This is something I wish Season 9 would do: the Tree of Harmony being evil.

It would be a legitimately unexpected villain twist (everyone saw Cozy coming a mile away), it would have basis in continuity (mentally/emotionally torturing the Young Six by exposing them to their greatest fears, refusing to let the Mane Six use the Elements back in "The Return of Harmony", teaching the Kirin to "embrace the anger", all points to the Tree having a darker side), and it would make for a great plot point to permanently separate the Elements from the Tree.
