A seeing eye dog is shot and killed by a gunman during a Mexican restaurant robbery. The dead dog is shown with a (shoddy) bullet wound visible... though it is also clearly still breathing. For what it's worth, the eponymous monster-hero does not let the offending gunman get away with it.

No, the opposite happens - Melvin begins liberating people from abuse after he turns into the Toxic Avenger and gets revenge on his abusers.

Opposite - they portray all the cops as corrupt w officials, Nazis/Germans. There is one that the protagonist protects, bc he helped him or something. But even that protected one speaks German and gets beat to smithereens.

In later movies and the cartoon, Mevin starts calling himself Toxie. People still occasional refer to him as Melvin but he takes no offense to it. Only when you call him “Smellvin”.

A main bully tells another bully he has belly fat. But, he's a very healthy looking young man. In reaction to the comment he works out harder.
An 80s health center is the main setting. There's a scene in a step class full of fit women, then a plus size woman in a hoodie n sweatpants eating candy or chips. She's def there as a "joke".
