Speaking of grimdark and ponies meshing together, has anyone noticed the none-to-subtle dark undertones in MLP? The existence of Tartarus, ancient beast handlers, timber wolves, hydra, dragons, hell even gryphons. I mean, while most of the slice of life kid-friendly stuff is going on on-screen you just /know/ some little colt from the bayou is getting dragged away by a muck monster or chimera to be eaten.
