Changed lines 10 from:
For one reason or another, children's shows also shy away from using "God." Whenever religion comes into play, it is generally replaced with [[LowestCosmicDenominator something along the lines of "the big guy"]]. This one also has its roots in ancient tradition: in Judaism, pronouncing Yahweh's name without being a trained priest is considered to be irreverent, hence the custom of saying "Lord" instead of "God". Never mind the wide range of people in TheBible who have said it, priests and non.

* Averted in ''{{Gargoyles}}'', most notably at the end of "Hunter's Moon: Part One", where [[spoiler:Goliath - the ''hero'', keep in mind - is enraged at the Hunters after they mortally wound his daughter, and swears that "I will hunt ''them'' down - and I will ''kill'' them."]] (Series creator Greg Weisman had to fight for this one.)

* ''SamuraiJack'': In Episode XXX, "Jack and the Zombies" (how ironic), Aku summarizes his hatred of Jack:
--> ''"Samurai, samuarai, why won't you DIE?!"''
to:
* ''SamuraiJack'': Averted [[LargeHam with gusto]] by Aku in Episode XXX, ironically titled "Jack and the Zombies".

Added line 320:
* New Super Mario Bros Wii's instruction manual quite glaringly refers to "blunder" and "make a mistake" rather than death. [[WallBanger It still says you "lose a life" though.]]

* ''PokemonSpecial'' loves subverting this every chance it gets.
to:
** One of the very first episodes has the Squirtle Squad kidnap Misty. In the original, they threaten to kill her -- in the dub, they threaten to dye her hair purple. [[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]] of course, but the dub line might actually be [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment cooler]] in this case.
*** ''PokemonSpecial'' however, loves subverting this every chance it gets.

**This is the ''Marvel Universe''. It is a physical impossibility for a person to stay dead there, so it's not as lunatic as it might first seem.
