the Redwall TV series dealt with some surprisingly dark themes
slavery, murder, assassination, torture, on-screen death, etc.
and just generally darker themes like in this scene:
(timestamped to 14:04)
perhaps a somewhat unpopular opinion, but i wasn't really a fan of the format of season 4 at all, and many of the episodes felt like misses for me
season 3 was no less rife with problems, particularly the finale; the whole season felt rushed and awkwardly condensed
i've been around since the tail end of 2010, so, minty couldn't really have joined much earlier
the fandom has gone through many waves and phases and all of them had something awesome to offer
of course, minty gets nostalgic about the older days, but it's been fun throughout the years
conventions and meetups and new friends to hang out with being the highlights
