“He basically said that she’s not part of the show, has nothing to her name in it and that it would just confuse viewers”  
LMAO  
More seriously,yes that tend to happen.Your character indeed tend to look incongruous and out of place when they just exist in the setting of a badly thought spin off for a show called My Little Pony.This is where they belonged anyway ,as props in the background.Thanks for Miller for reigning in Haber yes-man impulse  
Honestly,I would have welcomed SS and Flash Sentry (especially the later if they treated his crush with Twilight EARLY in the show proper) with open arms if they were introduced in the OG show first but as it is,they are associated with High School Musical mean bitch cliché and Ken from Barbie ersatz)
 
Also they should do that,put Flash Sentry in G5 as a pony.The original sucked ,there’s only room for improvment for his character and potential for a cute love arc if you give him time to develop organically

@Derpyfan  
That does not matter. The show is written in a way that ignores Sunset’s existence. In the leak even Jim Miller said so when Haber tried to have Sunset have a speaking role in the finale. He basically said that she’s not part of the show, has nothing to her name in it and that it would just confuse viewers.
 
Whether or not she’s canon that doesn’t change that fact that she’s not part of the framework of the show as noted by Miller and a representative from Hasbro. The staff has gone on to say that they never had any plans to have her in the show since she belongs in EqG which is treated as a different thing. The sirens as noted by Vinyl where treated more like generic monsters and not even really expanded on. Her appearance in the last minute of the show was a cameo and nothing more.

@Derpyfan  
The EQG writers and MLP writers don’t talk to each other
 
The Sirens only showed up in Season 7 because they were part of the Pillars’ backstory, which was different than what happened in Rainbow Rocks

@Background Pony #5A56  
Here’s the thing: Saying she has nothing to do with FIM is wrong. Equestria Girls is of part of the FIM franchise and has been proven canon by the show itself and therefore part of its universe.

Shining Armor: Don’t let a single one get away!  
all of the ponies are seen on a cliff, the camera zooms up to a group of Master Hands and their controller Galeem  
Chancellor Neighsay: We’ll each need to take down about ten.  
Twilight Sparkle: Stow your fear, it’s now or never!  
Rainbow Dash: We’ll win this, I know we will.  
the Master Hands began disintegrating into rays of light, Galeem starts to form big black hole, Thorax soon sees a vision of the downfall of the ponies, but he foresees Bob, Larry, Junior, Spike and Flurry’s escape

@Background Pony #0144  
That’s a cameo. Nothing about that changes what I said, Sunset still has nothing to do with FiM. If you read the leaks even Jim Miller was saying so.

@Background Pony #5A56  

Well, almost.
 

@Aprion  
Sunset isn’t part of FiM. She has no reason to be here especially for a character who has zero mentions in the show. Tempest and the movie have been connected to the show via dialogue.

@Aprion  
She’s basically EQG-only at this point - the writers for the show,comics, and EQG are all separated, and her cameo in The Last Problem was just an easter egg

@Aprion  
Who is Sunset? I’ve never seen that character on the show before.

they put tempest in there, but they couldn’t bother to add sunset? I am dissapointed.

And Apple Jack is here too… Oh wait.

@ApplejackFan204  
In my mind, they did come to the final battle.

@Background Pony #233D  
She’s probably at the bottom of a landfill like the rest of the rubbish.

@Barry_2019  
they aren’t really friends and also have no reason to help
