Sunset offsets Twilight and forgets about friendship

Despite people thinking Sunset did the right think yelling at Twilight that's actually what caused the problem. Twilight has no friends her classmates treat her like crap and her principal is blackmailing her. Just when Twilight was warming up to the mane five thanks to their understanding of friendship (not sure why people think Sunset is the leader when she knows less than the mane five on friendship), Sunset sends her running away from her outburst when she could have gotten the pendant put away.

 

Sunset does redeem herself at the end but only because she realizes what she did wrong and now she knows what friendship is. If you all been listened to Twilight song she says she must walk on her own. There is a mirror stance on that with Sunset that she feels she has to figure out magic on her own. They were still both lonely and were outcasts in their school so they felt similar.

 

This could be why they had similar forms and they were both the geniuses of their own schools Sunset being more prom queen kind of progeny in hers.

This is where I'd have to disagree and I'll try my best to not be biased in my explanation why.

 

You say Sunset forgot about friendship when she went nuts on Twilight, but that is a wrong interpretation in my opinion because Sunset went nuts from built frustration and a sense of protection. She just witnessed magic get drained from her friends and the connection to the portal was snatched away from the very device Twilight created in the first place despite it not being intentional on her part.

 

Even Leaders can't always have a handle on situations and because of that, they will have moments. There is no such thing as perfect. I mean...take Twilight for example.in RainbowRocks.

 

Throughout the movie she was struggling to find the solution to their problem. The mane 5 were literally falling apart in front of her, but she failed to even notice because she was too busy trying to do things herself which is a lesson she already learned (always accept help bla blah bla) But that didn't mean she forgot friendship...in fact it was SUNSET who ultimately became the wise man and saved the mane six from being defeated.

 

In FG, Sunset was a bit insecure in her own abilities to understand friendship magic, unaware she is the key component and that the answer was in front of her all along. It was basically the same thing that happened to Twilight but I see no one pointing out Twilight faults at all.

 

Sunset COULD'VE handled it better when she yelled at Twilight, but again, no one is perfect. Her reaction was realistic by all means. She didn't forget friendship....she simply lost her cool and regretted it. At the end of the movie, she only recited what she already knew except this time around, she discovered that now, they will pony up whenever they show their element and not just play music.

 

And I would say Sunset is leader....just because she's new at all of this, doesn't mean she does not havethe natural ability to lead. In the series, Twilight immediately took the leadership role and she knew less about friendship than anyone remember? Twilight had a few breakdowns when stressed just like Sunset did. I think people miss that Sunset and Twilight are.more alike than people recognize. They do have two different strong personalities but their development is similar nonetheless

Sunset is flawed. I think that was the point, that, and she was probably venting her frustration that she wasn't able to figure things out herself, and was yelling at Twilight for the same reasons she's angry at herself, or at least that's the common understanding by fans.

Yepyep. Without flaws, characters are boring and.undeveloped in my opinion. Haha....like I love how Rarity is the element of generosity but sometimes her vanity get the best of her. And Rainbowdash is loyal, but in RR we saw little of that xD. But it makes for good storylines
