Anypony notice they seem to be running out of villains?

First you get Nightmare Moon, a standard eternal darkness villain, who doesn't seem too dark. Then you get Discord, who is less menacing and seems more of a mischievous goofball who is almost fun to have around (and is redeemable), but underneath he is darkar than Nightmare Moon. Then there's Chrysalis, who is much darkar than both of them put together. Then there's Sombra, who's darkar still.

But for the movie villain, Sunset Shimmer, she's less evil than Nightmare Moon, atleast until she becomes a demon which kinda puts her on the same level (but she looks much more threatening). So they don't have any to top Sombra, do they?

Now, for Season 4, the main villain of the premier will be Nightmare Moon, in a flashback sequence experienced by Twilight from Celestia's point of view, to when Luna first became Nightmare Moon.

Which just leaves the Season 4 finale, and if it isn't a two-parter, it will be followed by a movie. Whichever it is will most likely see the BigBad behind the other villains that they're no doubt saving for the end. And since they can't seem to be coming up with any new villains after Sunset Shimmer, or any to top Sombra, it'll probably be the very first MLP villain we saw. The G4 universe will probably get its incarnation of the G1 villain Tirek. And he'll probably be as dark as he was in G1. (If you haven't seen the movie, let's just say he could rival Sombra)
