I remember the X-Men animated series substituted the word "death" with "destroy"

This makes me think of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

"Did Jet just die? I don't know, it was really unclear."

It's a line from one of the last episodes of the series, where the characters go to a play about the series up to that point, and where said play does nothing but make fun of a lot of the criticism that the creators received.

It's pretty glorious.

"Eliminate them!" "Destroy them!"

Ha, in DBZ they could call it whatever they wanted and it'd still be ridiculous. Dying was basically just hanging out on another planet.

Dude, I totally love watching the original Ocean dub of DBZ's first season! So many memories...

My favorite bits were when Nappa blew up the "Cargo plane" [and it's cargo was PEOPLE!:lol:] and when the Saiyens crash landed in the middle of a busy city and somebody yelled out "Thank goodness it was a Sunday or those buildings would have had people in them!"

In order to truly enjoy the humor of TeamFourStar's DBZ Abridged, you have to be familiar with the original US edits.

Also, it's ironic that DBZ fans got into a big stink about all the "butchering" and "censoring" in the original dub, yet now the DBZ Kai series pretty much makes editing a priority and fans just keep buying the stuff again!

I remember being surprised as a kid when Morph died on the X-Men. It was revealed the next season that he got better, but still, it was a surprise to see a superhero die.

I had no knowledge of redshirts at the time. Seeing as he wore the generic X-Men uniform, it's no surprise now.

In the 1987 TMNT cartoon itself, the alien in the first "Eye Of Sarnoff" cartoon disappears in a puff of smoke.

In the 1960's Underdog cartoon, Underdog kills the Wicked Witch Of Pickayoon indirectly by breaking apart her magic broom, after which she shrinks and disappears, leaving just a few black scraps behind.

In a Tom and Jerry cartoon depicting revolutionary France, you see the top of a guillotine and its blade start to fall to signify an execution.

I remember that actually disturbing me as a little kid. Especially Jerry's young mouse nephew cheerfully saying "goodbye, pussycat" after watching it happen and continuing on his merry way with his stolen food. I guess it was how blase Jerry and the kid was about it. Especially since it was made clear in the episode that Tom would be executed for

I personally hate baby words for "death and dying." They always come out awkward and often sound dumb. Some eightes cartoons got away with saying the real words.

03-04-2012, 08:56 PM

I remember in Sonic X a woman name Molly gets killed fighting, but in the 4kids dub they made her run away like a coward. Now that show is not a masterpiece in any language, but really? You take a brave character and make her run away?

I don't know what makes mentioning death in cartoons so evil? It's not like it is going to scar kids for the rest of their lives as long as they don't go into detail about how someone died?

Whenever a villain in a cartoon actually tells the hero they are going to kill them, I actually get happy because they used that word instead of "destroy." I always think back to the pilot episode of Darkwing Duck when the bad guys say die and dead multiple times!

Been watching Exosquad lately and am totally delighted that the studios never made the creators mask the horrors of war. People die left and right in every episode, sometimes even onscreen, and all sorts of horrible stuff goes on, like transports of human prisoners being sent into the sun. The other more adult cartoons from the early '90s, like Batman and X-Men, rarely were allowed to get away with death.

Star Blazers and Robotech managed to get aired with death scenes intact. (ironically, Robotech's Macross Saga has a higher body count than its original source material)

Transformers also had a death as well, if I recall correctly. "War Dawn", I think.

The thing about Tom and Jerry cartoons is that no matter what happened to the characters in the end of any given episode, you knew they'd be right back to the cat-n-mouse game in the next episode. It's similar to some of the old Looney Tunes shorts where some major characters like Daffy occasionally died and went to hell. That's just how animation rolled back in the mid-twentieth century!

No, but the topic is death in cartoons, and South Park is still a cartoon although it's aimed at adults and not kids.

And I agree about Looney Tunes. Wile E. Coyote was always the target for death, but he always came back to try and catch the Road Runner. Beep! Beep!

...erm, not really. I kind of wanted to stomp on that little french mouse after that. My feelings on this episoide are still the same after all these years. Sometimes I actually felt more for Tom than Jerry, even though Tom was normally the one who started it.

I guess it is a weord double standard because Bugs Bunny coulkd be a bully at times even when the other started it and I was always fine with it. In fact when ever Bugs go up against that turtle I would get made because Bugs came out the loser in those cartoons, and some how became a dumbass on the same level of Elmer Fudd. WTF? To me that just wasn't right, Bug's should always be on top. And yet I didn't mind when one of his normal adversaries got one over him. Like the short where Elmer Fudd torments Bug's with a paint brush! That was genuanly amusing.

There are rules when it comes to Bugs. He wins when going against dimwits but his overconfidence gets the best of him when going up against characters like Cecil. I forgot where I read that, though.

