If you're worried Chrysalis might end up like Sombra... um... what's the best way to say this without upsetting you... Usually the uber dark malevolent villain is defeated this way, especially if they don't ever have a good side. As we witnessed with Sombra.

Not meaning this in a bad way, but how else is she going to be defeated?

a.) Redemption - If people who liked the mischievous Discord as a villain complained about him turning good, imagine how they'd react to the pure evil, dark, malevolent, creepy Chrysalis.

b.) Unofficial defeat - Such as being knocked out, flying away in a rage, or falling off a cliff again (which she can survive). Might dissatisfy a few to leave such an awesome villain like that, almost as a karma houdini. Meaning no offense, some people (like myself) like villains to be defeated one way or the other. And Chrysalis hasn't received such a defeat in her episode or a thosuand years prior to it, unlike the other three main antagonists. Although it would open a possibility for her return in the show.

c.) Imprisonment - Exactly how is Chrysalis going to be imprisoned, and her spell reversed? By the Elements of Harmony turning her to stone, coz the Mane 6 don't have those with them, unless Celestia brings them.

d.) Insanity - Are the Cutie Mark Crusaders going to do to her what Rarity did to the Diamond Dogs? Well Chrysalis intends to kill the CMC when they are no longer of use so if they drive her up the wall she'd probably kill them ahead of time.

I know how you feel, I like several villains as villains as well (Chrysalis and Sombra among them) but it doesn't stop me from wanting to see them defeated... and I have a certain preference for the really dark, malevolent, sinister ones like Chrysalis and Sombra. Now I'm going to feel bad for those who want her to make another return, but I guess if you try to please everypony you end up pleasing nopony

And Hasbro can still retcon the comics if they wish, but until they do I'll go by them as canon. (anything set after The Crystal Empire that shows Derpy would be non-canon though because she died between Seasons 2 and 3, maybe they'll explain how in the second arc after Chrysalis)
