What villain from the series isn't generic? Nightmare Moon is like your Maleficent (Stand back you FOALS!), Makuta (he betrayed his brother out of jealousy), Shadow Queen (locked away for a thousand years and wants to bring darkness), and Queen Nehelenia (imprisoned on a moon and wants to bring darkness).

Discord is Q from Star Trek, John de Lancie even does his voice.

Chrysalis is Maleficent (the way she transforms along with her green magic), Ursula (manipulating/brainwashing a male protagonist into marrying her when he should be marrying who she is impersonating), Lamia (she uses green magic and wants to eat Yvaine's heart, also is defeated a similar way minus the disintegration), and Voldemort (incapable of love and again uses green magic, also her duel with Celestia, even though evil wins in Chrysalis's case and the loser isn't disintegrated)

And it's about time the series got a villain based off Sauron, what with all the Lord of the Rings references it was only a matter of time.
