I feel like these days it's much more common for cartoons to say kill/die and have real guns than the opposite, past few years really let them get away with more.
It's to the point that I can't really think of a recent cartoon that actually does do these things. I guess Voltron has laser guns that are never really effective but that's it.

It felt so satisfying to not here characters say "destroy" for once.

Well, the show had regular use of die, death, etc. It also had guns that shot bullets and occasional smoking

I here kill and die all the time in kids cartoons
This is an outdated meme. The last show I remember avoiding it was ATLA and that was 10 years ago.
Everyone fucking died in Batman: The Brave and the Bold, for example.

Bwanna beast was truly the greatest of heroes. Don't even know if he's dead in comics, but after watching the show, i want him all in vixen.

This one always gets me. It's teaching kids that guns aren't really deadly weapons of war, they just shoot harmless lasers!
