Age appropriate??????

[toasty]

So I catch Deadpool Wolverine last night, got there while the previews were playing, very dark, alien romulus footage, take seat toward front because it was kinda crowded, watch movie, laugh a lot but can't decide if I liked movie or if DP peaked at the X-Force parachute scene in #2

Then the lights come up and confirm what I thought I was hearing. There are a ton of kids, many 10 or under watching this film.

Now I know I'm a boomer prude with the vapors by saying this, BUT HOLY SHIT PEOPLE LEAVE YOUR KIDS AT HOME



SPOILER COMING BUT NOT REALLY BECAUSE Y'ALL KNOW THIS ALREADY



Because this movie is nothing but people getting stabbed, cursing, sexual jokes, and sometimes all 3 at the same time. My god if you are a parent putting your toddler aged kid on a booster seat to watch that, there is something wrong with your approach to parenting.

Now tell me how wrong, stupid, ugly, out of touch and old I am.

'Murica in the modern era.

It's an R rated film. Why would a parent take their kids to an R rated film?

Back in my day if I wanted to see an R rated film, I would have to buy a ticket to a PG film and then sneak into the R rated movie. If your old enough to be doing that, you are old enough to see the R rated film anyway.

 

[Sakuraba'sEar]

I wouldn't take my kids to see this. My wife monitors everything they watch for anything bad. But when I was a kid I watch rated R stuff all the time, and then when we got Internet it only got worse

Kids see 100x times worst on the Internet theses days...

 

[freakroor]

I remember seeing Terminator 2 and Braveheart when i was 10 yrs old. i turned out fine.

The days of thinking you can shield your children from the dark underbelly of the world are long gone, homie.

 

[AFanNotAFighter]

When I was teaching third grade half my students had seen the Chucky movies, Freddie Kruger movies, Halloween movies and Friday the 13th flicks. Many parents nowadays just don't believe in shielding their kids from many things.

 

[jeff7b9]

I personally filter what my kids see and wouldn't put my 12 and 13 year old daughters in that theater.

But my biological dad had me watching way way way the fuck worse shit younger... so... I was pretty desensitized.

Not saying that is good. He was a useless bum.

Do your best to raise your kids and realize others are gonna phone it in. It is what it is.

Back when I was a kid...it was still pretty bad. Something I've realized after growing up, there's a lot of things kids are exposed to, too early.

 

[Ponchik]

Leave your kids at home where they see violence on TV, internet, video games and when daddy hits mommy.

 

[ObsoleteSoul]

Kind of fell into the trap of letting my kids watch things very inappropriate for their ages because I grew up on horror and more "spicy" content than anyone else I knew. I really wish I had not... It is too late now since the youngest is already almost 17. It really isn't the best movie to show kids, and I would tell parents to avoid seeing it with them if they are younger than probably 16-17.

Shit messes with you as a young person, even if you cannot recognize the signs. Not on the same level as actual abuse or anything, but it functions the same way imo. You wont understand the impact until later on in life, when you have had enough cycles on this planet that the patterns become apparent .

 

[Jackonfire]

Man, if you think Deadpool was bad for kids, wait until you hear about Grimms' Fairy Tales.

 

[jx820]

It's an R rated film. Why would a parent take their kids to an R rated film?

I went to see Team America World Police in theaters and there were little kids under 10. And it wasn't a situation where the parents thought puppets meant kids movie and left. Those children stayed throught the sex, and water sports, drunken vomiting, and long speaches about d**ks and p***ies.

I volunteered for Big Brothers Big Sisters years ago. My "little" was like 13 or 14 and wanted to see Jackass 3D in theaters.

Now he was a pretty mature kid, but that was a HUGE mistake. Leaving I was like "They may not let me be your big anymore".

Well, I hope you still are a big brother, and doing maybe a tiny bit better of a job at it lol. We need BBs, and I had one for a short time. We all make mistakes. I do think limiting exposure to this type of stuff is a good thing. Sure, the internet is there and they can go see it themselves, but when you give the green light to them, it changes everything. It goes from taboo to being a way of life. From "ohhhh this is bad", to "this is the way it should be".

I might sound prudish, but just speaking from my experiences as a child, and how it really messed me up far into life.

Unfortunately I'm not anymore. It was great, but my career, family, etc... just caught up to me.

I still keep in touch with my "little" though.

Snowflakes...

When I was a kid we were watching movies like The Predator at the movies

 

[Brom Bones]

"Parenting" has gone to shite since most of us were kids. Parents want a friend instead of a child to raise to adulthood. Also, some of them might not want to pay for a babysitter, and since kids can't be left alone without CPS being called, you take them to the theaters.

But, yeah, when your parents didn't give a damn, you probably pass that down to your kids. Every generation since Gen X has been worse than the previous one and I don't see it getting better anytime soon.

 

[IndyCovaHart]

kids see things these days that someone a few generations ago could go an entire lifetime without ever seeing.

The days of trying to shield children from the dark underbelly of the world are long since over.
