My point is, everything I said about "they could have done a lot better than the Plunderseeds for the villain in Princess Twilight Sparkle" is now valid because I recently said that they did Plunderseeds for the villain is because of the gender pattern, that they needed someone between the previous, female villain, and Tirek, a male villain, whom they had in mind for quite a while, and the only three ways to make it work were: a.) to have Discord turn evil again, b.) To say Chrysalis survived and bring her back, or c.) to make it some genderless vines created by Discord when he was evil. But this new unicorn coming right after Adagio Dazzle shows there is no gender pattern and it was all coincidence, so that wasn't a factor in Princess Twilight Sparkle.

It's not that they're out of ideas for villains, but rather they didn't do their best for the villain in Princess Twilight Sparkle, even though they kinda balanced it out with the Nightmare Moon flashback, and made up for it with Tirek in Twilight's Kingdom, but I was still expecting better after 9 months
