@Kilmarnock

A.) If the Elements were at full power they would have easily exorcised the Shadow symbiote and purified Stygian like they did with Luna and Sunset (though only the former may have had a symbiote in her). Here all they could do was, with great effort, force the completed Pony of Shadows into limbo, to which Twilight and Starlight had to specifically separate Stygian to spare him the Shadow's fate.

B.) If the Mane 6 could use Rainbow Power again, wouldn't they have used it on the Pony of Shadows and the Storm King's army first? Wouldn't they have used it to restore all the magic, THEN check on Tirek? Seeing as how they were able to use it after Tirek took all their magic. I think Rainbow Power's a one-time thing. The dream sequence doesn't count, it was just Luna's dream.

@Mega Sean I'd like all major villains to either be dead, reformed, or permanently imprisoned by the end, otherwise the story feels incomplete. And, hypothetically speaking, what if they make it a season-long villain arc, on account of running out of ideas for slice of life episodes and making Best Gift Ever the grand finale?
