Pattern time! (I hope nopony minds too terribly)

This is probably just coincidence, but every odd season (and only odd seasons) have seen at least one villain reformed, and every even season has ended with a two-parter featuring a dark and menacing villain with an epic battle, who was immediately followed by a similar sinister villain, and all four of them did not reform and could possibly be dead, though in the first case both are alive in comic canon and in the second it's a huge matter of headcanon that the show might not have even been going for:


 * Queen Chrysalis - Blasted over the edge of Canterlot by Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, fate unconfirmed


 * King Sombra - Destroyed by Princess Cadance and the Crystal ponies with the Crystal Heart (only confirmed kill of the four)


 * Lord Tirek - Blasted by the Mane 6 with Rainbow Power and suddenly appeared powerless in a cage in Tartarus (officially he is imprisoned which applies either way but it could have been eternal damnation as Tartarus is another name for Hell even though he and others have previously entered while alive, compare Frieza in Resurrection F)


 * The Dazzlings - Power and immortality taken away when the Rainbooms destroyed their stones, and as in other series with similar scenarios there is chance they aged into dust (though I am open to this being debunked if they return for redemption)

Also of note, the two male villains are the most evil villains in the series, and the two female villains have their own villain songs and feed off some emotion (though quite opposites from each other).

What if Season 6 has a dark, menacing, sinister female villain who feeds off of something of the ponies for power, has an epic battle and a villain song, and is at least presumably killed if even in the remotest way, and then the movie has Cosmos (who I think they said is a male villain but correct me if I'm wrong there) who will as evil as Sombra and Tirek, and I could see them destroying him to end the series.

Or maybe it's either coincidence or they'll break the pattern just like the gender patttern for villains.
