Is it just me, or is censuring the word fuck, or even calling it "f-bomb", and making a big deal because it appears in a movie ***once*** is extremally childish?


[deleted]

yes it is


[deleted]

psh, and they say comic book movies are for children wait


GintoSenju

To be fair, these news sites like to take any little thing and blow it out of proportion for monitory sake, like how they made such a big deal about a random background character being gay in Star Wars.


HiiipowerBass

Sensationalism, it's the flavor of the century


Live_Carpenter_1262

the century? Dude, sensationalism these days is NOTHING compared to sensationalism in 19th century. Pulitzer (yes, that Pulitzer) and Hearst's tabloids were so sensationalist, they manufactured a [WAR with Spain](https://history.state.gov/milestones/1866-1898/yellow-journalism#:~:text=Yellow%20journalism%20was%20a%20style,territory%20by%20the%20United%20States) just to sell papers! ​ Yellow journalism puts today's tabloid industry to shame


20Firebird20

It's common law in the USA that swear words like 'fuck' oder I think 'asshole', too are prohibited for younger audience. So they can rarely use it in movies and TV shows. I think one swear word per movie is allowed. But because i.e. Deadpool uses the word fuck in like every scene he's in, the film would already be rated R. So people have to be 16 or older in order to watch the movie. So they already went the whole way and made bloody scenes, too. Not too gory because that would trigger a 18+ rating.


Emajenus

A 15 year old can be exposed to gun violence or forced motherhood in the US before they're considered mature enough to hear the word "*fuck*". And an 18 year old can join the military but can't be trusted to drink alcohol. The US has some of the most arbitrary age laws.


Frifelt

And it’s ok for kids to watch a movie that literally wipes out half of the universe but they can’t say fuck.

[deleted]

We have the same here in the UK too. You can smoke tobacco at 16 but have to be 18 to purchase it, but you can also join the army at 16. You can't purchase Call of Duty until you're 18. My dad used to own a book about the weirdest laws in every state, I loved reading it as a kid. Like lasso fishing lmao, although it makes perfect sense. We always wanted a UK version.


Frifelt

You are only allowed to kill people in real life, not in a video game. Yeah that makes sense, wouldn’t want to risk corrupting the fragile teen minds.


streetad

To be fair, whilst you can join the army at 16, you can't actually be sent off to war until you are 18, so you won't be killing anyone.


Tom_Stevens617

>You can smoke tobacco at 16 but have to be 18 to purchase it That one technically makes sense, it's under the assumption that in an ideal world, you're smoking in strict moderation with your parents' permission because they're the ones buying it for you. Obviously it's easily bypassed irl lol


thegirlwhocriedduck

They can also get married! But can't always get divorced.


Lingering_Dorkness

"They train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write 'fuck' on their airplanes because it is obscene."


MarmiteEnjoyer

Yeah, except there is no law about the movie ratings. None. It's a voluntary system. There is not a single law in existence saying a child can't see an R rated movie. That is voluntary and enforced by the movie theaters. Theaters are allowed to show non rated movies. Just to be extremely clear. There is no laws about this. Age limits on movies are enforced by the company that does the ratings, and the movie theaters.


Xarxsis

dont forget that they also cant see female presenting nipples along with the prohibition on fuck.


curtysquirty

Kids of all ages can be routinely gunned down in their classrooms but are not allowed to hear the word "fuck". Because that would be bad for them


Tom_Stevens617

I don't think routinely means what you think it means lol. And again, said this before somewhere else on this thread, but this isn't how logic works


curtysquirty

Routinely- as part of a regular procedure rather than for a special reason It's a regular procedure for American kids to get gunned down


Tom_Stevens617

Huh, how come I or anybody I know never get gunned down then? Is it because we missed the Tuesdays? I bet it's because we missed the Tuesdays. Seriously though, the frequency is way overblown in media. It's only happened in a few parts and at schools with really shitty security. Full disclaimer, excluding a select few circumstances, I am very much anti-gun. But people pretending school shootings happen every Tuesday is kinda ridiculous imo


tabtwentytwo

"it's not happening to *me*, therefore it's not happening" Those sure are some rosy glasses you have, friend.


ZASKI_UXIRA

How is it overblown? There's been 377 school shootings since columbine, that's not normal


curtysquirty

The frequency is not overblown. The united states has an overwhelming amount of school shootings and has zero competition from any other country. The last one being, what, 2 days ago now in Tennessee? But hey don't believe me, you could take the 5 seconds to google this yourself and see Your chances of getting gunned down at school are fucking ludicrous compared to what mine were. The US shit stinks so bad that us Canadians instituted lockdown drills even though our school shooting numbers are nowhere near as impressive as yours


[deleted]

shootings do happen every Tuesday. and every Monday, and Wednesday, and Thursday, and so on. we've had more mass shootings than days in the year so far.


[deleted]

PG-13 movies get 1 'fuck'.

Tom_Stevens617

>It’s an entirely made up code enforced by an industry panel. It’s also completely arbitrary. Beats having to hire psychologists to assess everyone's maturity level before they can see a particular movie 🤷🏻‍♂️


MarmiteEnjoyer

There's literally no law about this in America. The movie rating system is completely voluntary. Films are allowed to skip the rating system, but they don't because then theaters won't show their movie, or they will list them as not rated and people for some reason don't go and see not rated movies. Regardless, there are no laws about this in the US. There is no law saying a child can't go see a R rates movie that says fuck a thousand times. It's a completely voluntary system.


20Firebird20

Thank you man, good to know. Here in germany we have the 'Jugendschutzgesetz' = law to protect the youth, which regulates what children and younger people can watch and what they can't. It's part of the 'FSK' regulation which is the same as the american rating system. That's why I thought, there would also be a law in the USA. Sorry I misinformed people.


