I'm old-fashioned with villains so with dark sinister villains like them, I like them to end up like Chrysalis and Sombra. But a lot of people don't, they want them to stay evil and stay breathing (though I haven't heard a lot of complaints about the reformed Discord and Sunset Shimmer once we've seen more of them, and I guess we're officially counting Luna/Nightmare Moon on the "reformed" list now coz they're one and the same comics aside).

What I'm saying is, Chrysalis was the fan-favorite villain, alongside Discord, for being darker and more menacing than him and Nightmare Moon, for the most epic battle of the series thus far, and possibly for her villain song. Fans liked her so much they refused to believe she was dead from that fall (which I think was Meghan's intention to kill her there). The comics weren't a factor then coz they hadn't even been planned out yet (it was for that specific reason they brought her back in the comics). Sombra and Sunset Shimmer didn't have many fans, of course, and Discord lost popularity when he turned good, so Chrysalis was best villain after Season 3.

But then came Tirek, who is everything people loved about Chrysalis (aside from her villain song), on a higher scale. And he didn't die, or "seemingly" die as Chrysalis did, he just gets reimprisoned in Tartarus, even though he isn't likely to escape again. Then came the Dazzlings, whose battle is epic on a Chrysalis scale, and who have villain songs that are arguably better than Chrysalis's (and three different songs, not one plus a short reprise). And they didn't die, or even get imprisoned, they run off. One thing to note though is that both Tirek and the Dazzlings got their power taken away, so if they do return I can't see them doing much.

And I don't know, but between this idea of a new villain, and the fact that my favorite kind of villain defeat is becoming rarer to be seen in any series except the Marvel Cinematic Universe, maybe that's why I'm thinking about it so much. And I'm fine with Chrysalis and Sombra being the only villains killed off. In my headcanon, of course, you can think what you want to about Chrysalis or even Sombra, despite the official word on him, but I ditched my headcanons of Nightmare Moon, Demon Sunset, and Tirek.
