Didn't a Spiderman comic do that? He was the teacher for the Xmen Special Class and they got locked in a cell by Sauron. One member, Goop I think, is a slime based mutant and they all hyped him up to slip through the bars. He gets stuck halfway through because they forgot his skeleton structure is still intact.

Almost every instance you see of Silver Age Hal doing something retarded is actually explained by mind control or some other story gimmick. Why Gardner Fox made Hal the target of these things more than 90% of the time is a mystery, but in this specific instance it's simply to justify how Owlman can be a threat to Green Lantern.

I know, this ruins the fun myth of Hal being an idiot, but in my heart of hearts, he really is that dumb and the mind control/brain drains are just excuses he comes up with to protect his ego.

I find this is a weird one.
In Dan Vs, for example, they use the word kill plenty of times, but when used in relation to the actual act of killing, they shy away from it and Dan uses "cupcake" as a joke and explains around it.
Gumball does it too, Nicole has a line saying "I'll kill him", but for the most part they're not allowed to use the word.

Anyone know what the wording on the censor is? It never seems to be consistent

>>95340717
Are they talking faster than sound too? Because fight scenes aside, the speaking scenes last longer than the time limit for most 'X is about to explode' scenes.

>>95340750
Let's be real. A lot of the time there are inner monologues which could easily be addressed as only taking a split second in real time.

>>95340738

That was different in that episode Dan was trying to frame Elise's dad as apart of the Mafia and used "cupcake" as mafia slang.

Took me a while

>>95340995
Yeah I know, I just couldn't be bothered explaining it. The point is within the Series, they say kill plenty of times, but even when Dan was explaining what "cupcake" meant to the officer, he skirted around saying kill explicitly like they weren't allowed to.

It seems cartoons can only use it when they're not seriously talking about killing, and are saying it more passively or in jest, but what's weird is they can use it

>>95340738
IIRC one time during banned autist-summoner show someone actually threatened to outright kill the main character, but was censored to "destroy" in all future airings.

yes this is literally why they include wide shots where the characters are just faint motion lines darting around the screen, they ARE fast

Goku was moving so fast against Vegeta during their fight that from Vegeta's perspective Goku was fucking teleporting, and that was just the Saiyan arc, when they were a fraction of a fraction as powerful as they were during the final battle on Namek

This honestly doesn't happen much in current shows nowadays. Star VS., a TV-Y7 show, actively uses the words "kill" and "death" all the damn time. It's only really jarring if you watch stuff like AtLA which was made in a time when that was an issue.

>>95345213
This. Even Harvey Beaks of all shows used the words "die" and "kill".
