How can you let the Audience to know that Ex-Aid will be darker than Ghost?

That's why he doesn't want people to like Genm so much.

First of all, edit spoilers in the post, because it's really inconsistent when you spoiled it in your last post. Second, one must remember that the entire franchise with the exception of Amazonz is meant for kids too, Japanese parents weren't happy with the decision of having that in a Christmas episode. You can let the audience know it's getting darker without a dark Christmas special. Genm Zombie's concept alone makes Ex-Aid darker than Ghost, an immortal enemy who's intelligent and the big bad fighting against people who CAN die makes Genm more dark than most, if not all Ghost's villains. And that last part would forget a major detail. People LOVE villains when they're done right. Have you SEEN the positive reception to Yoshikage Kira?
