King Sombra's death scene was extremely spectacular and so far is the only confirmed villain death of the series (aside from the plunderseeds and windigos), the rest are either presumed or implied (you know, like Chrysalis). Not only do I like seeing the villains spectacularly destroyed (number one on my list is Emperor Palpatine), but G1 did it twice (three times if you count the Smooze), so despite G4's major superiority its battles weren't quite as "hardcore" as the G1 battles where Lavan was blown to chunks or Tirek was blasted apart, and this show had to prove it wasn't too much of a "kid show" to be able to do what G1 and many Disney movies did. Like, if you can have villains this dark and evil, you shouldn't be afraid of disposing of them the old-fashioned way.

And it's a good thing they got to that point with Sombra and presumably Chrysalis (though with her it's unconfirmed) before they got to the point where they departed from that forever like many series do. (Sailor Moon's fourth season, the fourth Shrek, Frozen of the Disney movies, the final Spartacus which has the villains WIN, etc.) although it could be argued that Chrysalis and Sombra were the reason they departed from it because their deaths disappointed more fans than they impressed.

And if you're amused rather than annoyed, that's good and I take absolutely no offense at that
