...How the hell is a show where a pre-teen girl is graphically burned to death from the inside out PG?

It wasn't that graphic. Cinder was just performing a "witchcheck". Pyrrha passed.

Because it's "not" graphic...she turned into ashes.

She didn't get burned alive by fire or nothin'.

Because it wasn't graphic at all. Just her turning into sparkles and blowing away. That's about as safe a death as you can get.

If she was screaming in agony as she burst into flame and we saw her cooked internal organs than yes, that would be graphic. But that's not what happened.

Yes, because she was immolated from the inside out.

That is a very fucked up way to die

It's not how she dies, it's how it is shown on the screen. Plus, it's hard to really say how precisely everything went. She was shot through an arrow, which might have been hot enough to burn parts of her inners, but then she experienced what I'd call "Spontaneous Human Charcoaling". For all we know Cinder might have torched everything about her in a single moment.

Well...all deaths in fiction are really gruesome if you stop to think about them.

But what if you're like me and don't think?

You know, Pyrrha's death is very similar to that of Varian Wrynn, who died just recently in the intro cinematic of legion

Although the latter was much more gruesome

[up] Did i spoil you? Or did i say something wrong?

The only gory thing i found in RWBY was Yang getting maimed. That's without counting grimm tho

[up]No, I knew that happens in Legion. I didn't know it happens that early in the expansion.

Also, no. Varian goes out way more like a badass than Pyrrha did. If Pyrrha killed the Grimm Dragon, and then had her Defiant to the End moment with Cinder, then the comparison could be accurately made. [lol]

Many deaths are brutal when you think about them but aren't depicted as such. Bambi's mother gets shot by a hunter and killed, but just falls over. Actual deer kills can be really messy. Littlefoot's mother gets freaking mauled by a T-rex in Land Before Time, but all we see is it biting her back a few times with no blood. And just think of the many many deaths in Disney films where someone falls from a great height. It's likely very messy in Beast's Courtyard where Gaston landed but we don't see it.

The fact that we saw her get shot with a physical projectile at all was probably worth the rating more than her getting dissolved.

[up][up]Littlefoot's mother's death in the movie was the censored version. The original version was so graphic that it was destroyed.

Actually now that i think about it, Ruby beheading the Nevermore in vol. 1 was pretty brutal.

Oh, we are back at the Pyrrha is dead section. How nice waii

Bambi's mother gets shot by a hunter and killed, but just falls over.

No it didn't. She just fainted. Faint-ed. Then she woke up at the end of the movie and... and everything was okay. Bambi's mother was fine.

The ending you're talking about was just a HYDRA plot to demotivate the American audience.

@Guy - About damn time someone made that vid. [lol]

As for the graphic nature of Pyrrha's death, well, a 2001 PG movie like Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has an eleven year old kid literally grabbing and burning someone's face off. You can get away with surprisingly lot in PG, really.

Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.
