I'm... not expecting much from the "darkness" of this season.

This show airs on Disney freaking Junior. It's not gonna be incredibly deep, tear-jerking, or thought-provoking.

Even if it is "dark", how will that fly with Disney executives? As far as I can assume, they're not gonna let "dark" and "shocking" content on a preschooler channel.

Then again, this show has dealt with death. There was a funeral in one episode, and even inferred death in the backstory of the Roar.

But I'm not gonna believe it till I see it. 'Cause again, this show airs on Disney freaking Junior.

For all we know, "darker" could just mean more night scenes. I mean, there IS a volcano in The Rise Of Scar. And it IS dry season; fires and whatnot can happen.
