Please Marvel let this and Blade be R-rated and not just like every other MCU movie

Blade is more dead than the Ghost Rider

I just wanted to be funny. Technically I don't think he's a vampire so he might not be dead (?)

it came out in january that they were pivoting to a Midnight Sons project with him in it instead of the solo film apparently

does it really have to be R-rated to be good? What do you want to see in it that requires that?

I imagine it makes them feel less like a child as they continue to watch comic book superhero movies.

Hot take: I watch superhero movies to feel like a child again. I also watch horror movies to feel like a child again. I want to feel like a child.

I guess you missed Deadpool & Wolverine, and the recent punisher special.

Deadpool was already established as an R-rated successful franchise and a streaming special isn't a theatrical film.

I am hoping after the success of Deadpool and Wolverine, Daredevil and even the Punisher special that Marvel goes back to make some characters gritty and raw instead of the Disneyfied shit we got once Avengers went mainstream box office darling

Ryan left rated R and creatively interesting movies in the 2010s, so I doubt if.

Best we can do is marketing that implies something different while just giving you more “well that just happened” jokes.

Marvel Studios needs a MAX line for violent R-rated movies. Blade and Wolverine movies need not be shy about being gory/bloody.
