LotR was pretty damned violent, and it was PG-13. People getting arms cut off, people getting shot with arrow, people getting their heads cut off.
TF: RotF likewise was extremely fowlmouthed, and it was PG-13.

Plus, as has been pointed out it wasn't until recently that Deadpool recieved and "adult" treatement in the comics, and was still everything he is, pretty much.
Gore and such is, and always has been a pretty lame crutch, and completely unessisary to the quality of a good film. A movie can be just as good without gratuitous gore, and likwise as most slasher films show us, it can be pretty weak with it.



An R rating doesn't mean anything to getting toys. We got kids line toys dedicated to Predator, and Aliens (Kenner was pretty successful with both). There were stuffed talking dolls of Freddy Krugar, for crissakes. (Yeah, let's tuck out daughter in bed with a doll representing a child molestor!)

Besides, with MU, we've probably already got toys of most characters who'd appear in a deadpool movie, anyway.

You both have a point. But Kenner and Hasbro are 2 different companies and aim at different age groups.
