Spawn

Back in 1997, Spawn was adapted for the big screen, just like Ghost Rider.  And just like the aforementioned movie, it was also rated PG-13 (even if the DVDs had an R-rated version, as well). And we cannot get our head around this: a fighter from hell dumbed down for more tickets to be sold.

But there is hope – much more than with Ghost Rider, since Spawn was published by Image Comics. We say that because the character doesn’t need to be introduced or used in a larger shared universe. So he can go all-out in his own franchise, without any problems.

And Spawn will, most likely, be rebooted sometime very soon. Todd McFarlane (the character’s creator) recently said that he has finished another script for a Spawn movie and that he hopes it will be a Hard-R. As it should be, we say.

Of course, it all depends on the project (with his script) being given the green light. Otherwise, all is for naught.

So bring Spawn back! And this time, do it properly!
