So it's ok to kill humans in a historical western setting with shot guns from a tower in a fort? ;)
Have you ever actually struck a human character with a projectile from Fort Wilderness and watched them fall? I didn't think so. :D Seriously, You're comparing Ft. Wilderness to an M-rated videogame in which players take the role of criminals and bash women's skulls open with bats, murder cops, shoot (or stab, if they prefer) bystanders and just about anybody else in sight, etc. etc. etc. It's not the same ballpark at all.

Play killing is play killing. It doesn't matter if it is done in a video game or imaginary at a theme park.

I've taken many virtual lives.. which is why I've started to play the Emergency Series. I only hope it gives me some consolation in the eyes of the virtual gods 😢

EDIT: Why do I feel like i'm pushing the limits as to what I can, and can't, post on this beautiful website? :hilarious:

Worth noting that many, if not all of these films had multiple theatrical runs and much longer initial theatrical runs.

I'm actually surprised Dark Knight didn't make this list

Dude. No. I SOOOO disagree. Seriously, if you think there's no difference between 1) a child climbing into an old west fort, aiming a non-functioning rifle at no one and pretending to be protecting the fort for ten seconds... and 2) A kid spending hours upon hours pretending to be a drug dealer running around a realistically rendered modern city beating up prostitutes and shooting civilians and cops, all in an attempt to increase his score and produce the most offensive, violent Youtube content he can to share with his friends and the whole dang world... If you SERIOUSLY think there's no difference, I really don't have anything more to say here.

I don’t know what Walt Disney would think of any of the popular video games released in the present.

I do think he would handle the modern video game industry a lot better than the WDC (but that’s not saying much).

I like playing Sea of Thieves because it rips off one liners from the pirates ride/movies

Titanic is still the last time a movie made progressively more than previous weekends I believe. Hollywood wouldn't know what do if a film had staying power like that. They always drop off after the first weekend and the home video release is set.
