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.)

I don't think there is a word in this with which I disagree. I saw Deadpool and kind of liked it, but the relentless dick jokes and gory violence got old pretty quickly. The whole thing started at 11 and never came down, and my ears were ringing when I came out (figuratively speaking). There's only so much crescendo I'm prepared to take; basically, I prefer adult writing to adult jokes.

I'd adore a Fraction!Aja run on Netflix or elsewhere, but if they do the same uber-violence that turned me off Daredevil, count me out. The series itself has some violence, but nothing horribly graphic, and the swearing is limited to the occasional "futz". So if it is to be R-rated, let it be for dialling those up to the original "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" version, and for that little Hawkeye mask to be removed from that scene were ... Well, you know.

I've never thought 'adult jokes' had to necessarily be rude. I always thought of them as the jokes that could be in any show or film, but went over kids' heads. The 'you'll get it when you're older' jokes. *shrugs*

I still need to finish watching season 1 of Daredevil and Jessica Jones, bah. I think The Walking Dead has made me more able to cope with graphic violence, but then I don't want that all the time. Like I have kept up with Agent Carter, because that's a gem :) A Fraction & Aja style Hawkeye show with futz and sign language and the goofy mess of life, oh that would be so good! With or without the mask *grins*.
