Sandbox / Gorn Wick Check

Wick check for Gorn

Gushing/Overly Detailed Gore (9/68), 13%:

• Music.Belphegor: Gorn: Featured heavily in their live shows and in a bit more of a literal sense than usual in their lyrics. There's also the video for "Impaled Upon the Tongue of Sathan", which features a bloodsoaked naked woman dressed as Baphomet stuffing and driving nails into what appears to be the butchered remains of animals.
• The Last of Us Part II: Gorn: Oh, so very much, even overlapping with the Darker and Edgier and Bloodier and Gorier tropes mentioned above. This game absolutely does NOT shy away from even the tiniest grisly details in this regard. To elaborate, the whole game has frequently graphic and disturbing content in the form of extremely brutal, vicious, messy, gory violence, as well as large quantities of excessive, brutal, hyper-gory carnage; realistic, prolonged, brutal sequences of genuinely gory mayhem; unfathomable levels of disturbingly realistic gore; ultra-bloody dismemberment; scarily realistic, gory brutality; explicit hellish torture; grotesque surreal body horror; incredibly gruesome, cringeworthy, remarkably detailed and suitably nasty sound effects; hideously detailed, layer-by-layer body damage; and much, MUCH more. All of this paints the image of a game that can only rival Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, Mortal Kombat 11, Killing Floor 2, Doom Eternal, Dead Space 2 and other similarly incredibly violent and extremely bloody video games that are guaranteed to make you wince uncomfortably in disgust and try taking a batch of Brain Bleach. Side Note: The entry for Bloodier and Gorier on the same page is even worse. Sheesh.
• VideoGame.Aliens Vs Predator 2010: Gorn:
  • The demo showed how the Predator can collect trophies by ripping off marines' heads, with the faces twitching in shock while the still-attached spinal cord flails around.
  • All the Alien special kills apply as well.
• Splinter: * Gorn: We've got a parasite that breaks the bones of its host and turns them into violent, mutilated zombies, then Dennis graphically hacks off his own arm to stop the infection from consuming him as well.
• Shing!: * Gorn: In most beat 'em ups, the violence can be pretty tame with opponents just getting knocked-out. Not in this one, here one can bisect, dissect, decapitate, defenestrate, amputate and, probably, discombobulate, every Yokai encountered. (side note: "this ain't your grandma's beat-em-up!" —midna)
• Awesome.Iron Fist 2017: The memories teaser shows Danny having a flashback of him and David fighting in Kun-Lun, and it is a bloody Gorn fest. As a bonus, both of them are wearing the comic accurate Iron Fist mask!
• Characters.X Men Film Series Wolverine: ** Becomes Mr. Fan Disservice in Logan due to his failing Healing Factor with his many Shirtless Scenes showing off several ugly scars, and as the movie drags on, many gaping and still-bleeding wounds. The climax of X-Men: The Last Stand and opening of The Wolverine can count in that as well, since he's left shirtless after having his entire skin flayed off.
• Fanfic.The Wolf Blood Lineage:
  • Gorn: "she shoots the rider`s face, obliterating his head in a thousand of bloody messy pieces of scourged foul brain all over the highway." /
  • The cock fight and ensuing riot afterward in chapter five.
  • Lighter and Softer: As horrifically graphic as the story can get at times, it's actually quite tame compared to the author's other stories. (side note: "you thought THIS story was gory? do I have news for you, buddy!" —midna)
• Recap.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012 S 3 E 3 Buried Secrets: Gorn: Much like the original Thing, the true form of April's mom is incredibly grotesque and resembling guts and muscles being torn inside out.

Potholes Connected to Excessive/Gushing About Gore (7/68, 10%):

