Pokémon: Detective Pikachu (Rob Letterman, May 10, 2019) Movie • Page 12

Wow

 

This has to be PG-13, right?

 

Most definitely. Pikachu even said hell in the trailer.

 

If only Dragonball Evolution had this team working behind it.

 

I feel like you might be able to get away with putting one hell in a PG movie, kind of like how you can put one fuck in a PG-13 movie.

This might not actually be the case but I'm just guessing. I would be pretty surprised if they actually went PG-13 for it. Not that I'd mind, and I guess with how quasi-horrifying some of the realistic pokemon are maybe they ARE going for that. But missing that PG selling point for kids is not something I'd expect.

 

I wouldn’t be too surprised. Having a film rated PG-13 won’t prevent people from purchasing tickets.

 

Yeah I sat next to an 8 year old at Deadpool so

 

It's not about preventing from purchasing tickets, it's about what demographic it's targeting. Making it PG-13 over PG shifts that demographic, mostly for families that might want to take their younger kids to see Pokemon as it's usually marketed as a kids thing. Of course that doesn't stop all parents from deciding to take a younger child, it's a case by case basis, but I'm saying as a general box office strategy.

 

That being said, like I said with the designs of some of the Pokemon plus some of the jokes it's going for PG-13 could be the thing it's doing. Which is cool and I'm down for, I would just be surprised that they're actually marketing it sort of better than I thought they would

 

let pikachu say fuck!

 

I just see more of the themes geared more towards adults who grew up with Pokemon. I could be wrong but it just feels that way.

 

actually you know what the whole mystery of the movie is if someone fuckin died or not so I guess that probably already throws PG out the window

 

pika pika

 

I am so hyped for this. PIKA FUCKING PIKA imo. What with this and Gen 8 of the games being announced tomorrow this is a fantastic time to be a fan of the franchise.

 

this is going to be the best movie of 2019

 

this is libel

 

heheheh I just clocked that this is being produced by LEGENDARY Pictures

nice

 

Please, no. Just no. That would be entirely inappropriate.

 

I find a talking mouse inappropriate.

 

i think the most we can hope for is a “i’m too old for this sh-HITMONLEE LOOK OUT”

 

For a movie based on a children’s video game, no.

I'd be OK with this also, creative ways to avoid actual swearwords can be fun sometimes
