Who cares. 2k isn’t even that many. That’s like speaking at a high school assembly and 2/3s of the audience, like, mildly agreeing. Anyone who likes your comment is just gonna cringe when they see the edit. Plus it drags away from whatever deserved the likes.

I’m so glad because it means that he’s probably willing to play Wolverine more if Ryan and/or Deadpool is involved… which means there’s a good chance of seeing more of Ryan in the MCU

[@TheWhisperingPenis]

Hes talked more about it. Its not that he doesn't want to play the character, he truly loves it. Its that he doesn't want to ruin it. You get older, you wonder if you are killing your legacy. Theres probably a lot of pull back and forth in his mind regarding this.

If your child cannot differentiate between the real world and fiction, you have bigger issues then you realize.

[@lunamequa]

Why is this always a conversation? It really needs to stop. There are movies for kids all of the time. There are channels dedicated to children’s entertainment, education and development. Maybe parents should monitor those channels and decide which shows their kids can watch. How hard is that?

[@parryyotter]

There were a handful of kids in the theater when I saw it, and I know almost everything went over their head. But they still enjoyed it. I remember being a kid and the adult jokes in my favorite movies flew right past me, but I still loved those movies.

@@parryyotter The same for my childhood and most movies have aged well. I think as a future Mom I will be picky about what my kids watch. However, that will be for my husband I to figure out.
