Talk:Sunset Shimmer/@comment-26973802-20131102054150

Another reason why I'd like to think of her demon form as separate kinda like Nightmare Moon or Evil Buu (see my blog for details): Because I kinda don't want to think of Sunset Shimmer and Demon Sunset Shimmer as one and the same, because in terms of villains, they don't deserve to be because they're on the opposite sides of the villain scale.

Sunset Shimmer - Least evil main villain of the show. Even less evil than Nightmare Moon. She's more of a manipulative bully with power-hungry ambitions, only a step above Diamond Tiara, Gilda, and Trixie. She's apparently not so bad that Celestia wants her imprisoned or killed (asking if she was all right when Twilight returned), or that the Elements of Harmony would turn her to stone like Discord, who some would say is mischievous rather than evil. The only reason she's a main villain is because she's the antagonist of a movie. Also, she's a regular unicorn/human unlike the more elaborate Sombra. Lastly, some complained at how quickly she was redeemed. (And I explain that below in my previous comment, that the cruelty accumulated in her heart from her impatience was drawn out into the demon then removed)

Demon Sunset Shimmer - Arguably the most evil villain of the show seeing as how she directly tries to kill Twilight in a way that can't be debated (unlike actions of Nightmare Moon, Chrysalis, and Sombra). Her form looks as menacing as Chrysalis and Sombra, the battle with her is epic in contrast to the high school style of the film (don't get me wrong it was a good movie), and even the transformation itself, the way her tears evaporate, serve as an indicator of how dark she is in this form. Her demon form is the only reason people say she's the most evil villain in the show, and it's not even the true Sunset Shimmer; if it is the same Sunset Shimmer rather than a Nightmare Moon-esque manifestation, then she's corrupted by her magnified dark side.

When she's not a demon, she's the least interesting main villain in the show IMO. When she is a demon, she's as dark and menacing as Chrysalis and Sombra, and the fight with her is as epic.
