Is it possible the movie could end up being darker than the show?

Look at how Oogway "died". You can have someone Die without them falling on the ground and choking to death or bleeding out.

Obi wan died in a way that wasn't traumatic and so did oogway. You have them die in a mystical manner that has them either fade away or the body dissapears, or conversely you have them simply exaust their life force and more or less "go to sleep"

If Celestia does die... Maybe the movie would be about Twilight maturing. That's if bronies think Twilight is capable of ruling Equestria.. If Celestia and Luna were dead.  Who would control the sun and moon?

Either way Common Sense Media is going to throw a hissy fit because of all the action and fantasy, so they might as well have a death or two.

It could actually get a little darker, seeing how the show is getting gradually darker (I mean, the first two episodes of season 5, also the season 5 finale...). But I wouldn't expect anything Gravity Falls-style creepy, nor anything like Adventure Time's apocalyptic backstory. My Little Pony is just simply not that kind of show.

Most movies are seen in the dark far as I know.
