She sure did!

Thankfully for Sunset Shimmer, EG isn't a heavy-handed anime... I can't even fathom the endless suffering she'd endure if it was!

Oh, that's very true! And so is everybody else gathered around that hole... That's quite a heartwarming scene, actually. Thanks for pointing this out, I had forgotten about it! I don't know how to explain that rather dramatic change of mood in Rainbow Rock, then (other than the staff not having planned that kind of sequel when they made the first EG movie – I'm afraid that might be the real answer here).

If I had to bring an "in-universe" explanation, I would propose that a string of unfortunate events involving Sunset Shimmer would have stirred suspicion among the students and that suspicion slowly grew into the previoulsy mentioned blind mob hate during the interval between the two movies (a valuable item broke in her hands, the alarm went off when she was standing next to it, she was overheard talking about demons *gasp*... little things that could mistakenly make her come off as malicious). I'm drifting into fan-fiction territory here, though...
