Nope. Its not gore if people getting shot and bleed. But you do understand that this is fantasy, right? The characters, for the most part, have ways to avoid getting shot unless the plot calls for it (Nick Fury in Winter Soldier). Whether it be shields or armor or invulnerability or simple agility. And when people they are fighting do get shot, it's the knowledge they got shot. Falling bodies and bodies getting knocked back and such. Again, you want the gore of blood spraying all over and the camera to linger on pools of blood instead of the action moving on. Do we really need that? And we do get bleeding when it comes to hand-to-hand combat or explosions or knock backs. Like I said before Stark is a bleeder.

Fantasy action or not doent really matter. It will be alwaysunrealistic, if normal humans aren´t allowed to have injuries. Suicide Squad is an actual good example for this.

Yes, because it is fantasy. I think that's why people flock into that direction. For years people have been saying that they took the fantasy out of X-men and made it more sci-fi. That's why Spider-man and Deadpool did so much better. Hopefully Logan does the same thing. Even though it's a more grounded movie in feel, the action is still more fantasy than the other X-men movies.

Its not fantasy for me if Wolverine kills and stabbs humans with his claws, and there is no blood on them.

I agree with the rhetoric that an R rating can't make an already bad script into a great one.
But so far Deadpool was good and Logan was even better. If they're going to keep making superhero films, then by all means more R rated ones, not due to the content but the tone and feel of the R rated ones flow better. The PG-13 jokey Marvel Studios stuff has been exhausted, since 2008 it has felt like the same template being used but with different superheroes in place. I mean, Guardians for me was a soundtrack with actors in the background.
That said CA2 and Iron Man 3, I enjoyed a lot.

R rated superhero films DO NOT flow better. Films should be rated what's appropriate for the content and what the filmmakers and studios want to do with their films, not because of half-brained concept of "superiority" you have. Also, if Marvel films are jokey, then you best stay away from the original Die hard.

Also, if Marvel films are jokey, then you best stay away from the original Die hard. Why the hostility? I enjoy the more relaxed nature of the R-rated Marvels from Fox. In comparison there are no boundaries. I never once proclaimed nor eluded to R-rated films being superior than their PG-13 counterparts, but I do prefer them more. You're putting words into my mouth, Nolan's Dark Knight films are PG-13, and they work because of the restraints. I wouldn't want to see a Batman movie with blood and guts spurting everywhere with every other word being a swear word. However you'd expect to see more blood than ever before in a Wolverine movie, and swearing/perverse talk in a Deadpool adaption. I agree with your remark about films being rated accordingly for the source material/nature of the work. I like how (so far...) the R-rated Marvel films are more fleshed out and character driven, even Deadpool with its lashings of humour I felt I got to know the titular character. But for example the presence of Ant-Man felt more staged, like I was waiting for the next one-liner. In a way like an Arnie film. I like movies such as Die Hard and Lethal Weapon, they're products of the 80's. The buddy/sarcastic laid back cop trope is perfectly fitting for a movie like that. I'm not stating my opinion as fact, it's a matter of preference, I prefer my superhero films dark and brooding. You can say it's a cliche, I'm no edgy guy I just prefer it that way. I prefer to see superheroes as humans but with exceptional abilities struggle with their dark past. Marvel is fine, but it's a bit too chummy/pally for me, I'd like to see the darkside of Tony Stark. No hard feelings.

Because I get so tired of people claiming that everything has to be rated "R", like the letter itself is something to be proud of. I know you just said that not everything has to be, but damn it, I get so tired of this sentiment. I like seeing superheroes actually be able to smile and take pride in their ability to be heroes instead of being perpetually-frowning cyphers devoid of variety and personality. We saw enough of that in the 90s.
You did see Tony's darkside. Rewatch Captain America: Civil War, where he tries to murder a mentally handicapped man for a crime he had no control over.

Looks like Logan doing well. With how successful both Deadpool and Logan are, do you think Marvel Studious will give a R rated film a shot?

