I liked how they treated it like not everything could be perfect. Most kids' films are too sanitary anyway. I loved lines like, "They will kill you if they get the chance." It makes the danger more real. And it's not as though they showed every superhero getting killed. It was just information on the screen. The DVD extras do make you know those superheroes a bit better, but it's not graphic, and you don't get upset because these are people you know. The emotion comes from what it does to Bob, who you do know and should feel a connection with at this point. As far as the other deaths, the cape montage that Edna gives is the funniest thing in that entire movie. It cracks me up every time. I'm glad they didn't dance around death and have bad guys be beaten but escape, and see parachutes off in the distance, or make some cop out line like, "He's in the hospital." Ah. Now I suddenly have the need to watch that movie again. Awesome stuff!
