Local H Jay

Yeah, hope the fan posters are ok! Just wanted something until we get official ones

Couldn't find a decent one with the correct actor, but if someone finds one send it my way

Here’s a neat video about Loki, the mythological figure. It’s interesting in its’ own right, but I post it here because the academic study of the myth(s) of Loki might inform the show. Basically, there is no constant to the myth the way there is for other figures like Thor. The nature of Loki changes depending on the time, place, and who’s telling the story. Sometimes he’s good natured but mischievous, sometimes he’s true neutral. Sometimes he’s an anti-hero, sometimes he’s literally Satan. Sometimes he’s put upon to clean up the messes of gods supposedly more good and noble than he, and even calls them out on it. I’m not saying the show producers are scholars, but this is fun to think about.

this stop motion show in the vein of Robot Chicken and Harley Quinn is one of the few Marvel shows not on D+

What now?? Is there another Harley show in stop motion?

No, but the current HQ show has a lot of deep cuts, irreverence and is aimed at a mature audience, so there are a lot of similarities.

Thirith

We just finished Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and while there's a lot there that I like, the overall writing and implementation were largely meh. My main problems with the series are probably identical to those of others: much of the writing needed another pass or two, and character motivations were all too often vague and woolly, in particular Karli. With the same plot and cast, they could've done something considerably better.

"Aimed at?" Even my BIL who shows horror movies to his 4 year old was aghast at what he thought was a normal animation at first too. Good thing it's probably one of the best DC things going right now.

Not sure what your BIL was expecting. It’s labeled TV-MA, but then again you also said he shows horror movies to a 4 year old.

Thawmus

Not gonna lie, the Harley Quinn Show's version of the DC universe is the best DC universe.

There is far more gore and adult situations in the HQ series than in a lot of "lower end" horror movies. But I don't disagree, I'm consistently appalled by that.

Eat it You Nasty Pig.

I’m consistently amazed by the number of parents who see a mature/R/Mva/whatever rating and think “yes this is suitable for children”, even sight-unseen

Nobeard

For Marvel TV so far, the highs have been great and the lows merely mediocre, not bad. I'm a big fan of the MCU, so the good easily outweighs the bad for me. I love Tom Hiddleston as Loki and the trailers for his show look good. I am hype.

I don’t think they do see that. They just see it’s animated, and think therefore it’s safe for kids. Or they think “super hero” means “for kids” and let them watch Venom.

This is basically how I got traumatized by Watership Down as a wee tot.

Oh an animated bunny movie,..this'll be fine.

When the other half and I went to see Sin City in the theater a young family (mother, father, two small kids) walked in right at the beginning of the Marv segment.

They lasted maybe 5 minutes before storming out.

EmperorSeth

I still remember when a dad took his little kids to the first Deadpool. I don't believe they lasted long.

yes

I saw it in theaters twice. First time, a mom and her kids left during the, "My boyfriend told me this was a superhero movie, but that guy turned the other guy into a fucking kabob!" bit.

Second time, same moment in the film, but it was a young couple, and the girlfriend was shouting the whole way out about how we were all bad people for watching such a filthy movie.

Local H Jay

I know quite a few families that let small kids watch adult cartoons, I lived with a family with a 6 year old they let watch Rick and Morty all the time. Guess I can't judge too harshly, since I grew up watching South Park

Thawmus

Yeah I remember growing up and being picked on regularly for being the one kid whose parents didn't let him see Batman Returns.

So while I'm not a parent, I'm pretty confident that if I was it would be real hard for me to deny them access to stuff their peers were watching.

Hydropolo

Nah, it's not hard. I don't care what my kids peers think. That's why it's good to be dad. (Perspectives on this change a lot when you become a parent if you really care about raising them well). That being said, everyone has their tolerances, whether good/bad/right/wrong. Classic example is American squeamishness over sex but allowance of lots of violence.

For example, I don't like gratuitous language use, but I don't mind little bits because the older (7 yr old) and I have talked at length about words that are good and bad and why, and he seems to make decent choices.

I don't like a lot of sexual content because I'm just not in a place that's easy to discuss it, mentally.
I don't like a lot of violence (I even sometimes back off on basic superhero violence) depending on how the kids have been acting. We have also had long talks about the use of violence (in so much as young children can get it)

Finally, and this one is becoming more of a thing. My wife's family is pretty conservative (not like American conservative, but sharing some of the same things) religious, so things like homosexuality can be... tricky. We work through it the best we can, and mostly stick to love is love and so on.

Point being, everyone has tolerances and as a parent, you have to decide what's appropriate for a child, though some people make just bad choices.

We know.

I enjoyed how there were advertisements for Deadpool that were basically "don't fucking bring your little kids to this movie, it's gory and violent and has boobs and also fuck you if want the movie to not have all that".

tzeentchling

To be fair, some people going to movies can be extremely clueless. I have a friend who used to be a theater manager, and he's told me about the (many) times he had to refund people money because, in the movie clearly based on the very popular musical of the same name, there was singing and dancing and musical numbers, and that's "not what we expected."

Local H Jay

I'll never forget the time me and my pops woke up and went to see a movie on daylight savings day (and forgot it was that day)

We went in to see Sin City and asked for tickets for the 2 o'clock show. The guy looked at us and was like "are you sure?" and we just went uh yeah, that's the one we wanna see. The sell us the tickets and walk into... The last 30 minutes of the movie. When the credits rolled we just sat there like... Wait what?

Luckily they did refund us but all the dude had to say was "it's almost over" or something lmao

lunchbox12682

1. I saw people bring kids to Watchmen. I'm sure blue penis is a delight for the whole family.
2. Reaching way back, my friend has the story of how his mom sat his younger siblings down for a delightful puppet based show called "Greg the Bunny". Which if you haven't seen was pretty good.

Marathon

My mom loved horror movies and I don’t know if we didn’t have a babysitter for the evening or what, but she took me with to see A Nightmare on Elm Street 6 in the theaters. It was cool, the last few minutes were in 3-D. I was 8 at the time.

Shadowfire

My parents brought me to see Coming to America in theaters. They checked, found out it had a couple swear words, weren't worried about it. The beginning with the "royal penis washers" they just about lost it.

Luckily for them I was a dumb kid and just thought it was funny that he had people to wash his penis for him.

I remember when I saw Black Swan a mother brought her young children. They got audibly upset at a couple spots before leaving.

Nobeard

My mom rented the movie with the cute, cuddly creature because I begged her. Thus I got to watch Gremlins when I was about seven.

I've mentioned this before but a new detail just came to mind. I didn't watch it alone, my grandmama watched it with me. I covered my eyes during the especially scary parts, but she didn't turn it off because I asked her not to. Thus was born a lifelong fascination with monsters. Thank you, grandmama.

Oof. That one starts out fairly benign, then just accelerates. Wife and I went in blind and loved it.

They showed us Watership Down in elementary school. Fun times

I don't think I've ever seen Watership Down, but I read the book in like 4th grade.
