You know, that's the problem right there.

I have that "avoiding absolute rejection of friendship" is the Status Quo for the show.

I want the "exceptions" to be the rule. More villains who are defeated rather than redeemed. More villains who are beyond redemption.

Having every single villain be defeated via "the power of friendship" got stale. Villains like the Joker from DC, or the Daleks from "Doctor Who", or Sauron from "Lord of the Rings".

"Steven Universe" covered this pretty well, showing that there are villain you just can't redeem and that sometimes, violence really is the answer.
