Favorite Villainous character progression
Over the years of MLPFIM we have seen many a villain enter and disappear without a word, yet there are others that we have seen stick around for better or for worse. Today I would like to discuss what has been my favorite, and y'alls favorite, villainous character progression.
Out of all of the villains I like to think that Sunset Shimmer's character progression and redemption has felt the most natural of the series. Granted I mostly chalk this up to two things: 1) She has to EARN the forgiveness of Canterlot High and is not instantly forgiven once she is hit with the Elements of Harmony/Friendship Kamehameha, and 2) Her empathetic nature, and fiery temper, allows her to continue being an interesting character that can continue to grow over time in the Equestria Girls movies and specials, of which there have been quite a few now. Sunset Shimmer started off as a power hungry student of Princess Celestia who chastised her for investigating the Magic Mirror, in a now non-canon comic I think. Sunset Shimmer wanted to be equal and help rule Equestria with the mare she idolized and so she in her rage at Celestia's refusal fled through the portal where she has ruled Canterlot High for three years. Enter the first movies and the start of her character progression. Starlight . . .is complicated. They tried to Sunset without giving the time Sunset had for her redemption. And don't get me wrong I love her character redeemed and without, her actions in the Road of Friendship episode show that she still has a LOT to learn about friendship and not being a control freak, her quick redemption has left many soured on the character. This is a bit of a weird one but from the comics. . .King Sombra. This Mad Tyrant has had all but zero flushing out in the show proper but in the comics has had several arcs based to his character, both of which are VERY VERY good and I highly recommend y'all seek them out if you find the time.
