I think that the resistance to bloody scenes tends to make people think that something will be instantly awesome as long as blood is added. Like "Wow! That was so awesome and bloody!"
I just don't fell that way.
The Resolute team touched on this subject when they were previewing it at JoeCon a couple of years back. They felt the scenes were more dramatic when they didn't actually show Snake Eyes lancing a trooper with his sword. Instead you saw the motions and heard the sounds. I agreed, I thought it was better that way too. The blood and gore just didn't add anything to this movie. It can add a lot to a movie if done right, such as Saving Private Ryan.
