We've seen it a lot over the past few seasons. When the E/I tag was dropped way back in season two, my little pony seemed to shift toward things that probably wouldn't originally be allowed in it's season one iteration. Pony has gotten dark a few times over the years, but the season finale really showed how far the staff over at DHX could push it without ruining the license.
Whether it's a Fallout style wasteland, a war torn, miserable world, or Tirek and Twilight literally destroying mountains in an epic battle, pony has definitely evolved. Is it for the better though? Do you approve of this new direction the show seems to have adopted over time? Or do you prefer the silly, utopian level slice of life it originally aired as?
