The style they're going for now is basically all they have to go on without Lauren Faust: What they think we want them to do, which they probably just assume from fanfics and fanart.

Alicorn Twilight - Was intended to be a princess, and they decided to include an alicorn transformation because we said princesses and alicorns are one and the same in MLP. Same thing with Cadance.

Redeemed antagonists - Trixie was a minor antagonist, and I can't explain Sunset Shimmer, but Discord, people wanted him to return (just not in that way) or else the inspiration was possibly the fanfic "Tears for the Devil", where Fluttershy feels sympathy for Discord being turned to stone and was hoping the Elements would help him redeem himself, commenting that he'd be a fun guy to have around if he wasn't evil. That could be by it's Fluttershy who reforms him in the episode
