From another angle, showing events with consistent and guaranteed moral consequences could be seen as mis-educating viewers that if people misbehave then benign forces will appear on the scene, putting things to rights and dealing out appropriate punishments and rewards.
Sadly, in the real world, this is far from often the case.
Obviously, you don't want kids to grow up thinking "great, I'll be a bully and a thief, I'll get what I want and nothing will happen to me," but neither would I want them to grow up thinking "I'll just go along with whatever shit unpleasant people throw my way because something bad will happen to them before long without me having to do anything, and my innate goodness will be rewarded automatically."
