I watched Mr Roger&amp;#x27;s growing up but really had no idea everything seen was a smartly curated way to make children more empathetic and analytical.</text></comment>

I have seen a critique of Marvels infinity war where (spoilers) Thanos needs to &amp;quot;sacrifice that he loves the most&amp;quot; to gain a special stone.&lt;p&gt;So he throws his daughter off a cliff, and cries as he does.  He &amp;quot;loved&amp;quot; her.&lt;p&gt;People have pointed out that for an abused child sitting watching with her abuser, this reinforces the idea that the person who is harming her actually loves her ... a repulsive idea and perhaps as damaging as jumping off a roof with a towel.&lt;p&gt;I guess &amp;quot;with great power comes great responsibility&amp;quot;&lt;p&gt;PS
not being American Mr Rogers is a mystery to me - can anyone recommend a documentary &amp;#x2F; example ?</text></comment>
