That totally misses the entire point of Astro Boy. The original manga was already dark as shit, it only had a cartoon coat of paint to make those dark themes approachable to everyone.

Hell, we ALREADY have the "more adult" Astro Boy with Pluto, and it really isn't much darker than the original. It just has a more realistic style, but otherwise it's pretty faithful. To act like we need yet another edgy reboot is a pretty big red flag.
