#55: Guardians of the Galaxy: Language Limits

The Guardians of the Galaxy movies manage to straddle that line where one minute, they are making you laugh hysterically, and the next, you’re bawling your eyes out. One of the saddest elements of the show is that Peter Quill was ripped from his family and everything he knew as a grieving 8-year-old and never quite recovered from that loss. 

But here’s one aspect of that storyline that I never thought of before: maybe that explains why the language stays PG-13. Now, of course, the real reason is that Marvel had decided they wanted to keep it a PG-13 movie. But it’s fun to imagine in-universe reasons for it.
