[QUOTE="Merlion, post: 2482426, member: 10397"] I also have to take exception with this. Especially the Spider Man movies featured very minimal profanity, and basically no adult themes. There was, of course, fightning since as has been mentioned thats what comic book heroes do...but it was in no way excessive or terribly graphic. In the Spiderman movies, toward the end of each Spiderman got beat up a little bit, and slightly bloodied but that was about it. Most of the Marvel movies have been similar. Very limited profanity (usualy pretty much limited to the occasional "hell" or "damn") and the usual comic book violence. Fantastic Four had one or two stronger "adult" innuendos, and the violence in say Daredevil was a trifle more intense. But overall I think they've done a very nice job of making the Marvel hero movies family friendly. However, on the other hand, I do agree with the principle of what your saying...profanity, adult content etc thrown in for no real reason. However, I also truly feel that this seems to be becoming a bit less common. I think many directors are starting to understand that they dont have to overuse those things in order to make movies appeal to people of certain demographics. Especially in terms of fantasy/sci fi/comic book type movies...those of us who go to see those movies are going for the stories, the magic/superpowers/spaceships whatever, the monsters, the characters all that stuff. If they concentrate on that, they will do well. [/QUOTE]
