What I like about this is the detail of fear on Megan’s face. I loved Megan so I am glad she was never turn into glass and shatter, but the animators gave Megan emotion and not just a blank face considering the dire situation they were in.

because you cant say kill in a kids cartoon

Dang, he’s evil!

Why can just I imagine this being spoken in Dingodile’s voice?

@BarryFromMars  
Heck, I remember a 60’s or 70’s Mr. Magoo cartoon where he portrayed various historical characters, and Magoo got killed dead on screen more than once along with other characters. That was surprising to see when I was a boy.

That is some serious evil.

@Amethyst_Crystal  
I totally agreed

It was something I made for Fimfic.net Quite happy you liked it. :)

Please link me the source of your avatar!  
I wouldn’t have been surprised if this happened during his episodes.  
That was some insane levels of bad luck.

I think the key difference is how old 80s / early 90s cartoons,  
had that childlike whimsy and cuteness to them most of the time,  
a charming fairy tale feeling.
 
This is what makes fairy tales all the more scary when they suddenly go (semi)grimdark.

@Lost Marbles  
Ah…Back when cartoons and kid friendly has serious balls. Granted, some toons today still do…But not the same

Jesus.
 
This reminds me of how much a scen from the Care Bares Nutcracker special scared me. The one where the Vaseer turned the characters one by one into firewood.
 
That shit gave me nightmares.

@TheGreat&PowerfulTrixie
 
Even the 1990s had this. Ah, I remember my first “Are You Afraid Of The Dark?” Episode where a kid dies by falling off a bridge in the first four minutes with his friend failing to save him and then showing up as a ghost to his friend years later. Nobody else sees his ghost of course.

Amore suffered a similar fate like this…

OMG, it kinda does in the second panel…

And he’s gonna enjoy it

Does anyone else think that piece of cloth he’s holding lines like a…penis?

I love G1 for a reason. For a bunch of reasons actually. And the good ol dark moments just happen to be one of them.

Things like this is why I respect G1. He didnt say “ill send you to the dungeon or next diminsion” no he flat out said “Ill kill you”

The 80s and 90s seemed to be able to get away with much darker stuff than you can now. I remember a few cartoons from that era where character died, and not just background characters, main characters. At least one cartoon from the 90s “The Animals of Farthing Wood” had a body count of named characters that wouldn’t be out of place in some of the more bloody adult dramas of today.

@Jim Prower  
Most of G1 was pretty dark, I loved the hell out of it when I was a kid.

Changed name to ‘Shrawk’ to go with the rest of his pics,  
though I am open to a debate about how his name should be spelled. :P

Oh, no… He’s gonna tap dat glass.

You evil bastard. >:(

They rescued their friends, whom he had kidnapped, and in the process meddled in his planned backstabbing of his employer.

@Background Pony #68C9  
If this showed Shrock actually carrying through on his threat, then yes.

Yikes.
 
What they do to you, guy?
