I think the main problem I have with the "violence" in the wsd movie is that it doesn't try to express the "brutality" of nature, it just feels like it's there to give a shock factor, it doesn't feel like something "normal and natural" it just feels grotesque, like a slasher movie.
Because look, many of us as kids have probably seen some nature documentary where animals fight, get hurt, die, etc. However (or unless you are particularly sensitive) we didn't see it as something horrible, traumatizing OH GOD THOSE POOR ANIMALS, or something like that. We see it as something normal that happens (and it IS REAL), but what about wsd.
Easy, it's TOO EXAGGERATED. These rabbits don't get hurt like normal rabbits, they don't have the same resistance that a common animal with flesh and bones should have. (I'll go into this in depth later).
And for the sample, the death of Blackavar.
In fact, I have a LOT of problems with this one specifically.
For starters, Blackavar in the book never dies, he stays until the end. And ok, it can be given as something important in the plot BUT IT DOESN'T.
It just happens, he attacks Woundwort and Woundwort kills him in the most anticlimactic way possible, then we go to the fight with Bigwig, the dog, the end.
And YA, there is no value for his death, no one mourns for him. He didn't even get to do anything important like, I don't know, give Woundwort a fight and leave him tired enough for Bigwig to have it easier, BUT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
The only thing this death gives us is OH SURPRISE! A pile of strawberry juice spilled everywhere and Woundwort with blood in his mouth.
It was already clear to us, that the General is someone dangerous, and the fight with Bigwig was enough to know how brutal he can be, why the fuck do you add a death?
So, now let's go to the strong point. How blood spurting is not synonymous with realism.
Ok, we're all clear by now, rabbits are not exactly the definition of peace. They also fight, get hurt and can kill each other. But wsd rabbits are over exaggerated, they DO NOT bleed and they DO NOT BOIL LIKE ANIMALS.
For starters, a very curious fact about rabbits. Their claws are actually lousy at dealing with wounds, they are hard and curved in shape, because their main use is digging. They are not designed for tearing or gripping like a cat's claws or the like.
Although they can use their paws to attack, in this case it is more of a warning blow. If a rabbit really wants to hurt it will prefer to use its teeth (that's why when we see rabbits fighting they will try to lunge at each other, as they seek to bite the opponent).
For Woundwort and Bigwig to reach that level of scratching and start bleeding, they should have been hit several times before.
A good example of this is this video of two Hares boxing, as you can see, it took a considerable amount of hits and some time for one of them to start bleeding (and it's not even dripping liters of blood, they are considerably light wounds).
Now, about the rabbit fights, it's really rare to see them get to a point of slitting throats and the like (As a fun fact, when you search for "brutal rabbit fight" the first thing you'll get is Watership Down, not even real rabbits lmao).
Although I said that their teeth are more useful than their nails when it comes to hurting, they don't reach the same level of being able to slit throats in an instant, it also takes a CONSIDERABLE amount of bites before something serious happens. This takes away even more points from Blackavar's death, Woundwort has fucking saws instead of teeth THAT'S NOT HOW RABBITS WORK, DAMN.
And again, the wounds draw blood in spurts, liters and liters, and FUCK NO. I even had to use an example of hares because I couldn't even find a video case of rabbits fighting so severely to the point of bleeding, just a lot of hair pulling and lunging.
See my point? This is NOT a "demonstration of how cruel nature is" it's just a bunch of Gore put in a moronic way to give the impression that something is "adult".
Even though I'm all for showing that in nature things aren't pretty, there's a point to showing animals getting hurt and death. To showing a bunch of blud spilling out as if the animals were fucking water balloons that just popped.
And god, Disney, the company they usually blame for showing "cute animals" knew how to show a dead animal without blood that is not scary because of the blood, it is not scary at all, it is sad also shocking, it is sad because they knew how to take advantage of the context to get the message across.
Bambi was able to be "brutal" and serious without the need to show cute little deer being slaughtered with liters of blood.
And some add for finishing. Ok, we get it, nature CAN and IT'S brutal. But the main difference is the way media tries to show this, in animal documentaries and videos it is shown in a neutral way, we know the context behind everything. And we see it as it begins and ends.
And even with all those tears and injuries, they are not intended to look like a "splatter", in fact, even the wounded animals don't bleed that much. And again, for the animals to get to this point there must have been a lot of fighting and struggling, not just one scratch that caused a crater-sized wound with a reddish waterfall.
And that's it, i'm too angry right now to organize this well. But I hope you get my point.

Dick becoming Robin at 10 is so interesting because hey, this is pretty much one of the world's youngest athletes who wanted to kill his parent's murderer with his bare hands.
He's also the same person who stays up too late watching cartoons and most likely falls asleep during fights.
The rogue gallery vs Robin but it's Harley carrying a sleeping Boy Wonder to her hyenas to watch over him in a cuddle nest, Ivy making a thorned protection shed around him, and Harvey covering him with his jacket while they wait for batman to come collect his boy
If he's running after Waylon in the sewers and trips, bruising his knees, Waylon will wait out Batman with him while offering him rat stew, " It's good for growth." Dick politely declines but appreciates the sentiment
Selina bribes him with late night milkshakes and sweet delights and takes him to animal shelters. She sends Bruce 10+ pics of Dick cuddling with homeless kittens,
She watches Batman toe the edge of insanity as his ward throws an Olympic tantrum because he was forbidden from adopting 20 cats and holy hell. This crime life is worth it.
Oswald teaches him to pick pocket and also educates him on bird care. Bruce asks him how his first solo mission's going,
" arrest him??"
Dick sends him a snap chat of a bird eating seeds from his hand like, " I can't the little guys are eating"
Mr. Freeze helps Dick with his physics homework while Bruce is quite literally on ice. He gets sick and can't patrol because it'd be irresponsible, but Dick is just having fun with the sirens
" Fun" means tying the Joker up like a pinata and beating the hell out of him while wearing a peach and mint facemask
