@KillRoy231, sorry, but can I ask what you mean by " And sadly, they canonized something else that's less to be seen in kids shows than non-villain deaths (through the existence of and reaction to a  whoopee cushion , which they couldn't do  two seasons ago ). The only G-rated Disney movie to reference  that  - which it had to be subtle about - is also the one where the main character's father is murdered in front of him by his own brother."? I know the movie you're referencing is Lion King, but I'm not sure what was canonized.

(@ anyone)

Also maybe the reason MLP won't bring up death but Disney will is because Disney has been doing it for a long time and isn't as affected by ratings as MLP/the network it's on. Even if there's something distressing in a Disney movie, it probably won't affect Disney much, whereas MLP might take a hit? Idk just an idea. Either way, I personally do believe their parents are dead, and it makes this episode really interesting (and quite a bit sadder) to watch it with that in mind. Still really curious HOW they died, though.
