Chrysalis has crossed the moral event horizon harder than either of the other two.

They didn’t need to reform all 3  
just Chrysalis

I do think it is important for there to be at least some villains left unredeemed, it’s simply unrealistic to expect every last villain to become a good guy in the end, I just wish they would make done more with it.

My only issue is with the fact that they never turned their irredeemability into a plot point. It’s true that there are certainly people who are just simply bad and don’t want to change, and I think it would have been good to present a moral on how you should always try to redeem people, but also be willing to accept when a person refuses to change their ways. That could have made for a difficult, but ultimately good lesson.

Honestly I don’t think background info is needed too much for Chrysalis and Tirek, they are ancient power-hungry beings who are practically just ‘demons’. I think it’s cool to imagine Cozy is secretly a demon too, but who knows.  
At least there’s always fanfics and possibly g5 since being turned to stone is reversible in mlp.

And that’s where the season really lost me. With the theme of reformation, this season would’ve been a glorious opportunity to look into the backgrounds of these three villains. We could’ve seen how and why they became so evil.

I was hoping they would take the route where Starlight finally helps reform Chrysalis,  
but I think they handled the ’stay evil’ route as well as they could.  
Still, this clip makes me kinda sad for what could’ve been….

If you are referring to the art seen with the announcement, that could be simply so they don’t spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen the last episode.

I’m not sure about that, I mean, season 10 is indicated to take place sometime after the Ending Of The End yet before the epilogue episode.

This can still be explored in Season 10, and if not then fanfics/headcanons are always an option.

They had a chance, but then they squandered in favor of seeking more power. Some people just don’t want to change.

Well to be fair, that only happens after you’ve murdered as many monsters, you’re pretty much beyond having the moral high ground at that point.
