The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

Wait, wait, wait, wait.
 
That dog thing touched that pony’s hat; the only thing which didn’t turn to stone.

Wind Whistler is accused of being cold and callous during this storyline. She behaves and talks like Spock or Data, and tends to be misunderstood. A few emotional events make their feelings about her non-feelings worse than usual.
 
She and the other ponies are given a task by the living mountain to put part of the mountain’s heartstone into the rampaging rock golem dog, Crunch, so that it would stop turning people to stone.
 
When they confront the beast and Truly attacks it, the others warn her not to get close, but Wind Whistler declares she doesn’t care what Crunch does to Truly, who’s been particularly scornful towards her. She scoffs how she’s fed up with these ‘romantic idiots’ and ‘sentimental fools’, and brushes off her friend’s pleas and condemnations.
 
Crunch says ‘Good, cause I’m going to turn her into stone.’ When she weeps, he says, ‘Aha, I thought so!’
 
She was intending to deceive him into thinking she really was heartless too, and it helped that she sounds genuinely sick of her friend’s treatment. but as you can see, it didn’t work.
 
Her plan B did work though.

I haven’t watched Nickelodeon in years (mainly as the cheap cable in my apartment lacks that). Still, that’s where Netflix Instant comes in.

Actually, I think what he said was, “My those lenses are lovely.” (Refering to her glasses) But yeah, they’ve gotten away with that “marshmallow hell” gag in a few other things I recall. (Like “Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumber Land”)  
Still, that show did get away with alot, Rocko and R&S were good shows.  
SpongeBob had his moments to, but it’s been getting rerun on Nick so much, I kinda got tired of it.

They can get away with Spongebob because he’s… well he’s a sponge. Also Spongebob’s original creator was Stephen Hillenburg. This guy also worked on Rocko’s Modern Life. And if you saw that you know right away how they would push the limit of what went into a cartoon. Remember the episode where Rocke slipped into a certain hippos breasts? He then turned around and said “My those curves are slender.” LOL! Can you even imagine a cartoon character saying that today? Or the time when he had her bra over his eyes and was blindly wandering around saying “Cannot see! Must remove cups.” I don’t think I even need to bring up Ren & Stimpy…

I’ll take that as a compliment. :) Thanks.

Y’know, even the original campier Ninja Turtles show from the ‘80s, and ‘90s was darker in it’s first 5-part episode season. In the first episode Leo actually slashes through a Foot Soilder’s torso with his katana. Sure they turned out to be robots, and all we saw were sparks, and wires, but as far as Leo was concerned he would’ve been cutting a real person’s belly open.  
Bebop & Rocksteady while still dumb were also meaner, and crueler in the first season, (Bebop even tried to strangle Splinter in one S1 episode) before being toned down, and turned into nearly-harmless vilains in the seasons afterwords.
 
It’s funny what you can, and can’t get away with in cartoons nowadays. You can show SpongeBob’s bare ass, but you can’t show anything that’s “to violent,” and such for kids.

Watch late 80’s or early 90’s cartoons and you see the amount of stuff they could put in a cartoon. Sexual innuendos. Death, Blood, sometimes graphic violence (to a point. It never got gory) Heck I remember a part in one cartoon called Mighty Max where a family was murdered by a serial killer! It was never actually shown mind you (Norman didn’t let Max into the cabin the family was murdered in), but I mean you would NEVER see that in modern cartoons! Swat Kats was another cartoon that was ripe with violence and some major sexual innuendos. Exo Squad was an amazing cartoon that had a very dark atmosphere along with an amazing story. Ahh the golden age of cartoons… It was a good time to be young back then.

This scene is actually much more sad if you know what’s going on, but its interesting to see how people react to G1 clips. This whole storyline is significant for Wind Whistler.

To be fair, Flintstones wasn’t a kid’s show originally, and was actually ment for adults. But it does look “wrong,” and funny in hindsight that they used to advertise cigarettes regardless.

Dude, have you ever seen “Adventure Time?” Granted it’s TVPG, but still even some modern cartoons can get pretty dark/edgy to.
 
Still, I suppose you could get away with more in the ‘80s & ‘90s. Nowadays you can’t even show a character with a cigar, or smoking in a “kid show.” (Granted those were usually ugly unattractive, or “not-nice” characters who usually did that, so I doubt that made kids want to smoke, if that’s what they’re worried about.)  
They also edited out a few suicide jokes in Looney Tunes now, which they used to show unedited on Nickelodeon back in the ’90s.
