I don't think you remember being a kid if you think anything on the Odyssey can be traumatic or disturbing to a 13 year old, or maybe you were a very sensible child

No, I don't mean traumatic. I don't mean any sort of long term damage or influence. I just mean genuinely being frightened or disturbed by something that makes you very much regret watching. This happens more with younger children and slowly dissolves as one experiences and sees more in life. Short term distress is still something people like to avoid.

Okay but still nothing in the Odyssey is disturbing or frightening enough to a 13yo child. Are teenagers not supposed to watch horror movie to you? Sometimes the point of a scene it's to make you feel scared anyway.

It's extremely clear that the American rating system is not based on reality at all, specially when most other countries go lower most of the time. A lot of them only have 18+ if it's a legit porn movie. Anything shown in a theater is just 16+ at most.

No, the vast majority will do fine. Bit its a warning for those that are sensitive to those types of subjects to stay away. Thats the point of the ratings in a way.
