I feel like this mentality ended up cutting me off from a lot of stuff I would have really enjoyed. Even though I loved the short novel version of The Dark Crystal, my parents never showed it to me because they thought I would be too scared of it; I loved Star Wars though, and it's not like the OT doesn't have its fair share of terrifying moments 😂 so even though I hated watching those scenes, I think it's better to let your kid watch the stuff, and trust her judgement if she says it's (1/2)
I like the idea of going down NEAR the bottom of the ocean and then having a detachable submersible go the rest of the way down for you, so that you're not the one putting yourself at extreme risk, but also you get to be like a super awesome adventurous explorer that goes where no man dares to go in the pursuit of glory or whatever...with the help of your tiny robot friend!
