not really, MLP is full of villains who seek to destroy the world.. ever since G1.

MS is no worse than Tirek, Sombra and a billion before them (although not the same canon look up G1 Smooze, Hideousa and Lavan) - the "destroy the world / universe" thing is standard fare in MLP for the "Big Bads" they build up to.

the show focuses largely on slice of life and minor adventures but it almost always builds up to a massive battle two-parter.. it's MLP tradition really.
