Why would it be censored? It isn’t obscene. And it isn’t designed for 8 year olds. it’s audience is 44 year old men in Cnada.

@zenvelo Lol. I guess talking about killing everyone in existence is par for the course? Marvel did it so why not DC comics?

Maybe it is trying to sneak philosophy knowledge into kids adult shows. Like Nihilism. I guess it is taking more and more to shock an audience?

I guess I just asked this question to share with Fluther?

1. Censors don’t censor things based on being “too deep for 8-year olds”.

2. This is said by a crazy a super-hero cartoon hero dressed in an own-themed leotard, mask and cape.

3. This scene points to the meaninglessness of comic book multiverses, and time travel theories, and actually isn’t above 8-year olds. I was thinking about infinite universes before I was 8, in more sophisticated ways than this guy.

4. If I were a producer or continuity editor for this show (not a censor), I would point out that while this is an interesting perspective, it doesn’t really seem to make complete sense, or I’m missing something, because it seems to me that destroying one planet with a bomb is not going to have an effect on its past, nor on the existence of other planets. (Or are those supposedly retroactively formed in the future somehow?)

It is pretty dark, I will say.

Cartoons can get away with things that would be censure if it were live action.
Ren & Stimpy, Bugs Bunny, Donald Duck all have highly objectionable moments.

More than enough plots and ideas do get rejected by studios and producers based on arbitrary unfounded fears and an vicious money-driven desire for the supposed safety and profitability of derivative drivel.
