That's what I said about The Crystal Empire but not Princess Twilight Sparkle. As much as I loved the Nightmare Moon flashback and any of Discord's moments, the villain disappointed. The only villain I dislike more is Sunset Shimmer. (I'll like her better as a character now she's redeemed though) Maybe they made up for it with some of the awesome Season 4 episodes, particularly Twilight's Kingdom

But I know better now. I will not raise my expectations too high. Last time I expected a villain with as much screentime and lines as Chrysalis (mostly so others won't complain about him/her being a lame villain like they said for Sombra) and as dark as Chrysalis and Sombra, with epic battles, and destroyed spectacularly in the end. Kinda like everything awesome about Chrysalis and Sombra rolled into one perfect package. Instead we get a villain that consists of a bunch of vines created by Discord in the past. They don't speak and have no character whatsoever. I suppose they did meet the "screentime", "dark", and "destroyed" criteria, but it wasn't enough. Most don't even count them as villains rather than a force of nature.

This time I don't even expect a villain in Season 5. Unless there's an EG 3 with a female villain voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent, they'll need a male villain between her and Adagio. If they do, I cannot expect him to top Tirek. Or them to officially destroy him (though blasting him to Tartarus pretty much gives us the option of choosing to believe whether he was teleported there or destroyed and sent there through eternal tarnation). I'll have faith in them to make the slice of life episodes as good as ever, and hope they weren't lying about Rainbow Dash getting her own song, but while the animatic we saw did seem like two-parter material, there's probably no villain there, probably some sort of curse or something.
