Well, unless the show matures in S4, i dont think we'll ever see have the hat symbolize AJ's parents' legacy.

There's ways for the show to get away with it. And the show has matured since season 1 though i dont know if it'll do it even more in S4 and It mostly depends how subtle it's done. But i dunno if Hasbro would still allow that in their show

It's why i think that kind of story would only be allowed in the IDW comics. Those comics explore the backgrounds of characters with little to no backstory (Candence, Shining Armor, Chrysalis, Big Mc,and others). Those comics also got away with MURDER!!! Something the show would never be able to do., unfortunately (not the muder, but the whole death aspect)
