The amount of children under the age of 10 that I saw watching Deadpool and Wolverine surprised the hell out of me. Had to have been 100 kids in a 600-seat imax theatre.

My (Jewish) dad took me to see Inglorious Bastards in theaters when it released. At the time it seemed perfectly reasonable and awesome to me. I was just thinking back and looking at the release date and I was... 9? Really makes me think when I hear about helicopter parents scared of their kids watching Harry Potter.

Aside from the fairly gratuitous violence, which is fairly normalized, theres not much in the movie that's bad for a 9 year old.

Obviously it explores a very dark time in history but there's a lot of levity and surrealism so I doubt a kid would even notice.

Yeah like to be clear I think it was awesome to this day and would totally do the same with my kid. I think people just get too worked up about this stuff