Their movies are widely successful, both critically and commercially. You could even argue that they're wildly successful without much difficulty. They've no incentive to curtail or reduce the number of people eligible to buy tickets to see the movies they spend a lot of money to make and market; also, Disney has an overarching brand (above and beyond Marvel) to perpetuate and maintain, and this does them no favors on that front either. It's just -- I'm not saying it's a good or bad or neutral idea or really placing any sort of value judgment on the idea. I just think, if I'm a Disney exec, it makes little sense at this time.

We saw enough of that in the 90s. You did see Tony's darkside. Rewatch Captain America: Civil War, where he tries to murder a mentally handicapped man for a crime he had no control over. I respect your stance and I understand your frustration. I don't side with the repeated lark from edgy DC fans who think the DCU reigns supreme due to grittiness. Too much grit and it leans towards being comical. If anything Suicide Squad is concrete proof of that, the Joker scenes to be exact. I wouldn't say Captain America/Thor/Hulk films would need copious amounts of gore to be entertaining or even appropriate. But it does go to show that stripping important elements from the source material to fit a rating can lessen something or take away potential. The previous Wolverine movies and Daredevil in particular. It's not the old days when a movie would be shot without a rating in mind, these days they have a rating from the get go. Which is sad in a way, because there's less creative freedom when one guy behind the scenes is making sure everything in the script is suitable for the respective rating instead of just rolling with it. In fact if the MPAA didn't operate the way it did, there would be no pressure for execs to ever interfere with a movie because it wouldn't tarnish its box office. We can only dream. It's a different system in the UK, where most films don't enter production with a precise rating in-mind.

I'm glad you agree the DCEU films leave much to be desired, especially concerning their treatment of poor Superman.
I don't think Cap, Thor, or Hulk are losing anything from the source material to fit their ratings. Captain America, in and of himself, was supposed to be family-friendly at the time of his inception. The whole point of his character is that he's every bit as honest, noble, and decent as he appears to be. Thor is a thrill-packed fantasy adventure and Hulk is basically an old-fashioned monster movie, except the monster's the good guy. I agree that Wolverine and Deadpool thrive under an R-rating, but what fits for them does not suit many, many other characters. Daredevil has a really good Netflix show right now that goes with the distance as far as that character's needs are concerned.
I'm of two-minds when it comes to "shooting with a rating in mind." On one hand, I can see how it would be very useful to know what you're aiming for before you even start. On the other hand, films that begin production without a rating in mind do have a looser and freer production. I think there's room for either approach, honestly.

Or, if it goes to theaters, they'll separate it from the MCU. I can see them doing a sub studio and. doing like the comics, calling it Marvel Knights. Making movies that are more adult oriented. MCU 2. But I can't see them suddenly making a Rated R Iron Man.

also, Disney has an overarching brand (above and beyond Marvel) to perpetuate and maintain, and this does them no favors on that front either. But, at the same time, you have other studios using the flip Marvel logo even though the Marvel Studios one is a little different. It's still close enough that people would associate them.

  Why Not? If you can get away with making a movie just as great with a PG13 rating rather than an R, then you should always go for PG 13. The only time you really want to go with an R rating if it means you'll be able to make a better movie with it, otherwise there's really no reason to do it. In any case, it's really not necessary for the movies that MCU is doing. We must remember that a huge demographic for superhero movies are kids and teens. You really don't want to alienate that demographic just to appeal to a select few.

MCU 2. But I can't see them suddenly making a Rated R Iron Man. I've long thought this was a great idea worthy of crossing media platforms. And thought the ready-made, preexisting Knights brand would be perfect, and that they should use some if not all of the old characters. Daredevil, obviously, and Punisher if they've the rights to use him. (Do they?) Ghost Rider, like someone suggested in this thread earlier I think, if they can use the character. Moon Knight, maybe. And so on. Do they do anything currently in terms of uniquely branding the "Defenders" shows -- JJ, DD, Cage, Fist? I've not seen any of them but have heard they're a bit grittier, more methodically paced, and have a sort of a hard-boiled tone to them. Or are they just "MCU" just the same as the new Guardians?
