@petermaximoff MADE A FIRE FUCKING POST ABOUT THIS EXACT PHENOMENON AND I’D LIKE TO THANK YOU OP AND YOU SUNNY FOR STANDING UP FOR OUR MANS WHO HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG IN HIS LIFE EVER
Thor: Look, I usually do but I have an axe now and Disney wants to make billions of dollars so things need to stay PG-13 and while the Motion Picture Association of America’s standards that inform their decisions on ratings are mysterious and ridiculous to navigate, I feel pretty confident that they don’t want me to go for your head with an axe if we are to remain at a PG-13 rating. I may be able to cut off your head with this axe if the camera cuts away at a precise moment before impact and your blood is a cartoonish shade of slime green, or if your body just disintegrated into confetti upon impact and it was partnered with a fart sound effect, but we don’t have time to negotiate those changes right now and frankly I think they would not fit with the overall feel of this moment.
Nerdy Fact #1501: The producers of Star Trek included scenes of overt sexuality to deflect the focus of NBC’s Broadcast Standards Office censors from other controversial aspects in certain episodes, like blatant allegories of the Vietnam war and racism.
