To date, there has been only one opening two-parter that doesn't have a 'headline' villain and that was Princess Twilight Sparkle in season 4.

I've long wanted a season-long villain and they might do that but we can't say for sure one way or the other. DHX are playing the cards close to their chests at the moment and we can only guess as to who or what they are planning to do.

As for EqG3, it would seem likely that there will, once again, be a headline villain who will likely be another Equestrian exile. That said, it would be nice if, instead, they were to have a native threat - maybe a local gang (including the equivalent of Lightning Dust, Suri Polomare and Glida the Griffon). It would be nice for the EqG world to have some threats that aren't in some way an import through the mirror portal.

On the subject of villains, am I the only one who now thinks that the 'Pony of Shadows' in the epilogue of Castle-Mania was Tirek?
