    You know whats funny? When Agents OF Shield came out yall bashed it, calling it crap, cheesy, kiddie in the same fashion as the MCU movies.
    When Daredevil came out yall looked the other way claiming that its not part of the universe and using "it tv" to win an argument. Thats because yall never thought Marvel would ever go that far..

      It's irrelevant. DD is far from the average tone of the MCU.

        You wish it was irrelevant because its too violent/brutal and it disproves your statement that "MCU is kiddie"..

          It doesn't. There are a lot more kiddie products than mature products in the MCU.

                      How come Batman and Superman didnt bleed when they fought? But Capt and Iron Man did when they fought.

                          Is it a silly question? Batman and Superman have a back alley brawl and none of them bleed/bruised and you swear DC is for "adults" "mature"?
                          Cap and Iron Man fight and they bleed/bruise, Bucky's arm was even blasted off..

                              Not true.
                              You should do research before you write incorrect non-seanse.
                              What are some R-rated movies that have been released by Disney?
                              By Mickey Lin
                              It really depends on what you mean by Disney.
                              The Walt Disney Company is a multinational media conglomerate and it has many subsidiaries. Like many multinational conglomerates, Disney uses subsidiaries to cater to different demographics.
                              The Disney label is associated with kids-friendly fare (ie Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, etc) and so I cant think of any R-rated films that have been released under the Disney label. It would go against their brand and target demographic.
                              I have listed some of the subsidiaries they own or owned and the R-rated films that were released by them.
                              Disney, the multinational conglomerate, owned Miramax Films from 19932010.
                              If you think that Disney had no influence over Miramaxs releases, James B. Stewarts book Disney War documents how Disney then-CEO Michael Eisner demanded that Miramax to drop their investment in Michael Moores controversial documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 and reminded Miramax that Disney had the right to veto any Miramax film if it appeared that its distribution would go against Disneys interests. (For more details, check out Fahrenheit 9/11)
                              From this perspective, anything released by Miramax and Dimension Films during this time period could technically be considered as released by Disney, the multinational conglomerate. Miramax owned the genre label Dimension Films (specializing in genre films).
                              Some of the R-rated films that Miramax released during this time period:

                              Quentin Tarantinos Pulp Fiction (1994)

                              Quentin Tarantinos Kill Bill Volume 1 and Volume 2 (2003-2004)

                              Peter Jacksons Heavenly Creatures (1994)

                              Kevin Smiths Clerks (1994)

                              Gary Felders Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (1995)

                              Woody Allens Mighty Aphrodite (1995)

                              Danny Boyles Trainspotting (1995)

                              Anthony Minghellas The English Patient (1996)

                              Gus Van Sants Good Will Hunting (1997)

                              Lasse Hallstrms The Cider House Rules (1999)

                              Steven Soderberghs Full Frontal (2002)

                              Some of the R-rated films that Dimension Films released during this time period:

                              Robert Rodriguezs From Dusk Till Dawn (1996).

                              Robert Rodriguezs Sin City (2005)

                              Robert Rodriguezs The Faculty (1998)

                              Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998)

                              Wes Cravens Scream (1996)

                              Wes Cravens Scream 2 (1997)

                              Wes Cravens Scream 3 (2000).

                              Bad Santa (2003)

                              The Amityville Horror (2005)

                              Please note that I didnt list Scream 4 since it was released in 2011, after Disney sold Miramax and Dimension Films to Filmyard Holdings in 2010.
                              Disney owns Touchstone Pictures since 1984 and Disney uses the Touchstone Pictures label to release films that are mature and darker than the Disney label would allow.
                              Some of the R-rated films that Touchstone Pictures have released are:

                              Ruthless People (1986)

                              D.O.A. (1988)

                              Garry Marshalls Pretty Woman (1990)

                              When a Man Loves a Woman (1994)

                              Con Air (1997)

                              Paul Verhoevens Starship Troopers (1997)

                              Snake Eyes (1998)

                              Tony Scotts Enemy of the State (1998)

                              The list of films is by no way comprehensive but hopefully shows that the Disney conglomerate, through its various subsidiaries and labels, have released plenty of R-rated films from Quentin Tarantinos Kill Bill to Tony Scotts Enemy of the State. Its also interesting to think that the Disney company have in some ways contributed to the release of films with titles like Enemy of the State and Sin City. It sort of put things into perspective about complicated nature of the film industry.
                              By Carrie Rickey
                              Among the R-rated movies that Disney's Touchstone subsidiary has released are Pretty Woman, Ruthless People and Outrageous Fortune.

                              Touchstone Pictures is a film distribution label of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Previously, it was operated as a active film production banner of The Walt Disney Studios, owned by The Walt Disney Company. Established on Wednesday 15 February 1984 by then-Disney CEO Ron W Miller as Touchstone FIlms. Its releases are typically more adult orientated than those under the Disney label, although the features, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and The Nightmare Before Christmas, which used to be released under the Touchstone banner, are now considered as "Disney" movies (the former featured Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and many other Disney characters, though it also featured characters from other studios while the latter was featured in the Kingdom Hearts series: a Disney/Square Enix video game crossover and the latter was released under Walt Disney Pictures upon its theatrical re-release in 2007). Another Touchstone film Reign of Fire may also considered as a "Disney" movie.
