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

In fairness, they WERE following the safety codes of the time.

The safety codes of the time were just shit and outdated.

"... And by the fortieth day if the bird returneth with an olive branch then we eat the bird because he ate olives and will be tastier for it"

Are you using the Bible for modern ship safety proceedures?

"And Lo on the sixth day we eat the non believers."

Yeah no they didn't follow one of the most important codes. They didn't have enough life boats because they didn't want the extra weight slowing it down. That was definitely not safe but they let them get away with it because the ship was "unsinkable"

Incorrect. The ship had MORE lifeboats than the codes required at the time.

It's just that, as I said, the codes were outdated.
