Dumbed down to superhero-movie plateau, PG rating for families, publishing in the PRC. Money.

  Where did you get that idea? The proportion of films rated R and also PG-13 has been steady over the past 15 years. The proportion of films rated PG has increased, but at the expense of G. https://m.the-numbers.com/market/mpaa-ratings https://m.the-numbers.com/market/mpaa-ratings

    Those ratings are weird - but the Chinese basically hacking the US cultural export thing is a big influence. Many movies have subtle elements that are present for the purposes of sucking up to the PRC.

      That’s definitely true - and many of the elements are not even subtle at all. But I don’t think that explains the sex scenes, as those could be easily cut for Chinese releases.