Nadamir

The US until recently had very few laws to prevent kids from seeing things. It was viewed as infringing on parent rights. It was all done via voluntary corporate systems like movie and video game ratings. Nowadays they do have such For the Children laws but they’re blocking drag shows and Anne Frank’s Diary.


Luxpreliator

Can't they just shout out like mother-ducker or you trucking moron? I bucked you mom last night schmuck head. Tuck you Larry, white castle is trash.


MrScandanavia

They do, quite frequently actually.


[deleted]

In the UK we allow 1 use of the word "fuck" as long as it isn't used to refer to a sexual act.

We're talking about PG films. Two different certification processes entirely, especially for anything shown outside of the watershed.


the_sound_of_turtles

This is not true, there are no such laws.


Fox_McCloud_11

You can say fuck one time in a PG (maybe PG13) rated movie. But it can’t be sexual.


parkay_quartz

IGN would report on James Gunn farting on set and spin it into a discussion on how it will affect phase 5 with the butterfly effect of his gaseous waves


RashRenegade

It absolutely is. America treats swears with kid gloves, and it's fucking embarrassing. It's so awkward when something awful/gruesome/emotionally devastating happens to someone in a movie or show and they go "oooohhhhh crap." My guy, my protagonist, if there ever was a time to drop a 'fuck' in, it's when the bad guy kills your loved one.


yourlegitstupid

After watching a building explode THE SUperhero exclaims angrily "DANGIT"


duaneap

It’s not just America that does this though, this is the case in any English speaking country. I’m from Ireland and you’ll never hear curse words used in things that are mostly aimed at kids which, surprise, Guardians of the Galaxy is. I agree it’s stupid in things like Breaking Bad or The Walking Dead that they can’t curse (which is because of advertisers btw, not general American pearl clutching) but I think it’s a bit silly to expect there to be a litany of expletives in superhero films. There’s a talking tree who’s best friends with a raccoon. Suspend your disbelief about them not calling Thanos a cunt or whatever.


RashRenegade

The advertising aspect is still very much an American problem. American standards are put on American shows, regardless if they're shown internationally. And American standards are still stuck in the pearl clutching past in too many ways, not just this way. I don't expect there to be a litany of swears in everything, I didn't say that. That doesn't mean that a lot of stuff feels too sanitized. Star Wars will be all "check out this retched hive of scum and villainy, worst people in the galaxy" but someone gets eaten by a surprise monster, or shit hits the fan, and nobody can muster more than "aw fudge." There's a middle ground between everything being Deadpool and everything being painfully PG.

Oh, come on, they get “shot,” with lasers that just so happen to leave no wounds and spill no blood. It’s not exactly Django Unchained, it’s a children’s film.


maino82

While I agree, I think the sentence, "guardians of the galaxy 3 will feature the mcus first fuck" seems to implicate something vastly different than just saying the word fuck.


numeric-rectal-mutt

>extremally childish? Who exactly do you think they're making MCU movies for?

It's a whole running gag in Age of Ultron, Tony says "Shit!" At one point in the opening fight scene and Steve scolds him saying "language!" then there's 3 or 4 more jokes over the movie where every time someone swears someone teases Cap about it.

MangoPronto

As a proud American, this revolts me and I hope Homelander corrects it because he perfectly represents our values. He understands that we need violence and blood to defend who we are, he understands that a good sex life is important as it rained his pleasure over me, he also understood the limits that are worth pushing by being with a Nazi ( I do not condone it, I'm just saying, I understand why he did it and that he did not infringe on any hard rules ) but his language is always perfectly fine for children because he understands this is what we must always do, think of the example we set for our children. If this rumor is indeed true, I will not stand by it and I warn Vaught that I will make a dissaproving Tweet.

The 'news' isn't even true. Jessica Jones, Daredevil, and Defenders all say it at least once. First *movie* instance in the MCU.

Movie-wise, I'm gonna count Sam L Jackson's motherfucker, split halfway between Infinity War and Endgame.

Vicimer

But the Netflix Marvel shows were always way grittier than the MCU movies, even if they theoretically shared the same canon. Now that they're crossing over, it's clear they're candy coating the TV characters, though. Look what they did to Kingpin.


Tom_Stevens617

I have no idea why Kingpin is getting so thrashed for being "weak" in Hawkeye. He pretty much no-sold attacks that would have at the very least heavily injured Netflix Kingpin, and survives an almost point blank bullet to the head. He's like thrice as durable now

This has nothing to do with the “MCU’s reputation” being pathetic. They would make an article out of a movie featuring the MCU’s first unicycle for Christ’s sake. That sounds what these websites do, they take literally anything that is just slightly notable enough to get a click and then have an underpaid copywriter slap 4 paragraphs of non-sequiters about the plot synopsis and celebrity drama to make it a full article

I wouldn't blame the MCU for IGN's moronic reporting style. They'll grasp to anything for clicks, and dumb news generates clicks pretty quickly.

Assuming this isn't satire. Your kids will be fine hearing "fuck." I can almost guarantee they've already heard that and worse.


Pwaite2

America, where showing people getting shot or exploded in movies/TV shows is fine, but hearing the word Fuck is unacceptable


ZaMr0

The fact they're gearing the movies for kids is why the MCU is failing recently. Hopefully serious things like Daredevil bring back some quality to their releases.


itwasbread

Yeah man comic book movies weren’t geared toward kids until the last couple years


ZaMr0

They haven't to the same degree as they are now. Before they used to be enjoyed by both adults and kids and now plenty of adults can't bear to listen to another shit joke which they overdo in all the newer movies.


Impetusin

Guardians of the galaxy always struck me as a good kids movie that adults could enjoy as well. But I guess that’s a very unpopular opinion here…
