I wonder if it is even possible these days to make a good superhero film without it being "Rated R."

The whole genre feels neutered these days; completely lacking potency. Deadpool and Logan are really the only ones I can think of that I found good. Maybe for younger children other superhero films are still entertaining.

Rated PG for Piece of Garbage.

While I still find enjoyment in PG-13 CBMs (Infinity War was fucking amazing), some comic book properties need an R rating in order to justify the elements of said character, this being one of them. For Sony to butcher Carnage like this and then insult our intelligence by saying "if you really know the comics, there is no R here" when in said comics, he literally rips people's guts out and mutilates them in extremely graphic detail is a whole other level of fail.

Moreover, I'm worried of the terrible precedent this COULD set. Before long, we could get PG-13 Deadpool (and not just the edit we're getting in December), PG-13 Punisher, PG-13 Blade, PG-13 Spawn, franchises that were never meant to be anything BUT R being kiddified. It's not about "needing to quench that blood lust", it's about respecting the damn source material. Hell, like I said earlier, Marvel is in talks with Wesley Snipes about a Blade movie for phase 4 of the MCU. This COULD spell trouble for that.  

I don't think Marvel is that stupid, though. I think they know it's an R-rated property through and through and was never meant to be anything less (and could never work with anything less), unlike Sony with Carnage.
