History WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids / SuperheroFilms

** ''Film/BirdsOfPrey2020'' features fan-favorite ComicBook/HarleyQuinn but it contains tons of F-bombs, graphic violence, drug use and sexual themes, leading to the franchise's first R-rated theatrical release, making parents who bring children to see it extra guilty. Also, the marketing made this film seem more like a typical PG-13 superhero fare than an R rated movie like ''Film/{{Deadpool}}''. Not helping was the fact that ComicBook/HarleyQuinn has been heavily marketed to young girls for some time.

** ''Film/Deadpool2016'' and ''Film/Deadpool2'' have TONS of gory violence, LOTS of cursing, raunchy humor and a lot of things that shouldn't belong in an average PG-13 film. They are rated R for a very good reason.

*** Writer Grace Randolph made a petition to get ''Film/Deadpool2016'' released in an alternate PG-13 cut, so that kids who were fans of other superhero movies could go see it. Creator/RyanReynolds said he was sympathetic to her concerns, but that the movie was so raunchy and violent by design that a PG-13 cut would only be a few minutes long.

** ''Film/IronMan1'' for the first 5 minutes when Tony Stark gets exploded and captured in an Afghan cave, and then the painful surgery scene to a heart reactor. It also is notable for featuering an explicit sex scene in the beginning of as movie, which was avoided by later movies after Disney bought Marvel Entertainment.

** ''Film/{{Logan}}''. Like the aforementioned ''Film/Deadpool2016'' and its sequel, it does feature a popular ''ComicBook/XMen''–related character (in this case, ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}). Furthermore, Wolverine forms a father-daughter relationship with an adorable little girl. The catch? It's filled with so much violent and horrific imagery that parents would be wise ''not'' to take their kids to see it. (like ''Deadpool'', it earned an R rating) In fact, the first scene depicts Wolverine '''''[[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice jamming his claws through a]] {{mook}}'s head with the thug gurgling!''''' It doesn't help that this is the GrandFinale to Creator/HughJackman's tenure as Wolverine, meaning that kids would be not only scared, but also sad. Some clueless parents who don't care much about Hugh Jackman also thought it's a safe movie for their kids because one of the lead characters actually ''is'' a kid (Laura). So, they thought it was a good idea to let their kids see a little girl become a superheroine... and said little girl ends up murdering a lot of bad guys in pretty graphically violent scenes. Unlike the Deadpool movies, this isn't filled with colorful visuals and plenty of humor, which makes this film more like a Western or drama.

** In ''Film/SpiderMan1'', Mary Jane is nearly raped by gangbangers and wore clingy clothing that shows off her nipples.

** ''Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness'' is a straight-up dark fantasy horror movie especially since ''Creator/SamRaimi'' directed it. Some consider this not to be your typical Marvel film and it's much darker than most films of the MCU. The atmosphere doesn't help either.
