It's like you people forgot that stuff aimed at kids can be dark. Yeah, but this is a game about Zombies coming in hordes towards you to eat your brains and you using plants to kill them, dismembering them in the process. Now see how PopCap presents this to its audience and decide if the game being "dark" is their intent. I'm thinking of Gravity Falls and The Incredibles here.
 * Pompeii before the eruption: Not interesting, and it wasn't a "lost city" then.
 * Pompeii during the eruption: This is downright sick
 * Pompeii after the eruption: Bodies frozen in place covered in volcanic ash. Pretty damn dark.

In the second most recent episode, blood was spewing from animal heads mounted on the wall. Oh, and Alex Hirsch confirmed death(s) for some unspecified characters sometime soon.

Anybody remember the attempted suicide in The Incredibles? Attempted murder? Dead body? For a Disney movie, that is as dark as it gets.
