ATTF: R-Rated Movies in MCU?  
This is a little off-topic but I thought that this would be a really interesting topic to discuss. So, members of this great bar, do you think that Marvel should also follow in Deadpool's footsteps and start to make R movies?

I personally loved Deadpool and had a great time watching the movie but some people who brought their young children to the movies were angry that it had a lot of bad words and stuff.  Obviously, because it was R, that was to be expected but should superhero movies even be R when a good majority of the fanbase is younger than 17?

Also, feel free to talk about other MCU movies and think of this as a general movie discussion!

Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)

This is true. But it's also the promo people who put out the ads the kids see and then want. And it's REALLY hard to explain to your six year old that even though its a movie about his beloved superhero, no, you can't see this movie because it's way too above your level. (We've been having some issues with this on Batman vs. Superman.) I like that the Marvel movies have been at a lower rating because we can watch them and I can either do some explaining at the scarier parts (Hulk chasing Black Widow freaked him out) or fast forward on them.

This is something I find to be a big problem - marketing things at kids that they can't watch. My mum works at a Primary school, for kids aged 5-11, and a lot of them have chatted to her about their parents not letting them watch films that're aged 12 up, and yet they know about them because of the kids' lunch boxes, the toys, the hype, so they want to watch them, and that's not fair on the kids or their parents. This, I think, is where the money making goes too far.
