DEADPOOL MOVIE

That was some crumb there Jye.

I am so fett up with waiting for this movie to come out.

 

[Scareb]

So now there's a petition going on to get fox to release a PG-13 cut of the film because kids want to see the movie.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

The whole premise of the character is SO NOT aimed at kids.

 

[EVILFACE]

A good friend of mine works in the PR department at Marvel, and just told me that they are receiving an "overwhelming amount of hate mail" today because of the R rating. One of the quotes was "How dare you market a children's character in an adult film".

I can't wait for the stories of unsuspecting parents taking their kids to see "just another Marvel movie" only to run out of their screaming and demanding a refund. LOL

Why would they be unsuspecting? It's rated R.

After all the stink about it needing an R and threats of boycotting if it wasn't

The Internet & Comicbook fans = R rating or nothing!
Everyone else = pg-13 so my 6 yr old can go please.


Again, and I've said it before; YES Deadpool is an 'adult' character. But there ARE kids who only know him from the Spidey cartoons. My son included. If that's your only exposure to him, then I can see why some parents may assume this will be 'just another Marvel movie'. Luckily, I know better. lol

I can see them doing a PG-13/Alternate cut for the blu-ray release though.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Hey - why not, we still haven't gotten a proper Wolverine film yet.

Just put Wade Reynolds in a little sailor's outfit holding a lollypop for two hours while we're at it.

 

[jye4ever]

Wolverine should've got his hard R movie way before Singerpool.

 

[Scareb]

I genuinely hope that fox sticks to their guns and keeps Deadpool rated R and the same goes with any future sequels. I worry that if they give in to this BS, that they'll just say to hell with it and make the sequel PG13.

Deadpool is not a character for kids. Like at all. Yeah, they may shoehorn him into video games and cartoons and the like but that isn't a true representation of the character outside of his humor. It's basically like throwing Vlad the impaler into a Disney movie.

This is a double-edged sword of the cartoons being controlled by Marvel proper while the film is controlled by Fox. I feel for folks in this situation you bring up, but I think Fox is making the right financial move by appealing to DP's hardcore fans, and not kids. There are about 5 million other comic movies kids can see, fortunately.

Oh I agree with you, 100%. Just pointing out that DP HAS been marketed to kids as well - yes a watered down version, but the general public only know what they're fed. So I understand the 'confusion' on some parents part. I've already had the 'NO' talk with my son. lol

 

[RIDDICK]

Fortunately, there are about 5 million 3D animated films kids can see instead.

Fixed, because most kids don't care about superheroes even remotely as much as comic book geeks and fans so there's no reason to bring the fact that there are more kids friendly superhero films.

 

[jye4ever]

I totally get the confusion, he has been sold to be everything for everyone from rated G to R.

Maximum coverage = Maximum profit.

 

[RIDDICK]

I miss 80s and early 90s when kids were all over gory stuff and rude one-liners.

Who cares if a fifth string character like Deadpool has an R rating? At least the rating is up there for all to see. Compared to PG-13 Batman Returns and The Dark Knight, which were about one of the most popular and kid friendly character's in the world and then turned out to be scary as f--k.

 

[Shaun & Ed Fan]

If you want a kid friendly film...go watch Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip!

 

[third3ye]

Movie's geared for male viewers so I'm doubtful about Reynolds showing his ass or full frontal, 'graphic nudity' is probably the strip club scene and a raunchy sex scene with Reynolds and Baccarin.

Second string is more like it. He's as known as the A-listers in pop culture circles, after all there wouldn't have been the huge uproar their was over changing his character in X-Men Origins if he was 5st string and this movie will probably move him up to 1st string like Iron Man did with general people

 

[YoNoSe]

Is there really some kind of negative response to this R rating? I can't find anything about it except in this thread.
