"Again, this trope is not for this kind of movies. Save it for works like Watership Down"

I have no idea, especially what "again" means if it's their only edit on page. Invite them here because the example looks valid to me.

Yeah, I'm not sure how this isn't an example. Inviting Edgar here to discuss why they deleted it exactly would probably be the best course of action.

I concur, I feel like this fits.

You can only write so much in your forum signature. It's not fair that I want to write a piece of writing yet it will cut me off in the mid

Sorry, nevermind. I'm part of the "What Do You Mean it doesn't fit" cleanup project, which helps regarding this kind of tropes and misuse. Currently there's heavy misuse of the trope in contention, in which almost any kind of movie that tackles any sort of "death" reference gets tagged with the trope, even if the rest of the movie is as lighthearted and easygoing.

I don't know it it's American morality, or that this site as a whole tends towards this direction, but tropers often seem to think that children can't handle the topic of death or a minimum drop of blood.

That is one of the main issues for the trope, you guys are welcome to go to the cleanup thread where we can help people reach consensus better.
