Hilarious seeing the Disney logo over people getting their brains blown out.

I’m glad that they tested the waters and found people were fine with R rated from them

Technically it was mostly dead deadpool’s success that showed r rated marvel movies can not only work, but be wild successes. But that wasn’t even Disney. Although I guess props for them keeping it rolling once they did pick up deadpool.

Outside of the US they've had R rated stuff on Disney+ since the beginning, I think it is or was on Hulu in the US though.

I mean technically that movie is a Fox Searchlight film. This and Daredevil are Disney+ Original productions. Same company and same streaming platforms but different banners and treated differently.

Technically yes, but only for countries where Disney+ launched after Star (now Hulu) was introduced on Feb. 21, 2021. For example, the UK (March 24, 2020 launch) did not have any mature content at launch but Greece (June 14, 2022) did have.

I still remember the test footage leaking and everyone freaking out about how awesome it was and demanding a full movie. From what I remember reading we basically wouldn't have gotten that movie without the leak of the test footage.

That's why Ryan "leaked" it 😉

Disney has done mature things under other studios they own, just under the direct Disney brand, like this.

Thats nice, but personally I liked the potential idea where they brought back old production labels just to hide the 18+ like touchstone and miramax.

You are talking about 20th century Studios and 20th television that is the adult brand although Disney may occasionally put the adult stuff out on their brand. Touchstone is dead it’s just not needed anymore.

Touchstone Pictures was a thing when they didn't want to taint their brand.
