I'm just saying, every single time a villain reforms people rage over it despite how popular that character becomes when we see more of them. Those still in the fandom November 2016 are sure to love Starlight even more than Sunset Shimmer now.

And let's take a look at the four main villains that didn't get reformed, and the reception to them:

Basically Sombra was dead and Chrysalis had a high chance of being dead and people said they survived. Yet Tirek and the Dazzlings officially survived, but people have come up with headcanons that they are dead. And of course people wanted Starlight dead before this episode began. Even Trixie before Magic Duel. I understand we're all entitled to our own opinions and you can legitimately be disappointed with their redemption if you want to, but this fandom is so hard to please now
 * Queen Chrysalis - Apparently fell to her death, yet people loved her too much to want to consider the possibility for her death, which led to, or at least must have been a factor in Hasbro's decision for, her return in the comics.
 * King Sombra - Destroyed up front, was pronounced dead, yet many were in either denial or disappointment over it despite hating him a great deal. (Likely this was also a factor of his revival in the comics)
 * Lord Tirek - Imprisoned in Tartarus. Though he is popular as a villain, people still resent him for destroying Twilight's library and literally putting the Princesses through hell so there's been theories that Cerberus ate him, or that the rainbow destroyed him like his G1 counterpart and that the Tartarus residents in cages are the dead ones (which I didn't dare to think until someone else said it first).
 * The Dazzlings - De-powered and ran away. They are the fan favorite villains of the series, yet people want them dead, and have come up with a theory of them aging into dust (which I hadn't even thought of yet, but taking Tangled, Heroes, and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen into consideration it is possible)
