[QUOTE="bento, post: 3551702, member: 36597"] WL, Despite what the film industry rules are, the Marvel (TM) brand is and should be something that the company goes to lengths to protect. And I mean this from not just an IP standpoint but also as a brand that has something for "all ages." As with Disney and Winnie the Pooh, Marvel is a brand that parents should feel safe with buying products for their tots/children/pre-teens/teens/young adults, depending on which part of the product line. My parents gave me money when I was eleven to purchase Mad magazine, because they knew that while the magazine "tweaked the nose of society," the publisher had guidelines the product didn't cross. It was SNL for pre-teens in comic form. As an adult, I've purchased several titles from the MAX line - Fury, Squadron Supreme, etc., where I knew the language was rough and the situations very adult. I read those, and my kids read Marvel Adventures, and everyone's happy. But releasing this DVD with the F-bomb dropped very prominantly, is very disappointing. Same can be said for some of the scenes from the movie itself, such as Kitty Pryde's banter with Juggernaut. Marvel went through several decades (1970s-80s) of being helmed by post-adolescent fanboys, and I could almost expect some of this more boorish behavior during that period. But as finally reaching the stage as a "public corporation" that courts both Wall Street investors and the public to their movies/toys/theme parks/ etc., I think they need to wake up and realize they can't have their hentai covers along with "Spidey and Friends" sing-along CDs without feeling some heat from the public. Crafting multi-million dollar movies with ads on Nickelodeon and toy give-aways at Burger King, while selling "T" rated cover magazine with tentacle rape and F-bombs on blockbuster DVDs smacks of hypocracy. Before I had kids, I wouldn't have given it a second thought. Now that I'm a guardian of the next generation, when my kids ask for money to purchase a Colossus action figure, I'll probably tell them "no" but give them money for the Ben 10 figure instead.
