Equestria Girls Review: My thoughts on the Equestria Girls Villains

When will we have a male villain in Equestria Girls?
After having 4 Equestria Girls movies and 3 special, we've yet to see a major male villain in the spinoff. Yet in the 7th season of MLP and the upcoming MLP Movie will have 2 new male antagonists appearing soon hinted by the unicorn decedent Shadowlock in IDW issue 53 From the Shadows, and the other being The Storm King; Whom I hope will be a great villain in the film My Little Pony: The Movie.
The current male antagonists of MLP: FIM we're The draconequus Discord, King Sombra, and Lord Tirek. But while Discord and Sombra later on reformed themselves, Triek remained a dangerous villain as he was imprisoned in Tartarus, after stealing the magic of almost everypony in Equestria and destroying Twilight Sparkle and Spike's home the Golden Oak Library.
Discord is the most developed of the male villains, as he became now a secondary character of the show, thanks to the element of kindness Fluttershy, by becoming a close friend to him while being still mischievous. Sombra soon also reformed, but only in the IDW comics of MLP for IDW issues 34-37 Siege of the Crystal Empire.
It just seems to me like, after the Friendship games, they're starting to get lazy with ideas for new villains in the spinoff with Gloriosa Daisy and Juniper Montage, and to me made it seemed like only girls having problems and thought to use magic as the salutation, only to turn them into dangerous magical beings, and we're both for the product line of EG to sell more.
While their are some minor male antagonists in EG; Snips and Snails we're just the henchmen for Sunset Shimmer, and kinda made her seem like a recolor of Trixie Lulamoon at first, I did like their demon forms as they became "the fools" for the She-demon form of Sunset Shimmer and seem more useful then the pony version of them, making them more of a threat to our heroines.
Filthy Rich, however was just more of the motivation for Legend of Everfree's real antagonist Gloriosa Daisy/Gaea Everfree as he wanted to shut Camp Everfree down. Another problem with them is that fact that their original antagonists on EG and have first canon on MLP:FIM.
I love EQ, but would just enjoy Equestria girls more, if they've at least had a main male villain for Sunset Shimmer and friends to face up against. Maybe a G1 villain like Grogar, Lavan, Arabus or even just a Jock like Gaston from Disney's Beauty and the Beast or a lonely teenaged boy misguided or jealous and used magic for himself.
I've always wanted to try making a Equestra Girls Fanfic with a male villain; with songs to come with it, but for now, I just had these thoughts for a long very time, and I wanted to let it out now, let everyone know, hoping others might agree with for something new to happen in Equestria Girls.
If you like my thoughts so far, I might make another chapter on my thought of 5 antagonists of Equestria girls, from the villain-to-hero Sunset Shimmer to the newest antagonist Juniper Montage, and for now; what would your idea for a OC boy/girl villain in Equestria Girls be? I would really like to know.
