* The lowest point of the film; Twilight's absolutely ''lost'' and can't come up with a musical counterspell to defeat the Dazzlings, the Rainbooms are at each others' throats and only fueling the Dazzlings' power, and Sunset's stuck in the middle, all too aware that it's hit the fan, but still too scared to speak up. Had the Rainbooms failed to get out of the below part of the stage, [[TheBadGuyWins the Dazzlings would've won and spread negativity to the WHOLE of Canterlot High School.]]

A NearVillainVictory, for certain.

** Even ''Principal Celestia'' takes a passive-aggressive shot at her, saying that she hopes the Battle of the Bands will be "the most exciting event since the Fall Formal." This prompts another round of [[DeathGlare nasty looks]] Sunset's way, causing her to blush, slump down against the wall, and hide her face in a TroubledFetalPosition, clearly on the verge of tears. It's hard not to feel bad for her.

** It's not just that. They didn't break everyone up into groups. They made the students believe it's every man for him-self!

** And everyone accusing her of turning bad again when she tackles Dash during the semi-finals when really [[spoiler: she saw that Dash was transforming and panicked]].

** This becomes a bit of FridgeBrilliance when you take into account the season 4 finale [[spoiler: in which Twilight was betrayed by another "reformed villain"]]

** [[spoiler:Even worse was when Sunset tackled Rainbow Dash during their performance because she was conjuring up her magic when she wasn't supposed to and Sunset didn't know what else to do. However, the entire student body took this as her going back to being an AlphaBitch. What hurt the most, was when Flash stood up and said "Now there's the bad girl we all love to hate!"]]

* Prior to the movie's release, everyone assumed Sonata would have a HeelFaceTurn. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, it doesn't happen. Sonata fans argue that she did not deserve to have her singing voice taken away.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:"No one is going to remember you at all by the time we're done; all that's left for you is despair and regret."]]

* The HatePlague affected everyone in school, including the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Yes, even the Crusaders despise their sister (figures) under the Dazzlings spell!

** To be fair, Celestia didn't exactly "take a shot at her", but what she said definitely brought back some bad memories for the students. It wasn't directed towards Sunset, it was just a poor choice of words.

* Prior to the movie's release, everyone assumed Sonata would have a HeelFaceTurn. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, it doesn't happen. Sonata fans argue that she did not deserve to have her voice taken away.]]

* It's brief, but when the Rainbooms automatically let Twilight join their band, Sunset starts to whimper. Keep in mind that this was before the Dazzlings tell her how she's never included in anything, so these feelings have been present for a long time in Sunset.

* When the Dazzlings brainwash Celestia and Luna into picking the Rainbooms to go against them in the finals as part of their BatmanGambit, the entire crowd starts booing. Photo Finish even yells, "This never should have been you, Rainbooms!"

** Though, it was likely more her trying to get used to the hands again.
** WordOfGod has confirmed that it was genuine hesitation on Twilight's part due to distrust of Sunset Shimmer.

* Sunset Shimmer walking through a gym full of students glaring at her. Clearly [[ReformedButRejected the events of the last film have not been forgotten]], and she's visibly uncomfortable being around so many people who know what she did and possibly hate her for it. The commentary track for the film indicates this story takes place at least five and a half months after the first. That's a long time to endure that level of scorn.

** Later Celestia and Luna, already under the spell, accuse her of trying to make the Dazzlings look bad so everyone will forget about ''her'' mistakes.

* It's very quick, but in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5r0qa4aOBU this trailer]] that shows Twilight returning to Canterlot High, there's a part where all her friends rush to hug her. Except for Sunset, [[https://31.media.tumblr.com/3386a5d54a9d2b7cb71e9d1f845f54aa/tumblr_inline_nbpdyxfkKu1soxudx.gif who meekly backs away]], not feeling worthy enough to be a part of the group. And in the movie proper, after Twilight flies through the portal and lands on the ground, Sunset offers a hand to help her up, but Twilight takes a minute to accept it.
