    The whole R rated thing is just the current thinking by film nerds that all R rated movies are better. They want R rated everything. The difference between PG-13 and R is so slim it makes no difference in most cases anyway. If you have to have multiple fucks or show a set of **** in your movie just to make it good it was never that good to begin with.

    Cartoon brains have been shown plenty of times on cartoons its not considered R material. A live action brain depends on context and I doubt given the MCU Red Skull we'd ever see that scene in a MCU film.

    Can anyone not bring up Touchstone or Miramax insisting those studios are owned by Disney like Marvel is owned by Disney. The difference is Disney is not directly involved in the production of movies released under touchstone and Miramax, Disney is very involved in the production of every Marvel movie from top to bottom.
    DCEU already put out an R rated movie.

    Marvel will make an R-rated film when it’s necessary. Outside of Deadpool, nobody else really needs an R-rating to be done right.

    The best CBM ever is Logan with a hard R. Can you imagine a PG Logan? Doesn't work.

    MCU must adapt or die. PG is for kids.

    (According to hardcore Fox fans).

    Maybe never. Marvel comics (with some exceptions) .
    Other studios have done R Rated since the mid 90s, nothing should be holding Marvel back. R Rated movies are good for exploring the boundaries of what you can do with a film, story and characters.

    are basically PG-13, there's no reason for the movies to go R-rated
    Stories have reason to go R. Red Skull and Joker stories. X2, the story of God Loves Man Kills would have played better as R. it was a struggle to make the film a pg 13 after many cuts. Some stories are violent , addressing uncomfortable topics too. If there was no reason, Netflix won't need to exist for Marvel. It is less depressing knowing marvel would have lost the opportunity to green-lit Logan, putting the film on Netflix as a cheap TV series instead, when we consider, Logan in a split decision is viewed as the greatest superhero movie ever made.

    It's not so tied to quality as to a dare, Logan has a superior quality to Marvel studios movies. Deadpool was more stout-hearted and risky than any Marvel movie. Quality superhero movies existed when cinematic universes movies were not around. The quality was there because movies could not be duplicated or were so tied in they all looked alike.

    Is there a demand for an R-rated MCU film, I mean, other than from fanboys? I get the feeling the Disney overlords won't go for that.

    Also because the MCU films tie together so much...it's fairly important you see each film. So why alienate a massive chunk of their audience? They could do a Marvel R-rated film that's not tied into the larger MCU...but I don't see them doing an R-rated film that ties into their larger story arc, as it's intertwined among every movie they release.

    Logan's greatness was not about R. TDK greatness was not about grittiness or because Heath Ledger died. it's a misconception some Marvel Studios fans have about both movies.

    Superhero films should be for kids and adults unless they have the specific R Rating. I associated superhero films to kids when people say these movies are about fun and have nothing more going for it, I associated superhero movies to kids and adults when superhero movies are less FX focused, choosing to care more about having a good story first told well in films.

    If they have a great story warranting the R rating, I'm sure they'll go for it.

    Dark Knight and Snowpiercer are better than Logan IMO. Also why wouldn't superhero movies be for kids?

    The Nolan trilogy isn't gritty its realistic but not gritty.

    Depends. You can get away with a lot of stuff in PG-13, the problem just comes down to how much blood is shown.

    The Jurassic Park movies show people literally being ripped apart, the Taken movies show guys getting killed in all sort of fashion and Venom had guys get their heads bitten off, the most recent Robocop movie had a slight amount of body horror e.t.c. It’s all in the presentation.

    Exactly, you have to go in hard to get an R-rating.

    The MPAA is pretty lax when it comes to on-screen violence..it’s the sex and swearing that they have a problem with.

    Simpsons Tree of whatever was comical. The whole nature of the last scene of Uncanny Avengers was way too graphic so it can be considered PG-13. And for the sake of arguement, let's just say that you are right with the brain issue. There were other, more controversial scenes in other Marvel books that couldn't possibly be rated with a PG-13.
    The sex scene of Hank Pym and Janet, many many nude appearences by various characters in the 90's (especially by the X-Men), Ultimatum's disgusting scenes such as Blob cannibal, Kraven's Last Hunt, everything Rick Remender wrote for Uncanny X-Force and other that eludes me.

    There's nothing wrong with a R-rated film. I couldn't see the Punisher being PG-13. I mean it COULD, but I wouldn't want to see it.lol
