Excuse a late comment on this one, just getting time now. I really appreciated this video. It does a great job diagnosing the larger issue of our society's increasing inability to read/interpret texts, particularly to distinguish what characters say from what the text is saying. This is concerning and deserves more attention, so I really appreciate the in-depth look.

The original show did show the genocide directly. It just didn't make it a "cool fight scene". As far as I remember, there was mostly a bombardment. Live-action presents it more as a war - with both sides actively fighting. The fighting, and not the murder, is the main unconscious takeaway from that scene. It focuses not on how evil it is to undertake, but on how hard a task it is for the perpetrator.
