>this dumb glim vs shim comparison again
Sunset feels like a beta test compared to Starlight, Glim fixes many of Shim's issues.

>Is a bad pony just because, no explanation why. Her villainy wasn't even interesting at all, just generic highschool bully turned into generic take over the world villain.
>Extremely lazy reformation on the level of Luna.
>Redemption in the next movie feels hollow without knowing her motivations and insecurities, not only that, she is a completely different character from the previous movie. You can replace her mind controlling students to be cannon fodder with her smearing her shit all over the bathrooms and nothing would change about her redemption.
>Butchers the lore of the elements and is forced to be part of the m7, becomes the face of her show.
>Is super talented at everything for no reason at all.
>No further character arcs after redemption, no proper ending either.

Glimmer is a major improvement in every way.
>Best villain in the series by utilizing one of the core themes of the show.
>Actually has a backstory that explains how her idea of friendship became corrupted through the blaming of cutie marks. Her motivations and insecurities are crucial contexts to her following reformation and redemption arcs.
>Isn't defeated by brute force. Twilight shows major growth by finally using the principles of friendship to make friends with her enemy.
>No instant reformation, actually has to work hard fighting against her instincts and learning about friendship to better herself. s6 explores several aspects of her anxieties and receives a ton of character development.
>No instant redemption the next episode either. Her redemption only comes after all her struggles throughout s6 at the finale. The best part is how she does it, not through brute force, but by relating to Chrysalis with her past misdeeds and showing what real leadership means. This thematic growth that ties in with her past is completely missing in Sunset's.
>Her reformation is finally completed when Twilight graduates her, after learning many lessons, improving herself, and as well as saving Equestria.
>Isn't blatantly forced into the m6, gets her own circle of friends to explore new friendship concepts that are inapplicable to the m6 dynamic.
>Has real character flaws like her impulsiveness and isn't super talented at everything.
>Is able to remind and support her teacher, Twilight, about everything she learned showing just how far Glim has come as a student of friendship. Guidance counselor is a fitting role with her ability to empathize with others.
>Becoming headmare of the school of friendship is the perfect ending as her entire character arc spanning five seasons comes full circle. She started as a leader of a cult to spread her misguided ideas on friendship, then ends as a leader of a school teaching students the true values of friendship.
The difference is pretty crazy. Starlight has so much love put into the development of her character.
