Did the writers really not have any new ideas for a new villain in Season 7? Stygian is just an exact copy of Nightmare Moon. A pony who grew so bitter with jealousy that they merged their soul with dark magic to turn themself into a monster of darkness who vowed to bring eternal darkness to Equestria forever. Sound familiar? Also, the whole "six magical objects gathered from ponies' achievements to unlock something mysterious and powerful" thing. We already did that in Season 4. They really lost their touch for ideas near the end of S7.
