Hasbro may have intended it for little girls when they began (and I guess there is something to this comment since they've been planning Alicorn Twilight from the beginning) but Lauren Faust intended it for all audiences, adding appeal by sneaking in references only we would get. And Hasbro is following her style even after she's gone. And taken it to a new level with not one but two Knights of Cerberus (look it up), at least one of which dies in the end even more spectacularly than anything G1 could muster with Tirek and Lavan.
