Grogar _did_ come out of left field other than a handwave mention in a children's storybook.
The Pony of Shadows came out of left field after a brief mention as a boogeypone.
Chrysalis came out of left field with no prior mention at all.
It's called a _plot twist_. That's how they work.
Using the entire history of the show as the impetus to summon the Ultimate Evil would be the best possible way to end it, but they didn't do that. They did another typical two-parter where *FRIENDSHIP'S POWER IS MAXIMUM-ER*, the only difference being that Twilight is becoming the princess.
