So how should they have gone about characterizing Sci-Twi and her story arc throughout Friendship Games and Legend of Everfree? There does need to be some way of distinguishing her from her pony counterpart. Otherwise, what would be the point of Sci-Twi existing if she's gonna be 100% the same as her pony counterpart that was major in the first two films? Plus in having to avoid the implication on whether or not Sunset and the Humane 5 only like her because she's exactly like the pony counterpart (which they spend the first two movies bonding with) and only accepted her because she's a replacement and nothing more, plus if they'd still be friends with her even if they didn't meet her pony counterpart first.

How would you have done Diamond Tiara's arc better then?

So if you were given a chance, how would you have characterized Sunset post-Friendship Games? Like, how would you have gone about still making her fun to watch, keeping her interests more relevant, and giving her flaws in a way that doesn't cause one to question why the Rainbooms are still friends with her? Plus in writing her friendship with Sci-Twi, considering it's a pretty important friendship in the spin off (Sci-Twi arguably being Sunset's best and closest friend). How do you think Sunset and Sci-Twi's friendship could've been better written in Legend of Everfree that brought out the best in both of them? Plus, are there any reformed characters either on MLP or other shows that genuinely were still fun to watch and having solid characterization post-redemption arc?

Yeah, but what if they went with the mother/son dynamic instead? Given it took until season 9 for the sibling thing to be mentioned and been then, it was only 1 episode, what if they went with mother/son instead? By that logic, what makes Amending Fences work better in putting Twilight in a similar scenario of making amends with someone she hurt in the past (Moondancer like how Sunset had with Wallflower)? Considering she basically proved herself already for 4 seasons by that point, what made Amending Fences more meaningful to Twilight than Forgotten Friendship is to Sunset? And how is it that far fetched that someone still has a grudge against Sunset? It's not as if Rainbow Rocks shows every single student interacting one on one with Sunset outside the Rainbooms. Like, it is more complicated than just mob mentality of everyone forgiving Sunset at the same time. What moments in Rainbow Rocks and other stuff show Sunset making it up to people she bullied in the past one on one (saving the school from the Dazzlings leans more on mob mentality of a crowd forgiving her at the same time rather than any specific one on one moments)?
