Take your clothes off, we need to talk

Violence often does serve a purpose. For example, in superhero movies it's often how the heroes stop the bad guys. That teaches us important lessons about life, like that we should shoot health insurance CEOs.
I agree. The only people that can claim the violence doesn't serve a purpose with any intellectual honesty are the tiny number of anarcho-pacifists.
However, a superhero punching out a bad guy, or even a realistic depiction of a recent-ish war like in the opening of Saving Private Ryan, is very different from the kind of gratuitous onscreen gore that's all over the place now.
They'll claim the woodchipper serial killer stuff establishes who the badguy is or whatever, of course, but I don't buy it, and I definitely don't believe the producer is paying out that much on special effects for the sake of artistic integrity.

I think, there is a strong difference between pornography and artistic nudity and those should not be viewed as the same.
From Wikipedia on Nude (Art):
Kenneth Clark noted that sexuality was part of the attraction to the nude as a subject of art, stating "no nude, however abstract, should fail to arouse in the spectator some vestige of erotic feeling, even though it be only the faintest shadow—and if it does not do so it is bad art and false morals". According to Clark, the explicit temple sculptures of tenth-century India "are great works of art because their eroticism is part of their whole philosophy". Great art can contain significant sexual content without being obscene.
Ah, to be clear, gratuitous nudity/sex and gratuitous violence are both pornographic in their own way. Sorry, my bad.

I'm surprised to see your little tricks got upvotes this time. Your pro-russia content is usually too obvious to stand a chance. This comment did not fool me however
Don't get fooled buddy we are clearly not all human beings living in the same planet...

The closest thing I can remember seeing in the last few years to that is in The Boys when A-Train liquefies Huey's girlfriend. But I think giving us a sense of Huey's shock and trauma is absolutely necessary in that scene, because it establishes why he doesn't just take the settlement money and move on with his life. We need to believe this event has profoundly affected him and made it impossible for him to ignore the problems with superheroes.

Because there is nothing wrong with it.
fair enough i suppose.

so... Why are we naked?
I don’t know, but there’s very chilly weather here and my pee pee is shrinking. Maybe we could try again in the summer?

Really? Just since I posted this, I saw Mikey Madison getting shot into a lit stove and catching on fire.

It's not gay if the balls don't touch. So they tell me.
They also are probably wearing socks.

hmm, that's unfortunate, have you considered putting clothes on? I hear that helps.

I actually have no idea what it was in originally - it was just a clip shown in the intro to Saturday Night Live.

Oh, it was slapstick. So, would you call Charles Chaplin senselessly violent?
