By your logic, the Friday the 13th movies are High Art. Yep, one of the better horror movies i know. But someone like you who was not born in the 80's can't know that either. You probably grew up with films like Fast and Furious and Transformers. No, I watched them. I just don't think an R-Rating automatically makes something inherently better than anything rated less than R.

They made Guardian's into A listers by making them slapstick low brow comedians (the lazy way out) to appease children. Oh, no they didn't. Keep eating those sour grapes.

Internecine strife between the Ackbars?! DOH!
Is this a red Ackbar, blue Ackbar thing? Like the east coast, west coast thing from the 90's?
Imagine you could go back in time to the 1980s and tell people Ice-T will end up playing a cop on a tv show, Ice Cube will star in family comedies and Dr. Dre will mass market trendy, overpriced headphones. I'd throw in Trump as president but in the 80s they probably would've seen that coming.

Quality is not determined by rating or even by what the movie is about. It's determined by how it's done.

We'll finally get some decent X-men movies then. Just so you know, Kevin Feige generally loves the X-Men movies and even worked on the earlier films.

Has someone shown to be mad about this? Not me. I think seeing the X-Men in the MCU where they belong is going to be great. I'd love to see an Avengers vs. X-Men movie. That would be awesome.
However, lets slow down our horsies a little bit... A lot of people on these boards seem to not like Fox's handling of the X-Men, and I'd certainly like to see what the MCU does with them, ...fine. BUT Fox is doing great financial business with them, and their plans with them go far. They are in production on several films in the X-universe as we speak; movies which will no doubt do well: Deadpool 2, New Mutants, X-Men Dark Phoenix, Gambit, X-Force, etc.
I'll bet anything that their deal includes FOX continuing to run as their own production studio and retaining movie rights to the X-Men, similar to the deal they've got with Sony and Spiderman (and Universal/Hulk). Fox wouldnt just give up their cash cow. This deal aint gonna be as simple as people are making it out to be.
And on another note: I'm not so sure I want Disney to have that much of a stranglehold on the movie industry. Competition creates a thriving market, not a giant, almost monopoly, pushing everyone else around.
Plenty of people on these very boards have complained a lot about this, saying Disney will ruin the X-Men. Well, I don't think Disney will ruin the X-Men. They haven't ruined the MCU (and IMO they haven't ruined Star Wars either) so why would they ruin the X-Men? If they do get folded into the MCU I expect the continuity will be greater. The one biggest gripe I have with the X-Men movies is that the continuity sucks!
My concern isn't MCU and X-Men. After all, the X-Men should be with other Marvel properties. I'm more concerned with Disney owning so much of the movie industry pie. As I said before, its starting to look monopoly-ish and that's NOT good for the industry. Monopolies NEVER are.

Seeing blood splatter, hearing a curse word, and seeing a tit (nice as that may be), does not equal a better story, or better directing, or better acting, or better editing, or better cinematography, and certainly doesn't make me enjoy super heroes more. It was appropriate for Deadpool and Logan, it could maybe work for a Batman movie, or a villain (Joker) or anti-hero (Punisher) centric movie, but that doesn't mean we should get flooded with R rated CBMs.

Universal and WB still exist.
