Nick Fury 'Junk Peek' Gag: The summary omits a specific visual gag during the auomitted-action

#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Regarding the film Captain Marvel (2019), what was the film rated (e.g. R, PG, G), and what elements of the film contributed to that rating?

#M ANNOTATED LLM RESPONSE

The film Captain Marvel (2019) was rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association (MPA). According to the official classification, the rating was assigned due to "sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and brief suggestive language."

Specific elements that contributed to this rating include:

1. Sci-Fi Violence and Action

The film features frequent combat sequences typical of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but several specific details pushed it into the PG-13 category:

Alien Biology: While the film avoids realistic red blood for the most part, it features blue and purple alien blood. There is a scene involving a Skrull autopsy; while not excessively graphic, it shows internal alien anatomy (entrails).
Intense Combat: The movie includes hand-to-hand combat, photon blasts, and large-scale space battles. Specific moments of "peril" include a character being held in a gravity-defying interrogation machine and a high-speed car chase ending in a crash.
Creature Violence: The character Goose (an alien Flerken resembling a cat) is involved in several action scenes, most notably scratching a character’s eye, which results in a lasting injury.
Thematic Violence: The plot touches on heavy themes such as genocide and the displacement of refugees (the Skrulls), which adds a level of mature intensity to the conflict.

2. Language

The film contains "brief suggestive language" and mild profanity, which is common for PG-13 action movies. Specific instances reported by parent guides and reviewers include:

Profanity: There are approximately 14-15 instances of mild to moderate profanity, including words such as "sht," "shthole," "hell," "damn," "ass," and "bastard."
Playful Innuendo: The film uses the phrase "mother flerken" as a comedic nod to a more severe expletive often associated with actor Samuel L. Jackson.
Suggestive Comments: There are brief instances of "suggestive language," such as a scene where a male pilot makes a dismissive, gender-based remark to Carol Danvers, though the film contains no sexual content or "bedroom scenes."

3. Frightening/Intense Sequences

Shapeshifting: The Skrulls’ ability to transform into other people (including an elderly woman on a train) creates moments of suspense and mild horror, particularly when their true forms are partially revealed during a transformation.
Flashbacks: Brief, chaotic flashbacks of Carol’s past—including a traumatic plane crash and experimental testing—contribute to a sense of psychological intensity.
