    Even in kids movies I get questions like “does the goomba die when Mario smashes it?”

    Thats maybe an absurd example but I think it highlights how we see stories where characters often solve their problems with violence, even as a first choice.

    Sometimes the tone is wildly off too, like watching the good guy kill multiple people and then everyone is jovial about it.

      All those comic book movies are especially weird.

      Slaughter their way through an army of henchmen who presumably have families and homes to go to and are nothing more than hired goons, before getting to the mastermind and mostly just giving them a firm telling off and taking them to prison.
