Hahahah. YEP. They saw the Marvel name and just assumed that all superhero movies were made for kiddos.

The mass exodus at various points (especially during/after the sex montage) made the movie experience that much better.

Honestly, I think it's probably more a PR thing anyways. I'll have a more concrete opinion after seeing the movie. With my 10-year old.

Can you imagine if Evangelicals forced this?

The double-standard Islam gets is so stupid. You can thank liberals for that one (and most things that go wrong.)

The difference, for anyone willing to pay attention, is that Islam is Malaysia's official state religion. While America has a Christian majority, Christianity is not our official religion. America has neither a declared religion nor language on the federal level.

By that logic, we should be talking about the backwards thinkings of some Christians in the U.S. as well.

When you move here, you abide by the Constitution, not matter what your personal opinion is.

That has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Islam is too intolerant to have anything against their beliefs touch their echo chambers.

The composition fallacy for which we can see here is nothing more than an obvious example that Christianity is too intolerant to accept any facts that challenge their echo chambers.

There are plenty of Muslims who are not fine with homosexuality.

Firstly this is not a theocracy, and for it to become one would require a new constitution. Well do you think that the 1% of the population that is Muslim could win an election , take both houses and the POTUS seat...

really you think that Muslims are a large group in the USA? do you? Cause they are about 1% and most having lived here their entire lives as have their parents. They make up our armed services, they are teachers, doctors pharmacists

I find your false narrative to be exactly the type of fear mongering and hate that leads people to do dumb things. Your pretense that Muslims have some agenda to subvert the USA is not only mean it is un-American. You need to educate yourself on this topic, and please use data not breitbart.
Thanks. This is just another Islamophobic thread bringing an issue from *Malaysia* as somehow being relevant to a minority in *America* that is less than *1%* of the population.

And really who cares? The Bible Belt Christians, Mormons and Orthodox Jews won't like the film either. Oh well, we just won't watch it just like we don't watch movies with cursing, sex, or other activities we don't want our children observing.

Evangelicals *do* try to force their views through our *secular* Government. A lot.

If you are attempting to make a movie as art, then you shouldn't give a sh*t if it offends people and should fight to keep the original vision.

If you are attempting to make a movie cash in, go ahead and chop it apart, cynically modify it to appeal to target demographics, cram in product placement and stealth adverts, and merchandise the sh*t out of it.
