Already explained some: The Huntsman set the general standard and didn't stand out often in tone despite being evil, Bill hardly stood out enough with dark elements happening beforehand, Shan Yu appeared and was about the threat expected from the audience, Commander Rourke's film wasn't exactly lighthearted beforehand. Sonic has had several dark characters who've tried to destroy the world to a point it's not borderline unheard of like it requires, Emperor Palpatine might be a dark character but it's a dark/serious setting overall, Carnage isn't out of place enough overall since the 1990's series tried to be serious, Bleach is a serious and somewhat dark series from the start etc..

A Game Changer is a character that's pretty much unheard of for that series not simply a dark character with the series needing to be lighthearted abd borderline comedy. Basically it's the kind of dark like an example use to be if it still isn't "a Serial Killer in MLP" dark vs just a little edgy or dark.
