The Compelling Power of Television Violence.
I think the compelling power of television violence to people can be traced back to the television shows that they watched as children. Shows like power rangers, Batman, spider man and even some episodes of Barbie that show some action scenes.
These action movies tend to raise some super thrilling feelings in humans that makes them feel so excited, an excitement that makes one’s blood bubble.
Therefore, it is of no surprise, if those children grow up into adults that begin to watch Flash, Avatar, Black Panther and the likes. As there is a quote that goes, “old habits die hard.”

It has been more like a tradition for growing kids to love more of actions and violent TV shows more than any other. It is termed as interesting because every human always falls in love with any piece of writing or movie series filled with suspense and unending actions.
It is compelling and irresistible despite the parental guidance precautions always shown on every TV show that involves violence, it still ends up becoming the favourite of every human.
Physiologically, I believe that it is generally in the gene of humans born into this by this time of the century.
Violence before... Vawulence now.
