Somebody has been watching too much T.V.
Might make for a fun adventure or two though.

too much 80's TV.
modern cartoons tend to be violent, though not gory. people are allowed to die. and your allowed a real plot, not just "villan of the day".
thanks to Anime. Robotech turned the whole concept on it's ear. later imports kept the effect snowballing.

which is a damn good thing.
there's one thing that I kept not understanding when I was watching X-Men cartoon they ran in the mid 90's.
Wolverine has claws that can cut though anything....
SO WHY THE HELL DOES NO ONE EVER ACTUALLY GET CUT!?!

because he never uses those claws against people, animals, or the like.
just the scenery. call it a holdover from the 80's.

I'd kill myself if I found myself in one of those games... Most of my gaming sessions are at least as bloody and uneditied Japanese Anime (Imaging a Chimra taking a T.K leap hit and going into the negeitives equal to it's S.D.C.). Just makes things more, colorfull...(Even more so when I start to deal with M.D guns.
I did always love how the X-Man wolverine would always conventely miss human targets, mabye cutting a shirt, but then out came the sentenals, and he'd start lopping heads off.

Getting a mage to tell you where the hydra is...10,000 gold
Hiring a summoner... 40,000 gold
Hiring one hundred 10th level mercenaries... 98,567 gold
Giving a hydra skull to your necromancer... priceless
Board? Read bad fan fiction!

In the old days, Wolvie used to puch his Claws through every third Human Being, or so it seemed.....
And his Adamantium Claws, CAPABLE OF CUTTING THROUGH AND PIERCING ANYTHING, would stab clean through the Target in one thrust, but always, always get stopped by the Person's ultra-flimsy Clothing.

I remember having the same problem with He-Man.
He has a magic sword that he uses constantly, but NEVER once just cuts or stabs anybody with it.

They get around it these days by making all the enemies robots, or evil aliens or monsters. Look at Samurai Jack, every enemy is a robot or monster so it's OK when he cuts them in half and gets sprayed with "oil" (read: black blood) as their bodies split into two pieces. It's the only way a western cartoon can look like an anime.
The word "THAN" is important. Something is "better than" something else, not "better then", it's "rather than" not "rather then".

Or the Voltron solution: Ro-beasts, which implies BOTH!

Yeah, those were hilarious. Especially GI Joe...a guy runs down a hallway with half a dozen people shooting at him and no one can hit!
I was joking with someone a while ago about making an "A-Team" style RPG set.
Instead of Hit Points, people would have "Cool Points" which they would lose when getting shot at and eventually have to give up when they ran out of cool.
Weapons would have a "Property Damage" score to indicate how well they can blow up scenery. Blowing up scenery impressively is good for knocking the enemies next to it down a lot of CPs.
Thats freaking great!
Don't forget to start everyone off with the jury-rig skill!

or they'd just eject instead of trying to throw chaff, Flares, or perform evasive manuvers.
interestng trivia, the orginal GI-JOE episodes didn't have that, but the american producers made the artists add people bailing out in time. something about "people can't die"

a D-Bee may qualify as a black Person (like in Stargate)
You may also overlap, like having a disabled black guy, or a D-Bee skate boarder
