Certainlly true besides I think that is question is simply that the Hasbro "heads" take a bold step recognising that for our days the great majority of kids are perfectly prepared to face such scary and dark stuff (for Luna sake! the own Disney has been doing it for decades!!! in Atlantis, the Lion King, etc....) Although maybe a first step to this can be the pretty sure new line of the "Guardians of Harmony" of Mlp.



Besides if I not remeber bad some time ago I read that Laurent Faust would love to do an "spin-off" about the history of Luna and Celestia or at leats some episodes focused in them that personally are something that both deserves after all these seasons and being two of the most loved and mysterious characters of the show.
