Tell me they let the writers do their own thing in Season 4! If not, then Season 5 might be in trouble.

They were in control for Season 1 at least, because they rejected some of Lauren Faust's ideas like making it a magical girl anime like Sailor Moon or Winx Club (Nightmare Moon was intended to last the whole Season 1)

Of course once the fandom was known to them and it was clear Luna was popular, not only did they bring Luna back in more episodes each season (6 is the record), but, however you view Luna's Nightmare Moon transformation, they straight-up reformed another villain, Discord, and gave him reappearances.
