I miss squibs. Doesn't seem like they use them as much nowadays as they used to. There's nothing like a classic fight scene where a guy gets shot and the actor flails around wildly while red liquid erupts from an actual physical object that is under his clothing. CGI is also kind of a mess. It's been around for decades now and it still looks off a lot of the time. There are subtleties of how physical objects interact with each other and with light that our subconscious minds are good at detecting and which CGI has trouble convincingly crafting. As for modern puritanism, I do find it funny that the Hays Code emerged in Hollywood at about the same time as comic books became wildly successful, and modern puritanism is also accompanied by a huge rise of the popularity of comic book derived media. It might be more than a coincidence.
