Here's hoping Zack Snyder decides to direct X4!!!
Yes, we all know how much you read the comics (how could we miss your growing list of sigs to prove it? I think you belong to more imaginary organizations than anyone else on this forum).
Your confusion on this issue is that you believe we don't understand why it should be rated R. We do, but we just understand the reasons why it probably won't be.
The thing that most of us do realize is the marketing machine that goes into studio films like this will most likely make it a PG-13 instead of an R. Not saying I like it, but that's just how it is...and that's basically what Zack Snyder was saying in the interview that started this thread. There's just no way.
So I don't dwell on it. Without a miracle, it's just not going to happen. The movie is, however, going to happen...and I look forward to how it does turn out. That's just the reality. It has nothing to do with who's read more comic books.
And on that note, I was in a comics store this week, and noticed that Marc Cerasini, who wrote the Weapon X novel was there buying comics. I overheard him talking to the guy at the counter (it was a loud conversation) and he mentioned that he was working on the sequel. From the plot details I heard, that book is going to be another total gorefest, and I am so looking forward to reading it.
The whole PG-13 issue doesn't bother me because I think that story already exists in so many different mediums from the original comic, to the animated series, and to the movies. It's all variations on the same story, used to the extent that medium will allow it. I understand that if I'm watching the cartoon, it's going to be a mild version of the story. I know that if I'm watching a movie, it's going to be held back a bit because of the ratings system. And I know if I'm reading a novel or comic, all bets are off and let the carnage fly.
As long as it's told well, then it's told effectively. That's more important to me than the bloodshed meter.

Wolverine can be a PG-13 movie because the main character has been fighting with claws for almost 40 years without relying on gore, nudity, and swearing to make him prosper. Wolverine became popular because of his demeanor and mysterious past… not because his villains spill blood. I agree that an R rating would be optimal to include everything regarding the character, but he can easily exist within the bounds of a PG-13 movie. He certainly has in the books.Horhey said:
But there was blood in X2...when Logan escaped Weapon X he was covered in blood...

), "Wolverine" can be a great, dark and intense movie even if it´s PG-13. Okay, I wanted it to be R (as much as I would like to see Wolvie with a MAX title) but a good director can suggest a lot of things, without being too explicit. It´s not necessary to see tons of blood on the screen to feel the violence.
Bwahahahaha!!!Yes, we all know how much you read the comics (how could we miss your growing list of sigs to prove it? I think you belong to more imaginary organizations than anyone else on this forum).