I noticed someone wonder if we didn't see off-screen human death caused by action in the "Big Cufflink Caper" 1987 TMNT episode inside the candy factory. Actually, Michelangelo first saves April and Irma from being dipped in that hot candy, then Leonardo kicks down the gangsters in the vat. It seemed that if April and Irma would fall down there, dying.

Eh, it probably just depended on the animation director and the era.

Looney Tunes characters certainly underwent character evolution over time.

Tex Avery directed the first "Tortoise and the Hair" inspired Bugs cartoon and he portrayed Bugs into an almost Daffy Duck-like character. In 1941, Bugs still sported his old animation design seen in earlier shorts, which often had him acting far less cool and suave as the world would come to know him in time. The Tortoise was one of the few characters (like the Gremlin) to really get under Bugs's skin. Bob Clampett made a sequel two years later with a redesigned Bugs model who was still bitter about his defeat.

Daffy Duck himself started out as a hyper-active character who gradually grew into the cynical, jealous deviant under Chuck Jones. I think John K. really resents Jones for that too. Jones also perfected the notion of Bugs as the all-wise character who almost never got frustrated or outwitted.

I remember renting Watership Down at a video store when I was 5. I was expecting a happy cartoon about cute little rabbits. Within the first 15 minutes I was tramitized by what I saw. My mother heard me crying in the other room, she ran to the tv set and turned off the film. I remember when she held me in her arms and comforted me afterwords, she was such a loving person. We returned to the video store and my mother complained to the cashier that the film shouldn't be put under the the "Kids and Family" section. They didn't listen seeing as the tape still remained there until the day the store shut down.

I've been watching the 2k3 series from the beginning and the amount of "I will end you"s that I'm hearing are like nails on a chalk board. I just want to shout for them to come out and say "I'm going to kill you"

Hell, If you've played TMNT 2: Battle Nexus the final fight with Shredder on the ship was awesome, I remember playing and Shredder saying something along the lines of "This time, I will finally banish you all to hell!" Could not believe my ears.

I'm also a little disappointed at how many characters tend to not die... I mean, Stockman is ok because it's his thing, but bringing him back after "Insane in the membrane" was a total joke. That was an awesome send off to Baxter.

The only character I can think of right now that died and STAYED dead was Zog, and that sucks because I loved Zog. :(

And what all the foots soldiers that "died" by the hands of the turtles. The episode where the foot jump the turtles in their own home had a scene where Raph is trying to get on an elevator and several foot jump in after him and he emerges he all alone. Not even a shot showing that the foot were knocked out and moaning on the ground inside the elevator.

I've been watching the original edited English dub of Dragon Ball Z and have been having a good laugh at the euphemism for death, saying that characters were "sent to another dimension." It is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I know you can't have too much death and destruction in cartoons for kids, but some of the lengths censors go to keep it from them are outlandish.

Thoughts?

I love the "sent to another dimension" thing from DB, specially cause it leaves u guessing whether they mean heaven or hell or other. Also the way they sent eachother to the other dimension

Other cartoons have done I'm sure weirder stuff.

Sailor Moon was interesting for deaths also

Hell, If you've played TMNT 2: Battle Nexus the final fight with Shredder on the ship was awesome, I remember playing and Shredder saying something along the lines of "This time, I will finally banish you all to hell!" Could not believe my ears.

The line is actually "This time, I will finally dispatch you to hell" as seen in this video at 1:25.

I remember watching an old anime version of the little mermaid in which the prince dumps her and she turns into bubbles and dies in the end.. Totally freaked me out

That is actually the original fairy tale of Adersen's Little Mermaid. The mermaid dies in teh end and she turns into bubbles.

Im surprised noone mentioned Mufasa's death in Lion King. I remember the first time I saw it in the cinema I was shocked. The second time I saw it in videotape I was crying like crazy...

I felt the same way when I saw that. Oh, there was also the death of Dan Turpin from Superman TAS, where Darkseid killed him in part 2 of "Apokolips...Now!".

I remembered some other deaths:
1) In Mulan Shang's father died in battle (it didnt show it, only that the army arrived too late and Chie-en-poh *am I spelling it right?* gave Shang his father's helmet.

2)In Pocahontas the death of her fiance whose name I cant remember right now.

3)In Tarzan the chief's gorilla's death( the adoptive father of Tarzan).

4)In Treasure Planet that alien guy at the beginning of teh movie who gave Jim the map.

5)In Chicken Run a hen was bucthered because she couldnt lay eggs anymore.

I used to own this version you speak of. It was beautifully animated. It was also very sad. I felt so horriable for Marina, you could really see how much the Prince marrying that other girl destroyed her.

I love how intese these old cartoons could be. Especially when she goes in to stab the prince.

The sea witch in this one was genuanly scarey
