Family-Unfriendly Death/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Jonny Quest: The Real Adventures|The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest]]'' was filled to the brim with not very child friendly deaths. For example inIn one episode the villain '''was impaled on Elephant bones'''. Another villain was shot to death with a machine gun.

** The episode where an undersea lab is attacked by what can only be described as sabertoothed C.H.U.Ds. As the survivors of the attack are making their way to escape pods, one lady scientist stops to try and grab the body of one of the dead creatures "for future study" (with the entire group yelling at her not to go near it). Whoops! [[Not Quite Dead]]! The scene cuts to a [[Gory Discretion Shot]], but the clear implication is that the creature ''bit the woman's face off''.

** In the same episode, creatures like dog-sized piranhas with legs got onto the submarine after EATING A WHALE TO NOTHING BUT BONES ONSCREEN, and in one scene while they were running for their lives from the creatures, a female scientist was too slow, and we got a shot of the creatures swarming her as Race was forced to slam the door shut to prevent them from getting to the rest of them all, and you hear the woman being graphically devoured, complete with squelchy crunching sounds.

** A line from the original series, as Dr. Quest tends the injuries of a [[The Mole|spy in the police department]]: "It would be better if he were to die, Doctor. If he lives, he will be shot as a traitor."

** And then we have "More Than Zero", the last episode of the ''Real Adventures'' series ever produced. It took the [[Nightmare Fuel]] [[Up to Eleven]]. While investigating a haunted house, two scientists get thrown into a room with the walls rapidly closing in on them. And, unlike most situations like that on the show, they die ''horribly'' offscreen. Not to mention the Lovecraftian appearance of the ghost itself and the caretaker dissolving into dust at the end.

** In the movie Jonny's Golden Quest Dr. Zin betrays a scientist named Dr. Devlin who had come to work for him by blasting him with a laser cannon causing Dr. Devlin's skin to melt off until he's a charred black skeleton and crumbles to ash while screaming in agony the whole time!

** There was also the episode in which Race and the boys faced off against a man who had a literal shadow puppet monster which had already killed several, and could reach them anywhere, at any time, and couldn't be killed since it was just a shadow, so they couldn't shoot it or capture it. Logically, they thought that if they turned out the lights, it would cease to exist. They were wrong-all that did was make the monster invisible!

** Another from the original series had two villains pursuing the Quest group in a canoe which Race manages to sink. Looking almost as if they're smirking, several crocodiles slide into the river. One of the bad guys shouts that he can't swim, the other replies, "Well, you'd better learn fast!" ... and then their screams are utterly horrific, making it '''quite''' clear that the crocs are taking them before they have time to drown....
