miscellaneous [Dark Trope] Implied child death

• 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

If you’re asking what happens in the movie, she gives birth and her husband’s “fans” want to see the baby. After the destruction they’ve caused to her house it’s apparent what happens next. Pretty sure they mob mentality up and just rip that baby apart in a fit of fanaticism. The whole movie is a very on the nose allegory with the father being god, the mother is Mother Earth and I guess the people are people. Multiple interpretations but the director is very Christian or at least uses his beliefs to inform his filmmaking.
