Talk:Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 2/@comment-26973802-20131106053944/@comment-4531340-20131108171907

I dunno about Sir Lionel, but as for the first, that was from a movie, where (for some reason) it's more acceptable to talk about death in a work intended for kids; probably because the assumption is their parents are there right next to them and can comfort them/explain about it afterwards. For the third and fourth, not only are those from movies, but they're from Japan, where death is much less of a cultural taboo (well, bringing it up, anyway). Hell, some episodes of the original Japanese version of Pokemon mentioned Heaven and Hell (and god(s), as once again, bringing those up in kids' shows aren't a cultural taboo like they are here in America). For instance, let's take a look at an exchange that was rewritten for the English dub of episode 3, with the English exchange first (to give you a sense of where it happened, hopefully): Ash: "I love my new little Pokémon!" Misty: "I guess it takes a work to love a worm." Ash: "Very funny." And now from the Japanese (for reference, Satoshi = Ash, and Kasumi = Misty, though you'd probably have figured that out, haha) Satoshi: "My Pokemon's Heaven is also my Heaven!" Kasumi: "You guys' Heaven is my Hell." Satoshi: "OK, OK, I get it."
