Did you react this way when the red wedding happened in GOT?
no. completely different (and served a narrative purpose other than extreme shock)
quote:
Is it “shocking”? Yes. Sometimes the world is shocking. Is shock value entertaining? That’s subjective.
if the shock works narratively and has a legitimate purpose outside of the shock itself, then it has value
this lacked both. it's just sadism

The red wedding did not have to be that gruesome to serve the narrative. But the extra gore made us uneasy and shocked us.
I haven’t seen Mogli, so I can’t really comment on the scene. But it sounds like, as you say, there was a point to the scene. It just took it too far. I can understand why that would offend someone, but I can also see how that would add extra impact to the scene. I guess I can’t really say for sure because I haven’t seen it.