• NightmareFuel.Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: During its first usage, we are treated to a scene of a ZAFT soldier struggling before his body expands and his visor is filled with blood as he explodes, with a split-second shot of some of his ribs and his torn-up intestines flying out of his mutilated carcass.
• SugarWiki.Awesome Art: The Genocyber OVAs use some incredibly slick animation and the sheer amount of detail maintained in it's Gorn and Ludicrous Gibs is truly staggering. They basically turn bloodbath's into an artform.
• Website.Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab: Stylistic Suck: A few of their more thematic scents based on unpleasant subject matter deliberately don't smell very pleasant. What would you expect from a perfume called "Gore-Shock"?^note "Pulpy, scorched, pork-like flesh, glistening entrails, and doughy skin with the coppery tang of blood, salty, sweaty musk, filth, and a huff of rusted machinery." - which according to forum reviewers winds up smelling weirdly like smoked ham in practice.
• Combat Pragmatist/Webcomics: *** Shoving a gun up someone's nose, then, when they try to dig it out, hit them with a barstool setting the gun off and driving their arm elbow-deep into their own head, simultaneously.
• Punched Across the Room: * In older versions of Dwarf Fortress, it was not at all uncommon to see a soldier dwarf hit an enemy (or another dwarf) so hard that it would leave a bloody trail several tiles long before impacting a wall and exploding. Now, though these flights are rarer and less ridiculously long, the unfortunate victim now skids and bounces across the floor when thrown, and longer flights tend to turn the victim into a mangled, unrecognizable mess due to each bounce breaking a bone or three.
• Sue Mary: From there things get into weirdness levels rivaling Comics Nix, with attacks by the "unaborted" love child of "a cooger" and Bill O'Reiley, a rap battle between Ceasar and PaRappa the Rapper, and a final showdown where Stephen Jacobs uses his own gutted intestines as nooses to hang the apes with.
• NightmareFuel.Justice League Dark Apokolips War The Teen Titans never stood a chance against the Paradooms, and we have to remember that most of them are teenagers. Among the causalities is Starfire who got ripped in half by a Paradoom, and we see all her internal organs graphically spilled out of her torso!

Nothing Untoward Here (7/68, 10%):

• Manga.Kuro No Maou: Gorn: The series doesn't shy away from people being torn apart and blown up. But so far in the manga, the point where it starts to genuinely get nasty is when Irz is wiped out as you see the crucified corpses of the townsfolk from Kurono's perspective.
• Tropes G to L Gorn: Human-Titan battles get messy fast. Notably and unlike most examples of this trope, when this happens to the humans it tends to be poignant or tragic rather than entertainment factor. When it happens to the Titans, the trope is played more straight.
• Creator.James Gunn: * Gorn: Slither and Super have this in spades, with the former going into Body Horror and the latter veering into Bloody Hilarious.
• Possessor: * Gorn: There isn’t a single death in the movie that doesn’t result in horrific blood loss.
• Film.My Super Psycho Sweet 16: * Gorn: Despite being rated PG-13, the series gets away with a surprising amount of grue. (side note: is it that dark? —midna)
• Film.The Man With The Iron Fists: * Gorn: Oh so much cheesy fake blood, in homage to the special effects of the chop sockiest of kung fu movies.
• Film.I Saw The Devil: * Gorn: The film opens with a brutal bludgeoning and dismemberment and doesn't really ease up on the gore from there.

Zero-Context Examples (12/68, 18%):

• The Age of Desire: Gorn: Quite a lot given this is a story with a monster that likes to rape and kill.
• Series.Harmon Quest: Gorn: Just so you know this show isn't for kids despite being a cartoon about magical creatures saving the world.
• Keyman The Hand Of Judgment: Gorn Frequently, especially towards the middle and end of the story.
• WebAnimation.Medical Island: Gorn: Gore and blood frequently show up. / Grossout Show: Thanks to the Gorn and other reasons like vomiting.
• Rats on Cocaine: * Gorn
• No One Lives: * Gorn (side note: commented out)
• Trepang2: * Gorn: The depiction of body damage is well detailed.
• Recap.SCP Foundation SC Ps 1600 To 1999: Gorn: It's in the title. (side note: on "RONALD REAGAN CUT UP WHILE TALKING" —midna)
• ComicBook.Green Lantern Rebirth: * Gorn: Par for the course considering that Ethan Van Sciver drew the story.
• Film.Las Vegas Bloodbath: * Gorn (side note: commented out)
• Literature.The Iliad: Gorn: Homer gets pretty graphic with the carnage.
• Literature.Chronicle Of A Death Foretold: Santiago’s murder and autopsy.

