Why Fear the End of the R-Rated Superhero Movie?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the at-least-as-much-as-that-reaper dept.

brumgrunt writes "Last year, Marvel said that R-rated comic book superhero movies weren't in its future plans. Now, in the light of Watchmen's box office performance, Warner Bros is going the same way, meaning high-profile comic book superhero films will be restricted to the PG-13 rating at most. But is this a bad thing, and should we fear the end of the R-rated superhero movie?"

    Yeah, sure, Europe is doing SO well...

    Europe is so ass backwards with its, socialism, communism, capitalism, dictatorships... FFS pick one!

    At least in the US we aren't 100% completely dependent on a disenfranchised worker class of illegal muslim immigrants. At least we have a Federal Reserve and a single currency. Are you using Lira or Euros? Pounds or Euros? Duetchmarks or Euros? Franks or Euros? At least our country isn't setting up cameras and microphones on every corner, reading our mail, and telling us to spy on our neighbors and sift through their trash.

    Yeah... sure the USA is screwed up. However, suggesting that Europe is LESS screwed up is pretty offensive to the descendants of, and the people, that sacrificed their lives to rescue Europe from the Germans, Russians, and Japanese.
