"Advanced" Dark Magic like Witchcraft/Voodoo in the show of MLP:FIM

[Echo Narcissa 73]

(This one was just out of boredom...   ) Also, I have watched on youtube a bunch of times about six creepy/unsettling episodes of kid friendly shows, and I thought if they were able to do that with these shows and got little or no complaints (as far as I know) what would be the chances of the writers putting them in the show?

 

Okay, so we already know they have some serious Dark Magic in the show of MLP:FiM and in the movies, but not all the way that dark due to the rating and censoring for some of the audience since at the end of the day, it remains a fun little kid show for kids, parents, adults, and teens for all to enjoy now. I am curious about what you guys think on the subject of the show introducing some "real world" dark magic like Voodoo, Nercomany, Witchcraft since in a few recent episodes things have gotten kind of dark, but still within limits of the show's ratings.

 

Like in, "Do Princesses Dream of Sheep." there were savage dresses mutilating other dresses. (I know it's just a dress, but it reminded of one creepypasta and another where one of the mannequins in Rarity's boutique just takes on a life of it's even gaining gruesome looking sharp fangs with what I think was black spit.)

 

Midnight Sparkle was also a semi dark reference to the show's dark magic and in "Bloom and Gloom" I don't think I need to give reason as how it was getting slightly dark every time Applebloom woke up to a different nightmare.  Even in cutie re-mark there were mention of murder from "Tribal Fluttershy" even if she did say destroy instead of kill.

 

So what do you guys think of them potentially putting other types of Dark Magic in the show, and able to make work without a lot of complaints from the audience or soccer moms.  

 

And as thanks to the fellow member who reminded me of KIng Sombra, the Alicorn amulet, Inspiration Manifestation and probably Flutterbat in the episode of "Bats" from when Fluttershy undergoes a vampiric transformation and goes hostile only consuming fruits.

 

For King Sombra, he pretty much may go on my top ten censored dark themes in MLP if I ever did a top number video.  Sombra showed up as a big, eerie, smoky, dark, scary, ghost like thing that took part in real world slavery to the crystal ponies, and his death being actually pretty violent even if it was censored, cartoon violence taking place. They used the power of the crystal heart and their love together to actually kill Sombra by practically blowing him to bits and pieces with no traces of him left except his horn.

 

Then in "Inspiration Manifestation" things didn't get all too dark, but showed corruptive, mind consuming dark magic instead that only seemed to make Rarity get worse and worse the more she used it and the longer she had the book. My first personal thought while watching this episode was that, "Dear God, if this goes on any longer, this crazy, beautiful bitch might just actually lose her own sanity and self-control completely and turn someone into solid gold, mannequins, pony-shaped crystal/diamond statues and what ever else she could think of. Let's be honest, I think if Spike decided to let it go any further before actually saying something to her, she would have turned some poor bastard into a luscious, solid gold version of themselves I mean, she already trapped ponies inside of a crystal or diamond and damn near blinded a few others with solid gold ground. Even in the season finale of season 5 there more Twilight time traveled, it only gotten worst until Equestria was nothing more than a dead, sandy waste land with no sign of like what so ever that gave the impression the ponies and animals there have left Equestria and now somewhere beyond because it gotten too bad for anyone to live or they all died and Equestria became nothing at all. That actually took me off guard after seeing that.

Again, this was just out of boredom...

You forgot to mention Sombra, the Alicorn Amulet, the Inspiration Manifestation, etc.

Well with Sombra, the alicorn amulet, and with what Zecora does (even if not evil) I can see stuff like this somewhat in the show's universe.

^{a evil zombie summoning pony would be awsome}

Oh my god, Thank you, when I was finishing this up, I was thinking to myself was there anything else I forgot to add in here that had dark references to them. Thanks, I hope I can go back and edit it, and if not, then I guess I'll just put it in a reply or something to further explain.

Like a Necromancer or a voodoo pony? Yeah that'll be cool. Especially since there are some people who said they saw the "Slendermane" in the background of a scene in "Pinkie Apple Pie" not sure if the creators are planning to do anything with that though.

a necromancer dark lord pony, kinda like sauron would be cool. he could summon undead alicorns . also,I know this isn't exactly like what your talking about, but id like to see some berserker pony magic. the ponies would get super strong and have red glowing eyes and attack everything around them.

When Rarity got the Inspiration Manifestation, it was like Discord going all yandere.

None of those episodes dark and still within the boundaries of MLP standards

Well, that is what you think and I respect, but don't really agree, so I'll just leave it as that, so it don't go any further.

King Sombra's death is still questionable and he merely disappeared into the dust. So how is that any more darker than locking someone in the moon for 1000 years? There's also the case of Chrysalis being flung several miles up into the air which could of resulted in her falling and having her organs and bones broken. That seemed more like his ghost fading away than anything.

Sir or miss, what did I just say? Discussion closed okay. No need to respond let us both just stop right here if I had a lot of time to elaborate, but I don't so, I'll just stop right here and justify myself when I can.

 

But you made good point with Chrysalis though.

I Apologize for the other night ma'am/sir it was a long day and night for me, so anyway, you made good points above that when you mentioned Sombra and Chrysalis for King Sombra, I only thought about what would scare the small kids if I saw it as for Queen Chrysalis, the possibility of thought would be better discussed, but as everyone can see, King Sombra have most likely died from the exploding blast.