Fairly Benign Potholes (26/68, 38%):

• Horrible/Advertising: * It's one thing to make ad campaigns that turn viewers off with offensive content, but the ad campaign for Captivity took things even further. The film itself is a survival thriller about a model (Elisha Cuthbert) who's abducted and tries to escape from her captors. Bad enough that the distributor mandated the shooting of several gorn-filled scenes just so they could market it as Torture Porn, but what really sends the ad campaign into Horrible territory is the blatantly NSFW—and quite possibly illegal—way they went about said marketing: they created a series of posters showing Cuthbert's character being abducted, tortured, and murdered (it should be noted that Cuthbert's character actually survives the events of the film), and when the MPAA rejected the campaign they went ahead with it anyway, even putting it in public places where it could be easily seen by children. The outrage was so great, the MPAA outright refused to rate the film until the ad campaign was dropped completely, resulting in a two-month delay. Even with the threat of a nationwide ban averted, the ad campaign still lingered in the minds of those who had to put up with it, resulting in a miserable performance at the box office, complete with two nominations for a Razzie, and the ad campaign has gone on to be seen as the beginning of the end for the torture porn genre as a whole, as afterwards only Saw continued to see new theatrical installments in the years that followed before Paranormal Activity completely changed the direction of horror, finishing the work this ad campaign had started.
• Feel No Pain: * Rainbow Dash's Resurrective Immortality curse in The Many Deaths of Rainbow Dash includes her being unable to feel pain—which is a good thing, considering that most of her titular "many deaths" are ridiculously brutal. In fact, she is numb over all her body and can't feel much of anything. Several times, she takes a bit of time to realize that she's just been grievously injured.
• PsychicPowers.Anime And Manga: From the New World takes place in a world in which everyone possesses extreme telekinesis, being able to do everything from setting things on fire to uprooting trees, to shaping the world around them at the atomic level. The implications of such powerful telekinesis are explored thoroughly throughout the series, including what happens when it goes wrong.
• WMG.Marble Hornets: If I understand the original poster correctly, like Funny Games, but a lot more subtle and without the hypocrisy or rewind button. And, of course, Suspense Horror/third-person Survival Horror instead of physical Torture Gorn.
• ArsonMurderAndJaywalking.Web Original: The wiki Encyclopedia Dramatica has a page called "Offended", devoted to the most obscene and disgusting pictures found on the Internet. After literally ''dozens'' of horrible pictures, it ends by showing George W. Bush.
• Playing with Syringes: Felidae features a lab that is pure horror, as a scientist has Sanity Slippage and begins doing experiments on stray cats, cutting the cats open on the examination table as they screech in agony, in order to test a Healing Factor-inducing serum and create the perfect species of feline. The Big Bad turns out to be Claudandus, a cat who survived the repeated vivisections — because he was the only test subject on whom the serum even worked.
• Nightmare Fuel.Crossed: Really, one needs to just look at the covers to most issues. Each one a macabre mural of madness and murder, each more grotesque than the last. Special mention goes to "torture" variants, which pretty much speak for themselves.
• Trivia.Mortal Kombat 1: Follow the Leader: Any fighting game with either a focus on gore or digitized graphics that came out in the wake of Mortal Kombat was generally considered a knockoff. Admittedly, many of them were, and sometimes it was hard to tell the good ones apart from the rest.
• Webcomic.Hellp: Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: One of team 3's members gets a particularly gruesome and realistic variation of this, complete with agonized screams and helpless flailing.
• Trivia.Past Doctor Adventures: Parody Retcon: Terrance Dicks' novel Warmonger was initially criticised for its gratuitous gorn, cynicism and sexual violence (both threatened and joked about), as well as forcing the Fifth Doctor into the role of a literally jack-booted war leader. However, critics since have suggested that it's so gratuitous it could be intended as deliberate parody of the Darker and Edgier Continuity Porn tone of the Eric Saward era.
• The Song of Saya: Man ends up in freak car accident, is saved by a surgery that gives him permanent Gorn-o-vision, meets a mysterious girl who looks perfectly normal to him. Tragedy ensues.
• Video Games: ** The franchise is usually just over-the-top gorn, but the spinoff Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks has an Easter Egg for Scorpion's spear attack. Randomly he'll shout "Get over here bitch!" and "Get the fuck over here!"
