https://www.slashfilm.com/528947/pg-...es-study-says/ Run a search for "there's more violence in a pg-13 movie" An "R" rating doesn't necessarily mean it has to be THAT graphic. It could something simple. Like... Storm Shadow's running down the hallway of a Japanese castle, he slices a dude in half diagonally, jumps upward between the two halves, while pulling out his intestines, wraps them around another dude's neck (that was positioned directly behind the first victim) while simultaneously completing his upward leap between a rafter and the ceiling. He lands on his feet, flicks the blood from his sword with a wrist snap, all while still holding onto the first victim's intestines thereby hanging the second. I kid. But I would wouldn't mind a few John Wick style fight choreographed scenes in a GI Joe movie. As long as they result in more "OH SHIIIIIIIIIIIII!" moments than "WTF?! why even do that?!" I also think said violence should be character appropriate. You aren't gonna see Duke doing a bunch of f'd stuff. But Major Bludd? The fact is sometimes the hero of a film is defined by the depravity of the villain. Really good anime gets it right. I really don't want to see sex scenes in GI Joe. The older I get the more those irritate me and just get in the way of a story.

Have you seen some of the stuff in PG-13 movies? They literally get away with gruesome murder. This is an interesting article (written over 10 years ago. And it's gotten worse since then):

Just action, slicing dicing bodies and bullets flying! Doesn?t even have to be that gory. Just serious.

Picking up a "force sensitive," orphaned sand rat off of a sand planet, mentor "sacrificially" dies in the third act, main baddy's an all black, masked "sith," the droid is central to the plot (which is also a "MacGuffin" like Star Wars's), the relationship between Fin and Poe isn't dissimilar from Luke and Han, yadda yadda yadda, Starkiller/Deathstar. Though I will give him credit for putting the "Boba Fett" in the first film, instead of making the kiddies wait for the second (though the character and her death were even more worthless than Boba's - at that time, despite the "burp" lol). I'm glad you enjoyed it, but let's not pretend it was anything original.

Fixed the last part. :p But Mando was the saving grace, though despite being all but irrelevant, Rogue One was a good film.

Agreed.( season 1 and part of 2 - season 2 went sideways after a few episodes and 3 sucked)
Honorable mention is rogue one like you said.

I'll forgive Season 3 given the bullshit they had to endure over the course of the pandemic. It took moving a mountain to course correct from how badly Rodriguez fucked up Book of Boba. Like I told my son, if we don't get any more Mandalorian, that ending couldn't have been any better.

Have not watched any TMNT since the original cartoons and the first two movies in the theatre in 90-91. I am here for the darkness! As an aside, tried playing the video game (ps3) and got motion sickness or some shat but could not finish it lol Give me grime. Like you said does not have to be sex but must be rock n roll (or something like it) https://youtu.be/tKjZuykKY1I?si=hVzCN5wnMQWT8gYn |

BOBF was basically him doddering around town, smiling while holding his helmet, then hiring a hipster Vespa bike gang. WTH was even going on?
