The guy made movies into cartoons with it. Saturation with blood and guts brought desensitization of it. Which carries over into street behavior after walking out of theaters. People think it's normal. But that kind of thing goes way back. Cowboy movies when I was a kid showed me that shooting people was heroic.
At least with the comic book heroes, its supposedly taking place within fantasy world settings, not home. Combining all of the Avenger/Justice League/Superman mayhem wreaked upon us so far, half of the planet has been destroyed.
Follow Ups:
I don't really buy that watching screen violence will make someone violent as most people who have watched violent films don't go around killing people. It's used as an excuse because people want to blame something (other than guns of course). Every other country in the world watches the Terminator and Quentin Tarantino films. The rest of the world all watches the same US films. So the correlation isn't there.
Perhaps it's that the USA is so totally PRUDISH and closed minded that the vast sexual frustration in the USA is the root cause of angry men who can't get laid go out and get violent due to their inadequacy.
In Europe they showed TV and films with a lot of nudity and sex and yes they would place violence in the R and X rated equivalency. The US did it the other way.
Shoot 100 people with giddy glee but man - never show a boob!
Nudity and sex are natural things that make people feel good - can't bloody well show any of that! But kill 100 people in a bloodbath - hey no problem. The funny thing is that most everyone on this forum were sucking milk out of a boob as babies - that life providing boob was then made shameful by religious morons mostly in the southern US. All of whom are packing heat 24/7. Backwater Deliverance donkeys screwing up the country. Yeehaw - killing is good - boobs are terrible cover your eyes. WTF!
by mistake in a nearly 100 YO short yesterday.
We all gasped. The cop was up and running around again a minute later.
The rest of any of the other violence was more slapstick and par for the comic course.
But that one scene was really and SURPRISINGLY disturbing, and much more violent than anything portrayed in John Ford's feature Hell Bent.
It happened at the SILENT film festival in this pairing:
Tarantino may have turned gore into a cartoon later, but the scenes in Reservoir Dogs are still squirmingly horrendous.

Haven't attended since around 2012, but can't recommend it enough. Absolutely wonderful film festival. It's a long trip from Ft. Worth to San Francisco by train (I don't like to fly), but loved the Festival both times we attended. Unfortunately, the Festival dates shifted around that time and stared clashing directly with San Diego ComicCon. We begrudgingly dropped SFSFF from our calendar due to the scheduling conflict.
Since the SFSFF organizers have moved the dates away from SDCC we may be able to work this back into our schedules next year.
Cheers,

Yes, it's mostly fantasy. But with "Dusk to Dawn"--well, I've been in bars like that.
I'd brave that bar for Salma Hayak!
