And speaking of things they got under the censors' radar...

Now, nobody is going to say Infinity War is a kids movie, because nobody in the world would classify genocide, murder, torture and hyper-violence as kid-friendly. Well, maybe Quentin Tarantino. It's a PG-13 (or a 12A in the UK), which means it's squarely aimed at families.

Marvel need kids to see it because they're the key to turning millions into billions (as is already being proven), so it's somewhat strange that Bruce Banner's "troubles" with Hulk are so thinly veiled as an erectile dysfunction allegory and that there's literally a whole conversation about Groot's "twig" penis at one point. Good, kid-friendly material, that.
