Does anyone remember that pokemon episode where an unexplained giant Magikarp almost lands on and kills Ash, only for a swole and tanned Nurse Joy to show up, force feed it a whole bottle of opiates, and then effortlessly overhead-press the one-ton fish before throwing it into the ocean, all in the space of about 30 seconds
Lauren Montgomery said in an interview once that the episode where Allura died in 80s Voltron traumatized her when she watched it as a child because she was a strong female character she could look up to, and then rebooted the show, made a Black Princess for little girls to look up to, and then up and killed her off, fully knowing it would be traumatizing to them. that’s not just carelessness on the writers’ part. that is downright purposefully violent and sadistic.
