rarity

When she directed the play

When Sunset was helping Sci-Twi decode the text Timber Spruce sent Sci-Twi

Literally any time she uses sarcasm, she is hilarious

Whenever she's adorable

When she threw the ring behind her and it landed on the cup

When she went out to go look for Rainbow Dash with Sci-Twi

Let it Rain

Game Stream

When she ditched Pinkie to go see the Post-Crush concert by herself

When she was interacting with the Dazzlings

When she was saying the thing Sci-Twi was saying at the same time as her

The fight/chase scene with the Time Looper artifact and when Sunset smashed it under her foot

Cheer You On

And the absolute best moment is. . .

Sunset jumping in front of the beam from the Memory Stone to save her friends' memories.

Worst:

When Sunset was obsessed with winning the rigged booth game, and that's about it for worst moments

If Sunset wielded the Elements of Harmony. . .

And if Sunset became a princess.

I have always liked the idea of Sunset meeting her human counterpart, and I think that would have been a good way to end EQG, by having Sunset meet her human counterpart, we'd have a tearful good-bye and Sunset would go back to Equestria, we'd meet her family, and then something would happen that would prove to Celestia that Sunset is ready for becoming an alicorn.  The problem is that there's a lot I want to see, but to execute it well would take a lot of work, and time that I don't think Hasbro and DHX has.  I seriously can't believe that Hasbro just cancelled EQG like that.  The three main things I would have liked to see would have been her becoming an alicorn, meeting her family and maybe any past friends or peers, and Sunset meeting her human counterpart.

All right, just finished the trivia, really hope I didn't fail best pony/human.

Also, this was hilarious, and something I can relate to because while video games can be fun, they can also feel like "Hey, I didn't go over there, I went over here."  Also, Sunset Shimmer is best human/pony.

Did anyone also notice that Sunset's footwear is different than in Friendship Games and the 2017 specials?

Her jackets keep changing as well.

1. Hm, I wouldn't say those shoes are entirely new. 

2. We can add a new main outfit to that!

Another one of the exceptions!  This short was funny and shows Rarity at very funny.  Don't really have much to say about this one.

Gee, thanks Hasbro for taking this short's content and making it non-existent.  Also, I agree that the leak was WAY better, and what's weird is that the other leaked shorts are all very similar to the actual thing.  Also, why do we need a short about Trixie about to cut a puppy in half for no reason other than magic?  The beginning of the leaked short helped set that part up, but when it's taken away, the short suffers.

Boring.  So very very boring.  This is a prime example of why I don't like the YouTube shorts inside YouTube shorts shorts.  When you make Pinkie Pie not funny, in my opinion you fail at the concept of Pinkie, unless it is a tone-required moment, which this was not.

This is one of the exceptions I was talking about in "Re-boxing w/Spike", it was hilarious and even though it lost it's spot as best Season 2 EQG short to "Run To Break Free", it's still, oh shoot, I lost count of the strokes of the buffer while I was typing this out.  Well, I gotta go cut down a new tree. 

I'm going to be Miss Unpopular Opinion again and say that I do not like these YouTube shorts inside YouTube shorts with a few exceptions, because most of them are pretty boring.  I'm so sorry Spike, you got cheated on your first solo short and your first appearance doing something in a song.  You deserve better.  Like "Lost and Pound".  Or "The Road Less Scheduled".

AWWWWW!  Thank you Hasbro, this is the kind of thing Spike needs more off, and he needs less "Re-boxing w/Spike" or "getting no speaking roles in EQG because he has faded into irrelevancy".  I love this short just for the Spike ending and how it makes Su-Z even more lovable.  Also how cute the dog is.  (Can't remember her name. )

YES!!!!  This is how Pinkie Pie should be!  Fun, enjoyable, funny, having her own little habits, the line going around the tree was just the best.

I actually screamed at the TV when watching Vignette's ending because A. I really do not like her, and B. She didn't even really help!

I loved this one, this is how Spike should be handled, I'm glad that between this short and "Lost and Pound" Spike is finally getting some love.  Oh yeah, also this is continuing the trend in EQG shorts of actually making Sci-Twi likable for me.

Surprise, Surprise, I'd want to be Sunset Shimmer.  Funnily enough I have actually already been her before in my dreams.  Twice, because I had 2 dreams like that.  And yes, I was Sunset Shimmer, and not Dawn Sunlight, which is me in the EQG and MLP worlds, which was who I was in all my other EQG dreams.

Certainly!

Definitely, I would hang out with you.

Hugs for @DivineSoul1000, @Emerald<3, @ChB, @TheRockARooster, @HeavenSunset, @Bas, @Tacodidra, @Splashee, and @Cash In!

Where is this sign that is being referred to in question 7?

@Ganondorf8: I think Sunset not only has more magic, but more control over her magic than her friends.  Here is my proof.

What does this mean?  Well, it means that Sunset Shimmer is not only Best Pony, but also BEST HUMAN!
