Equestria Girls - Valentines Day

This forum is for discussing Chuck's videos as they are publicly released. And for bashing Neelix, but that's just repeating what I already said.

I hate that kind of dismissive thinking, kid shows can handle this better. why is Sunset the only character in this or any other part of the franchise who actually has to earn redemption in the next movie?
My point wasn't about being forgiven, but rather about her quick change of heart. At the end of the movie it was clear that she had to clean up her mess, and that she was "in good hands."

I put it down to the convention of MLP:FiM. It's the same reason the police didn't show up during the final battle. It's the same reason that the Joker can get caught and escape again and again in Batman: TAS. Some details are eliminated to make for a more entertaining story.
then, what was the point of showing Rainbow Dash punished in "Newbie Dash" or the Cutie Mark Crusaders being punished in "Appleosa's Most Wanted"? if the show wants to tell stories about unconditional friendship and forgiveness, can it at least be consistent?
Again,my complaint wasn't about forgiveness or punishment, or the lack thereof. It was about change of heart.
my complaint is about hindsight, how come they saw fit to fix the quick change with Sunset but non of the other reformed antagonists in this branch of the franchise or the parent series?

I think everyone knows this is an issue for you. :) But that isn't what I was talking about.

And, I honestly mean no offense, but I'm not interested in discussing different standards of redemption with you again. I believe you've said that for you, that requires prison time for at least one character. You and I will just disagree about that.

That Flash joke is one of my favourite SFDebris jokes.

Because Equestria high school isn't in a world where magic can fix most of your problems with ease.

don't see how it is different since the main series shows punishments but is wishy washy about it.

Hey how is Celestria Alive if she was born the same time as her Equestria counterpart shouldn't she have died centuries ago or is the principal the great great granddaughter of princess Celestria human counterpart?
