[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

That Old scene sounds fucked up, they should have kept it.

That entire movie is just a deeply squandered premise. It should have had the tone of that deleted scene but I guess they thought it might be too fucked up for general audiences. Just forgettable. At least make something fucked up and memorable.

My dad is an animator who worked on that movie and he was really bummed about the reception it got. Fortunately I was able to explain to him that the part he worked on was one of the few parts that was well done and that people actually thought was pretty dope, the part where the woman with the bone disease is chasing the kids through the cave as her bones keep breaking and revealing.
