Actually, I wish I knew where Hasbro is willing to go about Chrysalis.

Indeed, her first animated appearance was about as frightening as the show could afford to get (considering it's original audience target). Hasbro even requested Chrysalis' character designer Rebecca Dart to push the creepiness further than she had initially intended to. They requested that Rebecca Dart proved "that she [Chrysalis] could be a super villain" (source: The Art of Equestria).

Also, the first comic (The Return of Queen Chrysalis) certainly managed to push the "creepiness" to truly surprising levels and comic artist Andy Price clearly expressed his motivation to depict a true "monster".

Yet, ever since then, I feel that there has been a slow shift in the depiction of Chrysalis. Past the very first comic, her appearances seem to have revealed slightly more "humane" aspects. I know our headcanons about Chrysalis may be different but I'm trying to be objective here, and I believe a change is going on.

Well, all I personally hope for is that she doesn't get any more "comical" or "Team Rocket-y" than she already has been made out to be.
