[Dark Trope] Implied child death

[u/Argie_Theft_Auto3]

• Family Guy - In a deleted scene, Evil Stewie is shown entering the bully's house and giving him a noogie. It seems rather harmless until Stewie mentions "Why's his knuckle turning red?" Then screams of the bully are heard, implying that Evil Stewie noogied his head so hard it punched a hole through the bully's head.

• Old (2021) - In a deleted cold opening, a man is shown crawling and shouting for help in the aging island. What makes this more terrifying is that this person could originally have been a baby or child, it's implied since he's walking on all fours

Idk about the guy in the Old opening being a baby. He's clearly saying the word "help", somthing a baby couldn't do. Plus, you can hear another voice with him.

Well, some audiences speculate that it was a child or baby turned into an adult in just a span of hours. You are free to correct me whether or not it's true, since this is a deleted scene from the movie.

The clothes also seem to fit, and clothes wouldn't 'grow' with the person's body. I haven't seen the scene, though. Just going by the shot you provided.

[u/Kid-Grey-Nah → u/Ritoki]

It's just the guy screaming for help. It's also implied he has others with him, cause you can hear other people screaming for help.

 u/Kid-Grey-Nah is saying that physically aging rapidly would not cause a baby to learn to speak English.

They would just scream gibberish

yeah but that sucks and is boring.

nothing is worse than the average layman coming up with a better idea than someone who’s entire job revolves around making great ideas.

it kind of proves the point that the most talented/gifted people aren’t always in the “limelight” and are just kind of hidden in the shadows of society without a chance to spread their wings.
