Villains are just as important to the show. A hero's rogues gallery are filled with villains that are a reflection off of themselves.

For example:

Superman holds great power, and uses it for protecting others. But his villains abuses their power, and uses it for their own personal gain.

Batman was a human who's been scarred by a tragedy, and pledge to fight crime and not succumb to be part of it. While his villains have been scarred as well, but decided to take their disfigurements out on the world.

In MLP, the ponies understand the value in magic, learn about friendship to make themselves and others better. But the villains see magic as great power. They believe they can use it to reshape Equestria into their own image and that nothing else in important.
