It's just a normal, Lighter and Softer Disney cartoon for preschoolers, nothing's scary here... right...?
- Something is unsettling about Wendell the young wizard in "Minimus is Missing". His demeanor and facial expressions cross the line from Spoiled Brat to The Sociopath, and the creepy music he plays hypnotizes every pegasus to fly willingly into captivity, chanting "Wendell is wonderful, Wendell is wonderful..." in a Creepy Monotone.
- In "Day of the Sorcerers", Cedric comes really, really close to taking over the kingdom, freezing almost the entire royal family in an And I Must Scream situation. Even Sofia isn't able to stop him; his plan only fails because, due to Sofia's previous kindness, he can't bring himself to freeze her when he has the chance.
- The villain of this episode is Grimtrix "the Good", who was previously introduced and revealed to be Evil All Along in an earlier episode. Unlike Cedric, the show plays Grimtrix and his diabolical aspirations dead-seriously, and Billy West, known for playing comedic characters, is perfectly sinister voicing him.
- In Great Aunt-Venture we hear about the Horrid Hills. How bad are they? Aunt Tilly, who is frightened of nothing, would rather not go there.
- Sofia's evil clone melting in "Sofia The Second." Even worse, she dies willingly with a smile on her face.
- The Grand Finale "Forever Royal" is the darkest installment of the series.
- Vor is quite an intimidating villain. The evilest menace Sofia has ever faced of all. She plays Prisma like a fiddle and then the moment she emerges from the locket, her evil spirit dives into Prisma's body, taking control of her. Vor also explains her evil plan on just how she wants Sofia to suffer.Vor: I've decided that the sweetest revenge is taken not on Sofia herself, but on what she holds dearest to her heart. Her family, her home. I will trap Sofia in the Mystic Isles and take possession of her castle, her kingdom, and the Ever Realm itself!
- Sofia rushes to warn her family of Vor's plan when Vor appears right in front of her! Sofia uses her Enchantlet to lasso Vor's wrist, but Vor snaps the rope, causing Sofia to lose her balance and fall off the bridge. Thank god Minimus came to the rescue and caught her on his back just in time.
- Sofia wishes for Vor to be trapped inside the Amulet— only for Vor to snatch her by the ankle, intent on dragging her inside with her! Amber grabs Sofia's hand to save her, but the force is too strong and the two sisters' hands break apart, and she can only watch in horror as Sofia is sucked into the Amulet with Vor.
- Here's something even more disturbing. Craig Gerber
mentioned that when Sofia and Vor (and by extension, Elena) were sucked into the amulet, it was their spirits that were absorbed, not their physical bodies. That's pretty disturbing. They essentially died, with their consciousness intact, and could only be freed by outside forces. Of course, Vor is permanently dead, but still, this just became so much more disturbing.

- While it is undeniably an awesome moment, Vor's death is also kind of unsettling. Sofia literally kills her with The Power of Love, singing "my love will be the end of you", and the energy of Sofia's love surrounds Vor and appears to be depriving her of oxygen — evil was literally what. Love her, and love overwhelming it would be the equivalent of water filling her lungs. It even looks eerily reminiscent of the Earth Queen's death from The Legend of Korra.
