But if the lesson is forgiveness, then why didn't Sunset go back to Equestria and ask Princess Celestia for it? This may not be "Sleepless in Ponyville", but I'm pretty sure that the path to forgiveness still involves facing your fears. And according to you and the other guys above, Celestia's up there at the top! Therefore, it just makes Sunset look like a coward for refusing to make up for something she did a few years back. Self-realization or not, that's a terrible note to end with a newly reformed villain with as much potential as Sunset Shimmer.

Seriously, I could write a thesis paper about how god-awfully ridiculous the idea of Sunset Shimmer staying in the human world under the given circumstances really is. All the reasons and excuses in the world can't make up for writing that rushed and sloppy. I mean, the fact that Sunset turns good at the end didn't even get any pay-off at all! She's just shrugged off before even a minute passes! Would it have been too much for Meghan McCarthey to add five minutes' worth of screentime to show Sunset Shimmer trying to adjust to being good, or actually explain why she remained in the human world? I shouldn't have to go to the fanbase to get answers out of a movie!

If Sunset Shimmer was promised to return in a later episode, I'd be fine with her staying in the human world, since we'd be seeing her again, anyway. But no! Ms. McCarthey apparently loves playing keep-away when it comes to any awesome characters that aren't already vital to the series. Seriously, Meghan: Give someone else a chance to utilize your characters before you toss them aside!
