It's possible for it to work without an R rating. It might have to rely more on story and characters though. Nixing some of the blood/gore and cursing. (And the MPAA has always been more hung up on Sex/Nudity, then cursing, and finally violence and gore. Which always spoke volumes about their Puritanical Mindset to me. Sex and Boobies are BAD!!!!) Adding those to a story has always been used as a cheap way by lesser stories to evoke emotion and add to the "cool" factor. A way to turbo charge the story and characters past any blemishes. If nudity/cursing/violence is used in service of the story then all is good. If it's used to prop the the story up it is a cynical party trick used by movie makers. So yeah it could work without an R rating, but it puts more pressure on the Writers, Directors, and Actors to make it work. You are not nixing some you are nixing it all if you are having to do that clearly it won't work If they don't put nudity which the story of Blade or Punisher doesn't need, and only focus on violence and language they wouldn't have to cut a lot. And language isn't that hard just nix the F-Bombs. The real factor we are dealing with here is the violence and gore. And you wouldn't have to cut all of it. Look at Drag Me to Hell by Sam Raimi. Pretty fucking violent and decently gory and it's PG-13. Sam is good at mixing a little bit of camp and humor with his Violence and Gore. Here he balances it so well that I think the MPAA allowed them a little more violence and gore than most PG-13 movies.
