Why purple? Well, some places online mention that “the color purple is often associated with royalty, nobility, luxury, power, and ambition.” Plus, keep in mind how her wardrobe begins to build in purple coloration in the 2nd and 3rd pictures, from the more ‘pure’ white dress in the first. Then, as the photos go on over the next few years, she seems to get cockier, until the last where she seems almost power-mad. The first image shows Sunset looking rather innocent in a white dress, with a shocked look on her face. Though a prime example, is the trio of pictures of the Fall Formal Princess in Principal Celestia’s office. She mentions how they were “very popular during freshman year.” It’s a given that Sunset Shimmer would also have gone through this “awkward” phase.Īnother example, is when Rarity shows the ears and tail accessories she made to the girls later on. Twilight herself had some trouble adapting to her new form in this world. However, I think there’s enough evidence to show this wasn’t the case. It seems many assume Sunset Shimmer came through the portal from Equestria, and immediately separated the school. Plus, there are those who wonder why Sunset doesn’t just steal the real crown back, but if one considers her to be an all-knowing genius, she figures that she’ll get it eventually, given her thinking that Twilight is too new to this world to understand ‘how it all works.’ One video analogy online mentioned how Sunset would apologize in some cases for what she is doing, but it almost sounds like she’s just saying, “sorry you’re in my way, but I deserve this more than you do.” One could definitely see this thinking related to Sunset, and how she demeans those around her. Sheldon on several occasions, has been of the persuasion that his intelligence and projects in some areas, are worthy of being considered above those he feels are not worthy of such attention. Word is Steve Jobs had that mentality, and for those who watch The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper is a character in this same boat. We’ve heard of them: the kind that are on a mental level that makes them feel like the world around them is going too slow for them, or is unable to understand just how smart they are. Some have pointed out that Sunset definitely has a way for making others feel inferior to her, and that made me consider this: what if Sunset is not so much a “mean girl,” but one of those “super-genius” students? To me, that exists in an outside story realm that is not really related to the TV/movie continuity.*įrom her attitude and looks, many firstly assume that Sunset Shimmer is the equivalent of the “mean girl” in high school (and that’s me being polite for this dissection).īut, if she was once Celestia’s star student, one has to figure she was chosen because she had a studious way about her. *Keep in mind that this dissection does not take into account the story from the My Little Pony Comics Annual from 2013. I decided to outline them in this posting below. On a first-impression basis regarding Sunset, it’s very easy to just say she’s the typical “high school mean girl,” but I feel there might have been something more to her than the way the film simplified her. Returning through the portal in the film, she makes off with Twilight Sparkle’s crown, which leads Twilight to go after her. However, when she didn’t get what she wanted fast enough, she eventually left through a special mirror in the Celestia’s castle. Sunset’s background information was kept to a minimum in regards to the film, but one key fact was that she was Princess Celestia’s star pupil before Twilight Sparkle. Of course, the Friendship is Magic fandom had those who ran around screaming that that ‘the end is neigh,’ but the movie did very little to put a dent in people’s love of the series.Īlong with adding an alternate universe to the mix, the film introduced a new character to the mythology of the show: Sunset Shimmer. Last year’s release of My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, was one of the first signs of Hasbro trying to spin off their uber-successful television series/toy line into other realms where they might be able to profit from.
