I went through and watched the complete He-Man series recently, and it's interesting how he pretty much never uses his sword as a weapon, except against robots and such. Mostly he just uses it to cut objects and deflect lasers--it's more of a tool than a weapon, really.

I think its ok to show kids violence as long as they know that there is always a consequence to it. In a cartoon they shouldn't overdo it but they shouldn't avoid it all costs. I think its also better if they use it as a last resort if nothing else seems to work.

Well He Man did punch the camera in the intro saying "he is the most powerful man IN THE UNIVERSE". Allot of crazy mother would consider it violent.

I agree not every show has to be violent, but 60's Spidey did have spidey punch people.

People tend to over react to this violent issue, we live in a violent world and humans by nature are violent as well. So really they shouldn't censor children because they will see it anyway, so why try to hide it.

That's my opinion anyway
