Is the R Ratings For Superhero Movies Necessary?

[Lex]

Now I am 16 and have seen deadpool and cant wait to watch logan. Deadpool was great and all but I feel like when the movies are too filled with inappropriate stuff ot doesnt feel like a hero movie anymore which is why I love avengers and the pg 13 marvel a ton (infinity war is coming boiii) What I am trying to say is it feels like it removes the super hero/good guy/innocent but good comedy plot and feels like a movie you would watch late at night in a way.

Well i mean deadpool's only rated 14a and logan 18a in canada for some reason. Regardless i cant say anything about deadpool as i havent seen it quite yet, but logan is fantastic and i love the more mature theme that it has.

The majority of the best movies ever created have been rated R because they don't have to limit themselves to a younger audience to get more $$$. If a movie wants to tell a really good and mature story then yes, it should be rated R. But if you're just making it rated R for the sake of getting attention then no, that's bad. There are a ton of gritty super hero adaptions in comic books and ♥♥♥♥♥ so I don't really see anything wrong with a movie like Logan being like this.

Deadpool proved a R rated superhero movie can be successful, so they are gonna keep doing it. The Disney ones won't though, so no need to worry there.

It would have been a disservice to the character for Deadpool to be restricted to pg-13.

It sounds like a tricky question. Pass.

[PastelWraith]

Yes. Depending on the hero, they need an R-rating to be done properly. Anything like Deadpool or Punisher need to be really violent.

Not sure how a movie about a dude with knives on his hand that goes around cleaving people up can be both realistic and pg-13

Some heroes are naturally bloody/innapropriate, it just wouldn't be right to restrict them to a lower rating.

Too filled with inapporpriate stuff? Nah, in a deadpool movie i want it to be inappropriate and thats my opinion. Its good that you mentioned that it dosen't feel like a hero movie anymore. He really should'nt be considered this innocent/good guy/ super hero guy in the first place. He is his own character and he does "bad guy" stuff (actually kills people) some of the time and that's totally reasonable, complex and maybe realistic in my opinion. Even though the character is totally unrealistic.

Another thing is to just simply close your eyes if it gets too inappropriate.

[crimsonfate]

No, it isn't necessary. I think superhero movies should only have a R rating if the character (s) fit well with a more mature theme.

That is everything Deadpool is not. He is an anti-hero, not a hero. He is obviously not innocent nor a "good" guy. He just is and does what he wants.

As for Logan? That is not in-line with the comics as it is. It even states as such in the movie. It is more of a drama then a super hero movie, so the rating makes sense due to the content and story. It isn't a typical "stop the bad guys" movie.

As mentioned by others, Deadpool isn't a hero so the "inappropriate stuff" doesn't really distract from that. HOWEVER...in the case of Deadpool i did think the "inappropriate stuff" did distract overall. To me it felt way too forced and way too try-hard. It's like they wrote a movie, then hired a 13 year old to scribbled stuff out and add his own stuff. I'm not a prude, i love profanity, but it's only good when it flows naturally, with Deadpool it's like they intentionally tried to put swear words in between sentences of dialogue. The scene where Deadpool meets Nega Sonic and he says " Nega sonic teenage...what the ♥♥♥♥? That's the coolest name ever! That's a poorly written line, a line a 13 year old who has never written before would write. The humor and effect would have still been there if he had said " Holy...SH*T! That's the cooest name ever!".

It was an alright movie i guess, i only really laughed, like actual laugh not just a chuckle, once. His David Beckham joke was golden.
