Talk:Queen Chrysalis/@comment-1031724-20160222195351/@comment-1031724-20160227213430

The bit about the "frightening as the show could afford to get" supports a theory that crossed my mind that the reason Chrysalis's fall was staged in a Team Rocket blasting off style was to kill her in a more subtle way. And after the positive reception, the next villain, King Sombra, was twice as dark and menacing as Chrysalis and was killed up front. (of course they have to remember Tirek in G1 was both of these as well)
