I'm not flipping out. I just find it insulting that people are still so damn sensitive about the subject. The people who died back then, I can fully sympathize. The World Trade Center being decimated, I can completely understand. But explosives? They might as well edit any two towers that are suspiciously close enough to resemble the Twin Towers, if they're going to be this silly.
OH OH! Or how about they take it further, and recall Devimon 'Darkmon' again. Or Daemon/Demon 'Creepymon'. Or maybe they can rename Beelzemon 'Bikermon'. Would YOU be ok with that (some name changes are cool, don't get me wrong, but the above are NOT)?!
As for 4Kids... you're talking about them as if they're the most shining example of what it means to be a dubbing franchise. To do the surgical work they do means that have absolutely no respect for the medium.
And maybe it's me, but I find a giant black wolf that's right in my face, so close that you can feel the heat of its breath on you, trying to chew me up like Beef Jerky a LITTLE more scarier than a few bombs. And as for "physical violence not being a big deal"... was THAT why they always edited Tai and Matt's fist fights into a non-contact, flash-filled, goofy sfx-fest, or when they chopped up the scenes when MaloMyotismon beat up Arukenimon to near-death, or when they altered when Beelzemon impaled Leomon in the chest with his own claw? They MUST not find violence a big deal if they did that (sarcasm).
Oh, and for curiosity sake, not being an ass (which I'm not trying to be for this topic, mind you) ... did they cut out when Agumon kicked Marcus in the balls? I didn't see Data Squad that early on.
