Also, my youngest son was asking where "gold panther" was. I had to remind him that he died in the BP movie. That was harder on him lol.
To those who took children to see Infinity War (unmarked spoiler thread)
- Thread starter MasterYoshi
- Start date
To be fair, Disney's got a long history of traumatizing kids, whether it's Bambi, Old Yeller, the Lion King or the heroes of Infinity War.
I do think though that we're now living in an age where if you want to soften the blow, the miracle of waiting for home video will probably do the trick, especially for a movie like this with an upcoming sequel. The experience of watching The Empire Strikes Back now is a very different experience from Gen X kids who didn't even know how long they had to wait to find out about Han Solo's ultimate fate. It's probably the same here, where if future parents are really concerned, they can just marathon it, so as soon as Infinity War is done, just put on IW2, and immediately get that cathartic relief of seeing the situation get resolved.

I'm just going to say it. How is anyone getting emotional over this first of a two part film when we know who comes back? The hell is going on with you all???
Yep. The irony about this is that in the UK our version of PG-13 (12A) was introduced as a direct response to parents complaining that their kids couldn't go and see the first raimi Spidey movie.
Parents taking their kids to see movies that are rated above their age? Absolutely. I haven't even seen the movie, but I knew a lot of people were gonna "die" before it was released. It's the parents choice ultimately. I wonder if people will bitch at Disney about this even though they gave the rating.
"gold panther"
yeah that suit was tight, i can see kids liking it
Don't be obtuse. Most of these kids don't know squat.
And then being brought back doesn't actually mean they didn't go through the process of dying. Even if it's getting reversed, they had to go through that fear and their friends had to watch them die and live with that trauma for years considering A 4 picks up 5 years later.
INFINITY WAR SPOILERS BELOW
I mean only 2 people really died and I'd bet Loki is coming back. You know all the others are coming back right? They have other movies to make. Really took the wind out of their "deaths" for me
Exactly show kids the story of Griffith so they know what a real hero looks like.
No. God no
There's a conclusion to how high Marvel are willing to set RDJ's pay bracket, so it might not work that way in movies.
Yeah, comic book movies aren't appropriate for that kind of thing since half of them will be back in no time.
I was traumatized by Robocop, Return to Oz, and Superman 3. Those were nightmare enducing, literally.
They don't make them like they used too!
Although Robocop was a hard R, it was marketed to young boys. And young boys loved robots/cyborgs thanks to Transformers so there was going to interest.

"Pay attention junior, because I am about to explain how babies are made."
And yet, the OP's kid wasn't able to handle the themes. PG-13 gets conflated as PG for a lot of people and that is a problem.
Every kid is different and ratings exist for a reason.
welp, I havent seen BP so I guess that happened >_>
I guess thats on me tho, oh well.
This movie should be rated R.
It was harder to watch than the last Hobbit movie that was Rated R just for the battle scenes.
Several deaths.
Several slow, tortuous deaths.
Tons of violence.
Lots of disturbing torture scenes.

is having an emotional reaction to a movie the same as "not being able to handle" it? surely the kid will be fine in a day or two.
Us nerds can be very wacky sometimes lol.
Simpson's comic book guy answer personified.
He literally said the kid decided he didn't want to see heroes all die again when declining a future viewing.
Bah, I was watching R rated movies as a child. This is nothing.
I'm talking about the "adults" getting twisted up. Stop being so dense. The kids will be fine.
Edit: Not worth it
On topic
My daughter cried as the deaths were happening but lost it st the end when Spidey died. That death hit her hard. She was sobbing.

not wanting to watch an avengers movie twice just sounds like an early sign of having good taste to me.
on an unrelated note, having only seen guardians of the galaxy and like half of doctor strange as far as marvel movies go, reading the plot synopsis of infinity war on wikipedia was very confusing. "i know some of the words" kind of confusing.
I feel bad for you if your first R rated film was when you were 17.
