Talking Points:

Sexual Content: Mild

• We see Hulk’s bare butt.
• There are a few suggestive jokes about masturbation and orgies.

Violent/Disturbing Content: Excessive

• Hela, The Goddess of Death can be very scary.  She slashes soldiers with a huge blade, uses magical knives, and impales them.
• There are some gory and graphic moments, and a lot of characters die.
• There are battles with explosions, though shown as comic book violence.

Crude or Profane Language: Moderate

• We hear “sh-t, “d–n,” “a–,” “h-ll,” and “son of a b–ch.”

Drug and Alcohol Content: Moderate

• A character drinks heavily throughout the film. In one scene we see her drunk.
