Well, I can't speak as much to movies because I never really paid attention, but it has bothered me in cartoons.
I happened to watch some clips of the old Samurai Jack cartoon on YouTube the other day and that mother****er was killing everybody. No mercy.. But the show made it "ok" by making everyone he fought a robot or a shadow monster. No blood, no guts- only oil and black, shadowy goo.
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.
