Something superhero movie fans have criticized the MCU for over the years is “playing it safe” by always aiming their releases at the PG-13 crowd when the likes of Fox’s X-Men franchise and even DC have made R-rated comic book films such as Deadpool, Logan and Watchmen.

‘Untouchable’ Exposes How the Media Protected Harvey Weinstein for Decades
It was at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival that Harvey Weinstein, a crater-faced caricature of an asshole Hollywood movie producer, allegedly raped Rose McGowan. Following a screening of her film Going All the Way, McGowan, then 23, alleges that Weinstein invited her to a meeting at a restaurant that was then changed to his hotel suite. He was effectively her boss, since she’d already filmed a sizeable role in the sci-fi thriller Phantoms, which was to be distributed by the Weinstein-owned Miramax, as well as one of the most powerful men in the film industry, so she went.

How 'Black Panther' is both a popular film and Oscar worthy
The film, directed by Ryan Coogler with a predominantly black cast in a mainstream blockbuster, was already “popular” by box office standards. (Black Panther earned $1.3 billion worldwide.)

Rotten Tomatoes announced on Monday that it will be making some big changes to its site in the coming months. At least some of it aimed at curbing online trolls who have been known to bombard certain big movies (especially films with female and/or minority leads) with copious negative audience reactions in order to tilt the media narrative. The first big change is that users will no longer be able to essentially "review" a movie or comment on a film before they open in theaters.
