Letting go of perfection is a hard things and just going with whatever comes makes you more ready for anything.

As long as you enjoy the ride, the final results don’t always matter. Things don’t have to be perfect, whether it’s a song, video, or a show about pastel-colored ponies.

But I really love the message and moral of this special. Now whether that’s just chaotic Pinkie power that made things work out or not, we will probably never know. It just so happened that following Pinkie’s “go with the flow” vibe worked out in their favor every time. It made me like Sunset more with how she was about to adapt to Pinkie and try to remain calm and think of other ideas. It just wouldn’t make sense for Pinkie to be dismissive about Sunset’s feeling and having it seem like Sunset needed to change and not Pinkie needing to reel it back a bit. I might joke around a little too much, but I’m just so happy you’re here.” In this special, it felt like it turned up that joking too high for Pinkie to be likeable most of the time.

In the song, she said, “ponies think I’m all bubbles and laughter, that I don’t seem sincere. It reminds me of Pinkie’s line from the song “We’re Not Flawless” from Fame and Misfortune. Pinkie had some moments that rubbed me the wrong way with her character. It just so happened to be convenient that Sunset got to see the concert by herself and still remained in that time loop. If Sunset wasn’t in a time loop and didn’t get to see the concert until the third loop, she probably still would’ve been upset with Pinkie Pie about missing this once in a lifetime concert. I can understand the idea of letting the day take you to whatever and being ok with things not going as planned, but it’s hard to fully agree with that based on how things went between Sunset and Pinkie Pie. I’m still really conflicted about this special and it’s mostly regarding Pinkie Pie. These two were a lot of fun through this short and with just re-watching this, it’s hard to keep my opinion the same throughout the special.Īnd that was Sunset’s Backstage Pass, one of the last hour long specials for Equestria Girls and what an interesting special it was. Time loop is done and with no real plans, I think these girls can relax and have the day them wherever they want to go. And just like that, it’s Starswirl Day 2.
