What happened between Sunset and Celestia was actually revealed in the canon comics and in interviews, and DWK pretty much nailed it. Basically what happened was:
Sunset didn't have a good relationship with her parents. They were very neglectful of her and only saw her as Celestia's student as a way to promote themselves, so she was basically brought up believing that you need to achieve greatness to get love and affection. Because she wasn't close to her parents, she viewed Celestia as a surrogate mother, and based on what she was brought up believing, tried to learn as much as she could as fast as she could to stay in Celestia's good graces.
Celestia tried to discourage Sunset's rushing, as learning magic she wasn't ready for was dangerous. this made Sunset worry that Celestia didn't think she was worthy, so she rushed into her studies even more to prove herself. As such, Celestia continued to dissuade Sunset from this method, encouraging her to make friends instead, but Sunset thought that Celestia didn't think she was good enough any more and was trying to distract her by trying to make her make friends. She began to grow angry and resentful towards Celestia since she was ultimately doing this to try and make her proud, and so she started to become bitter and mean because of it.
Celestia eventually used the mirror, which can show possible futures of those who look into it, to show Sunset what would happen if she continued down this path. Sunset saw two visions, one of her ruling with an iron hoof as an alicorn, and one of her as a human in the human world (the latter vision was very brief and was dismissed). Sunset became convinced that the mirror was the key to the future she saw where she obtained power and tried to unlock its secrets, eventually learning that it could lead to another world. Celestia warned her to leave the mirror alone, but Sunset continued researching behind her back. When she was caught, Celestia dismissed her as her student, so Sunset snuck back in and went through the mirror when the portal opened, but got stuck on the other side when it closed.
When the portal opened again, Sunset came through to find that Celestia had replaced her. She felt like twilight had stolen what she had been working towards and what she felt was rightfully hers, which was why she stole the crown. So what essentially caused Sunset to go bad was a bad upbringing from her parents, faulty guidance from Celestia, and miscommunication and lack of understanding Sunset's feelings and predicament.
27:44 "That took two months?!" If you think that's bad, that's nothing compared to his next EqG project. In DWK's Rainbow Rocks recap, there's a gap of over a year between parts 1 and 2. (Which is probably why you couldn't find them together in a playlist.)
They did address the letter thing. The problem is Sunburst doesn't read or respond to any of his mail from his home town. Which. Sadly, would have included poor Glimmys.
So are you ever going to watch the rainbow rocks recap since you finished all his regular ones and haven't gotten to it yet? Because personally his rainbow rocks ones are some of the funniest ones he's made.
Ok I have seen this on many reactions/ reviews people keep saying the thing that's wrong with twiggy having a crush on Brad is because shes a pony ... but shes not in this instance she is human she was a pony but that is no longer the case
Before the last one twilight is 18 19 coz when it started she was 17 and it has been 3 years since the last episode I know I thought it would be longer to
