the guardians of the galaxy soundtrack is a real beautiful thing it seems like it really opened kids up to music in a touching way

Guys, there's two things to clarify: 01. This is the first F-Bomb in the MCU not Marvel as a whole. So, Blade, Deadpool and Logan didn't count 02. This is the first F-Bomb which is a full F word that wasn't blipped. So, previous F word where a character mention half of the word then it was cut to credit or noise (Peter Parker in Far From Home, Aunt May in Homecoming, Nick Fury in Infinity War, Iron Man 2 court scene, etc) didn't count.
