Well, it’s not exactly like that but Megan hurts Katie, and then Katie ends up destroying her. I don’t know if his count is that abused becoming the abuser but it’s still just a fair warning.

Cady's aunt is shown mostly to be an inexperienced and unwilling guardian, which mainly culminates in her non-intentional neglect of her. There is one scene in which they are arguing and it escalates with the aunt grabbing her arm pretty forcefully, but that is the extent of it. While technically this would not be considered abuse, I'm sayinf yes in case this kind of content would be upsetting for anyone.

People really need better reading comprehension skills. This category clearly requests for information about animal deaths other than a dog, cat, or horse, which have their own categories. Therefore, there should be nothing but NO’s in this section, because no other animals die in this movie. The dog info already exists elsewhere.

Original comment got deleted - there are dog attacks in this movie! There's no separate category for it, and it isn't listed under the dog death tag. Dogs attack people in this movie, or at least it's heavily heavily implied.

Restraining occurs multiple times throughout the film. M3GAN is often restrained in order to like get tested, or updated and stuff, where her arms are shown to be restrained up like a puppet. Other times where someone is restrained are more violent scenes where M3GAN is attempting to kill someone, such as one of the employees that she ties and up and gets hanged. At the end of the film, she also restrains the protagonist against a table.

Yes, while the other comments do say that the person who was hanged survives, I do think some will find it triggering or graphic, as he is shown to be hanging for a good minute or so before he is finally released from it. His face is shown to be all red and everything, and later he is even shown requiring a breathing mask at the end.

It is possible to interpret the ending as the robot sacrificing itself for the child's emotional stability, if we imagine that it could have got out of being destroyed but chose not to use all its options. However, its AI is implied to have probably survived. No human character sacrifices themself.

The fourth wall is not broken in the film itself. However, a lot of the marketing material surrounding the film did involve the M3GAN character speaking directly to the audience. This included a title card that unexpectedly told the audience to pay attention to the film, as well as a campaign on Twitter and Tumblr. These materials are not present on the DVD but might still be available online somewhere.

There is a possible brief reference as the robot struggles to come to terms with the existence of death, but there isn't a debate. It is implied that if there had been more discussion the robot might not have become murderous.

There are multiple scenes where cars honk before an accident, but there is another scene where a child kicks the back of the drivers seat and the car swerves a bit.

Two car scenes in the film involve crashing into a person or another car.

The theatrical version doesn't have much blood, but an ear is pulled off onscreen. The uncensored version has lots of blood spray, and the ear is more extensively shown being removed. Also, in the uncut version a woman's face starts to melt from being sprayed with acid.

A person is sprayed with a pressure washer, including in the face, though drowning was not the cause of their death.

Where to Watch
During this time, it's night, and M3GAN uses a voice recording of the dog's owner to lure it to the hole in the wooden fence. Once the dog gets closer to the fence, you see M3GAN's face appear at the hole (from the dog's POV) before the scene switches to show the dog, from the side, being pulled through the hole (by its collar, I assume) while it tries to resist and yelps in fright. Then, the scene changes to the next morning where you first hear and then see the dog's owner calling out it's name while walking down the street looking for him.
Honestly, I don't understand why movie directors feel the need to show pets being in any sort of danger like this. You can make a horror movie's antagonist creepy, scary, or unsettling via other ways.
