too bad this has been in production far longer than Deadpool has been released and of course it was directed by ZACK SNYDER. You're SURPRISED it's capable of an R rating? I was frankly shocked that he was able to restrain himself with Man of Steel.
Ssshhhh. People feel really smart when they make predictions about pop-culture trends; don't take the wind out of everyone's sails by saying the sky
isn't falling.
In all seriousness, I really don't get the these forums sometimes. One day we're all complaining about how overzealous the ratings boards are with their willingness to slap absurd rating on any media that doesn't censor itself, but
now an R rating is a sign of a grim-dark, edgy, production? The trailers have already been pretty much nothing but grim and dark from the beginning, so I'm not sure how this changes anything. You can get an R rating for using profanity; it doesn't exactly have very high threshold.
To be honest, if they do mindlessly follow along behind Deadpool's R rating I'd consider that a good thing. It's not like they won't be mindlessly following
something, so they might as well prove to the world that R ratings can be profitable, and that not all films need to censor themselves to turn a profit.
