If Season 5 wasn't cancelled, I stand by this new villain survives. Most series aren't killing off their villains anymore, and while MLP definitely isn't too prissy to do so, they know it will disappoint the fans (who were in complete denial of the death of their least favorite villain, that's enough to permanently drive them away from something they did for us bronies). That's why they didn't kill Tirek or the Dazzlings, even though it would have been a whole lot simpler to have a repeat of G1 with Tirek, or have the Dazzlings transform instead of doing astral projection.

It's like, say everyone in the fandom hated Rainbow Dash, and therefore they hated all Rainbow Dash episodes. And then they did a Rainbow Dash episode where she was getting beat up and stuff like that. And everyone still hated it because it was still about Rainbow Dash. They'd never want to do another Rainbow Dash episode again, would they?
