Flash just isn't video. Do you think you'd be able to experience the animation on the Simpsons web site without Flash? Yes, that animation is done in Flash if not their proprietary system not HTML 5. When you go to movie or musicians' sites, all that animation is Flash and cannot be replicated by HTML 5. It cannot, period. In those cases of rich media, Flash will not be replaced at all.
For navigational menu animations such as accordion menus, etc, they can be replaced by jQuery & HTML 5. I think M A V I C and i are speaking from the perspective of people who actually produce content for the web & build it versus people who consume the web.
Flash navigation is an even bigger issue. Buggy, slow, doesn't work well on mobile devices, and often has very poor accessibility. I've never met a consumer who actually like navigatng heavily Flash based websites.