• TheArtifact.The Simpsons: The Itchy & Scratchy Show, meanwhile, is an obvious parody of Tom and Jerry and similar plotless chase cartoons — still sometimes seen in the 1990s, but with a ridiculous amount of Gorn that could never have been aired back then, designed to show how TV is being a negative influence on Bart and Lisa (but mostly Bart). But since the 1990s, shows like South Park and Family Guy could get away with considerably more graphic violence on a regular basis.
• Aqua Teen Hunger Force: * Animated Shock Comedy: While the show always had moments of crude humor, Season 4 really amped up the violence and vulgarity.
• Dramatic Chase Opening: * Mnemosyne opens with Rin, wearing nothing but an unbuttoned dress shirt (and glasses), being chased over the streets, a stairwell, and a rooftop before finally getting killed by Laura. This is used to establish both Rin's immortality and the gory and sexy style of the series.
• Public Service Announcement: Probably the most well known PSA in Germany is Forklift Driver Klaus, which is a hilariously bloody parody. It has become kind of a cult classic, as it has the appearance of a completely average 70's TV production combined with an amount of over the top Gorn way outside what you usually see in German TV. It's also narrated by the narrator of a series of actual road safety PSAs.
• DarthWiki.Wormhole: * Medical Horror: Probably where most of the gorn comes from.
• PlayingWith.Car Fu: * Played For Drama: Bob kills Alice with his car. It leaves an awful lot of blood and gore behind and Bob spends the rest of the series enduring whiplash-related injuries.
• WebVideo.Markiplier: In Mad Father, he used the mini-chainsaw on a random person, causing the person to explode into bloody chunks. While it caused him to have a Heroic BSoD, it was nonetheless the correct solution to advance.
• Heartwarming.The Suffering: For a game as horrifying and stark as The Suffering, it did manage its fair share of touching moments as well.
• Manga.Cage Of Eden: Laser-Guided Karma / Karmic Death: It’s a sound tactic when surviving in Cage of Eden to not do anything evil. Additionally, the more evil a person is, the higher the chance of their gruesome deaths being depicted on-screen. Nicer characters usually get Gory Discretion Shot or Never Found the Body. Cases include:
• MisaimedFandom.Film: A History of Violence goes to great length into showing how traumatizing in real life would be the brutality of your typical action thriller, with all the consequences and unpleasantness, not to mention huge quantities of Gorn. Cue numerous people being excited with the fight scenes. Teens usually cheer during the beat-down of school bullies, even if it's directly followed with a tense scenes about all the consequences of such action.
• MohsScaleOfViolenceHardness.Comic Books: Miracleman ^note  There are several moments of extreme violence throughout Alan Moore's run, but Kid Miracleman's murderous rampage, and the splash panels of gory, apocalyptic imagery left in his wake, drawn in explicit detail, are enough to bring it all the way up to a 10.
• NightmareFuel.City Of Lost Characters: Jack's death on Day 13 from being drenched in a Xenomorph's blood, described in graphic detail. Unsurprisingly, he stress vomits after.
• NinetiesAntiHero.Anime And Manga: Violence Jack: Jack is possibly one of the oldest examples having been created in 1973. The setting of the story is already a nightmarish, gory Post-apocalyptic wasteland, but the moment the titular character appears on the scene, it goes From Bad to Worse after that. Jack is a Villain Protagonist whose only motivation for engaging in the bloody battles he gets involved in is out of mere curiosity or boredom.
• Fanfic.Code Geass Mao Of The Deliverance: * Blown Across the Room: Mao's shotgun tends to have this effect on its victims. Oh, that and backside gorn. / * Gorn: Chapter 12 is just full of it. And Chapter 20 will make you cringe. Or laugh.

Multiple/Unclear/Other (4/68, 6%):

• Splatterhouse: A man wearing an Evil Mask punches through various monsters as he tries to save his girlfriend. Body Horror and Gorn galore.
• [Trope Name]: * Example of gorn from Happy Tree Friends.
• Fan Works: Many villains, both Original and canon, in Ruby and Nora count, but none more than this story's version of Neo. She's a sadistic maniac who's introduction includes a level of violence that can only be described as absolute Gorn. When she hijacks an Atlesian airship, she has her fun blowing ships out of the sky.

• Laconic.Adjustable Censorship: Choose how much sexy censorship and bloody censorship you want HERE.
• Sandbox.Hunger Games Simulation Players N To Z: Gorn: His gruesome death at the hands of an eldritch Nemo is described in extreme detail, due to The Meme Man's hosting tendencies.
• Sandbox.The Power Of Blood: Many movies overdo this, resulting in mere Squick - Silent Hill pours on the tension until your heart threatens to explode from your chest - scary. Then Pyramid Head shows up and tears the skin from a woman in a single tug - not that scary, just your basic Gorn.
