1.) Sunset Shimmer is the only villain who tried to kill characters. You're wrong there. Three of the previous four attempted it as well.

a.) Nightmare Moon nearly sent Twilight, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity falling to their deaths from the cliff. Rainbow Dash gets Pinkie to safety, Fluttershy bites Rarity's tail (this is the first and last time a pony bites Rarity's tail), and Applejack holds Twilight up until Rainbow and Fluttershy can catch her.

b.) While it's unclear what Chrysalis intended to do to Celestia or the ponies of Canterlot, she did try to kill Twilight and Cadance by trapping them in the forgotten caves, which is effectively what happens to a certain character at the end of a Saw movie except that Twilight and Cadance escaped.

c.) While King Sombra didn't try to kill any PONIES (save for his presumed murder of the Crystal Empire's previous ruler from before he took it over), since he's all about enslaving them, he does try to kill Spike, when he rode that dark crystal at him he was either going to skewer him or eat him or both.

Also, Sunset Shimmer was in demon form when she tried to kill Twilight, but that was when her evil was magnified or possibly even manifested, in her regular state, despite all her cruelty she wasn't willing to kill Spike, and didn't seem violent, just cruel and power-hungry. Although I guess in the case of the above three, they only tried to kill those who were a threat to their evil plans, while Sunset Shimmer did so purely out of annoyance at Twilight. So maybe she was more evil IN DEMON FORM, but in pony/human for, not so much.

2.) I never said I didn't think Season 4 wouldn't end in a two-parter. What I meant was "If Season 4 ends in a two-parter, it will feature the BigBad, and if it doesn't, a movie set after it will."
