Yeah that's so... dark. I think it would've been lighter to kill him rather than to do that to him and leave it unknown what happens in that world after. Pinkie said "This is a kids comic". The show has had some pretty dark villains and scenarios but I don't think it would go this far. This is the first dark scene in the comics that truly affected me, including Chrysalis killing the kitten (not counting the prospect of Nightmare Moon winning, which didn't come true).

Actually, I was willing to go by this arc as canon, but after what happened with Sombra I don't think I will. Before any dark scenes in MLP were just proof that this isn't just some little girl show, but Good Sombra turning evil that way never to return to the way he was, was a little too dark for my tastes. (I've seen darker shows but Season 7 of 24 was similar with a certain character and that was the season where I thought it wasn't as good as previous seasons)
