Don't think about "recent" in terms of a time frame, but more in terms "what we've been shown in the meantime". In other words, since Tirek's second imprisonment there has been only one movie to tell a villain story, that's very little. And since villains are actually rare (no season has more than two main villains by my count), to make all four forms of defeat used equally would still make a mighty long time before the cycle repeats itself. Anyway, I can't judge how it is in other shows.

That naming scheme, this is worrisome. However, as long as the villain is a magical unicorn, I can live with their names being some sort of allusion to Twilight.

I'd say, that revealing her fate could have been too much as well (or maybe they didn't and this is just a retreat for plan B executed in the same two-parter). I'm still more interested in what will happen in between and how they resolve the conflict.
