I heard from a friend once that if Raven ever had a grimdark, it would play out like the movie Falling Down.

Something something, nightmare situation where Blue Blood is the only one left to lead Equestria and unfairly fires and humiliates Raven. Sort of gets blacklisted from every job she would be fit doing. She starts seeing the flaws in Canterlot and feels empty without her old job, so he tries to walk to another town, but gets confronted by more and more untimely threats on her way. Just like Falling Down, she starts to snap and makes her stance on things she couldn't before. Will she meet the same fate though?

It's pretty stupid now that I think of it, but ever since I saw Raven, I always got this image in my head. All she wanted was breakfast :(
