Qt3’ers, where will you take your shots?
I’m pretty sure there’s a bona fide F-bomb in one of the kid-friendly X-Men movies, when one of them asks Wolverine to team up and he says something Wolverine-ish like “fuck off”. But maybe it was in a Deadpool movie, in which case it doesn’t count.

The article mentions both the (Fox) X-Men and Deadpool movies as not having the same House of Mouse ideas…
Almost since the second Tony Stark finished saying “I am Iron Man,” Marvel fans have wondered when or if they would see an R-rated release in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For more than a decade, Disney has dashed their hopes. Some speculated that the MCU’s latest installment, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , would be the one to break the parental-rating barrier, but when the verdict was announced, the Motion Picture Association handed down the same answer as always: PG-13. Deadpool 3 seems set to snap that streak
The PG-13 F-bomb is a time-honored tradition, a single-shot pistol of profanity used to punctuate the serious, the ridiculous, and everything in between. It’s also a get-out-of-R-free pass that the MCU and Disney have refused to cash in (though Fox’s X-Men movies never hesitated to).
Side Note, this reminds me that I still want to see The New Mutants…
Yeah, that makes sense. Personally, I see no need for Marvel movies to push the profanity envelope. This stuff is specifically created for families and although it’s fun to think of Rocket Raccoon swearing up a blue streak, it really has no place in what Disney is doing.
If you want swearing, DC has you covered! And not just the Suicide Squad line! I believe Batman told Joker to fuck himself in the Zack Snyder cut. Or he said “I’ll fucking kill you” or “You’re a fucker” or “You’re a fuckhead” or some dumb thing.

“Why did you say that word?!”
No you don’t.
I finally watched new mutants last night. It wasnt that bad.
I think a main reason is that one of my favorite XMen comics was the one where Kitty Pryde was alone in the Mansion and being stalked by, effectively, Ripley’s Alien. I should still have this bagged and in a box…
I’ve been hoping for a similar vibe when I watch it.
Why would anyone expect a Doctor Strange movie to be rated R? The first one felt like a bog standard PG-13 superhero movie to me. Was there a strip club scene or something I’m forgetting?
I think this might have been a cameo in First Class.
This is such a terrible idea.
Maybe because I saw it on a flight, or maybe because I’m less discerning than your average Qt3 movie expert, but I really enjoyed New Mutants. Or maybe thanks to super low expectations…
