Adult Swim has since asked Brendon to tone the violence down and the 3rd season hasn't been as bad as the first two.
no subject
I really didn't like the violence either when I started watching it, so I often looked away but I stayed for the jokes about metal and their silly personalities (coffee is totally metal haha) and the like. =)
But I agree OP, it's just a bit too hard for me to watch at times.
And Charles is one of my favourite characters. =D He's so awesome.

Like, when I watch a cartoon I temporarily suspend my beliefs and conform to whatever set of physics they have in the universe the cartoon is in. And since Metalocalypse is more realistic, the gore looks way more fake and cheesey than if I were in a squash-and-stretch cartoon were shit similar to Knubbler's exploding eyeballs are more common.
...If that makes any sort of sense at all. I kind of stuck at explaining things without getting super long-winded.
Anyway, I can't say much for the slashing, since I never got into that side of the fandom much at all and don't understand it much myself. But I'll chalk it up to a lot of canon gay jokes. (Murderface, I'm looking at you.)

The whole show is just so over the top and takes everything to srs bsns extremes so that the gory stuff just comes off as I guess what passes for slapstick in that universe, rather than coming off as horrific (which that kinda stuff would be in any other context). And the fact the band seems to find all the death around them cool kinda aids in that whole suspension of disbelief.

As for the slash, I find it quite easy to slash, though I can't explain why.

(Anonymous) 2010-10-31 05:17 am (UTC)(link)I like to listen to some metal but I have never watched this show and the entire aesthetic of metal is gross to me. Like, I will love some album but avoid pictures of the album art or people making the album. I feel like it could be something similar.
no subject
So maybe try some of the less violent early episodes (try episode 4/Dethtroll :D) first until you get used to some of the gross stuff? Because the rest of the show is really worth it, and it gets less violent with each season.
I usually watch the show with three people:
1 of them enjoys the music and is little disturbed by the gore
1 enjoys the humour, hates the music and is little disturbed by the gore
another 1 hates the music, is disturbed by the gore and stays for Charles.
Because no matter what they think of the rest of the show pretty much everyone agrees that Charles is amazing. XD
no subject
Though more than anything I realize even that's lampooning the metal aesthetic in its over the top manner. When some of it defies physics, I just laugh.
