"What is "happy violence?" Describe it in your own words.
What are some examples of happy violence from movies or television that you've seen recently? Provide examples and share links (or images or screenshots). Why are these examples of happy violence? How do they make violence glamorous or humorous?"
To me, happy violence is what everyone watches on TV or in movies whether they know they are or not. It is suspenseful, ineffective to ourselves, and will always end with something good happening to someone. We love to watch it because it rises suspension within ourselves and does justice at the end. When thinking about happy violence shows or movies that I watch there happens to be a lot. The main TV shoes would have to be Criminal Minds, Sons of Anarchy, Law and Order SVU, and Stranger Things. They all are suspenseful, people die, and good things happen to the good people. With movies the main ones I love are all of the Marvel series, The Town, and Star Wars. The story lines keep me interested as well as make me cringe at times. They make it seem okay because justice is always served at the end of it all so the bad things that happen are always put to bed. I have grown up watching movies likes these and will always have an interest because of the thrill within them.





I love the shows and movies you used as examples. I also find them entertaining, and think that happy violence is such an easy way to keep viewers hooked because it's thrilling.
