1'''Basic Trope''': A sequel, remake, or adaptation of a work is much more violent than the original.
2* '''Straight''': The original work made frequent use of [[GoryDiscretionShot Gory Discretion Shots]], but the remake shows everything in its full glory.
3* '''Exaggerated''': The original work had no violence whatsoever, but the remake is full of {{Gorn}}.
4* '''Downplayed''':
5** DarkerAndEdgier
6** DenserAndWackier: The original work was pale and subdued, but the sequel is full of cartoonish violence.
7** The original work had a scene of a guy cutting himself. The remake ups the ante by showing visible blood, but there is no violence other than that.
8** Both works have roughly the same level of violence, but while the original had cartoonish, stylized violence, the remake is much more brutal and realistic in comparison.
9* '''Justified''': The original work's use of BloodlessCarnage and {{Gory Discretion Shot}}s was very awkward and was the result of [[{{Bowdlerize}} censorship]], so the new film adaptation just showed the violence instead.
10** In later seasons, the KnightOfCerebus shows up, and his scenes demand nothing less than an increase in the violence.
11* '''Inverted''': The LighterAndSofter film adaptation removes all the violence that was in the original.
12* '''Subverted''': The trailer for the film adaptation makes it look much more violent than the original, but [[NeverTrustATrailer it's actually not]].
13* '''Double Subverted''': ...At least, until the second half of the film rolls along, and makes Creator/QuentinTarantino look like Creator/WaltDisney.
14* '''Parodied''': The remake starts with a scene of ridiculously over-the-top violence, then cheerily informs the viewer that now that they've gotten the obligatory violence increase done with, the story can continue as planned.
15* '''Zig Zagged''': Different parts of the film adaptation switch rapidly back and forth when it comes to the amount of violence.
16* '''Averted''': The adaptation or remake has the same amount of violence as the original.
17* '''Enforced''': The violent content is upped because the people producing the new version feel that the current version won't lure in audiences enough.
18* '''Lampshaded''': "Are my adventures supposed to be this bloody?"
19* '''Invoked''': "[[DenserAndWackier Ahahahaha]]! [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 SO MUCH BLOOD]]! [[BloodKnight Awesome]]! Just what my adventures needed before!"
20* '''Exploited''': Bob the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]] can drink the blood, and will never have to go to a store again.
21* '''Defied''': "Oh God, [[{{Squick}} this is disgusting]]! From this point on, [[ThouShaltNotKill I only use tranquilizer darts]]!"
22* '''Discussed''': "I don't quite remember my first adventure, but I'm sure there were no blood puddles or decapitations involved back then." "[[FridgeLogic Now that you said it]], I don't remember flooding everything with blood either."
23* '''Conversed''': "Violence isn't why people like that work! Why'd they add it to the new adaptation? That seems to happen a lot."
24* '''Deconstructed''':
25** The sequel of not particularly violent work is full of blood and gore. Characters are not happy.
26** The sequel (or remake) of a not particularly violent ShowWithinAShow is hated by the viewers who loved (and hoped for) the original's lack of violence (or accepted things becoming more "[[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids cynical]]" but not "Rated R for On-Screen Chainsaw Gutting" "cynical"). Unsurprisingly, the follow-up work bombs.
27* '''Reconstructed''':
28** The sequel of not particularly violent work is full of blood and gore...AndThereWasMuchRejoicing?
29** Alternatively, the TokenEvilTeammate is delighted at the turn of events.
30** For a value of "reconstructed": The more violent version of the work gets a sequel and additional ExpandedUniverse sub-works that make it stand further apart from the one-and-done original. The [[{{Pun}} new blood]] loves it.
31* '''Played For Laughs''': BloodyHilarious.
