And while we're in a comic book thread, pretty much any X Men cartoon ever made. Wolverine is basically useless. He'll get all pissed off, *snikt*, bear down on the enemy all intimidating-like, then...... slash his gun in half? I never noticed as a kid but they were trying to spare us the gore, I guess.

That's an understandable point. It's not really what I'm addressing though. Destroying robots and killing humans are just totally different things in my eyes. I feel the whole purpose of this trend is to deceive parents to get more kids into the theater.
I'm sure you've noticed the trend... it's why we now have PG (13) die hard and robocop movies.
