To think that ASDA shouldn't be selling Guardians of the Galaxy clothes for 2-3 year olds?

[amelie27]

I went to ASDA at the weekend and was quite taken aback to see that they are selling Guardians of the Galaxy t-shirts for two year olds. I also saw pyjamas in age 4-5. The film is rated a 12 certificate so why on earth are ASDA promoting the film to young children?

[atticusclaw]

I would never let my DSs (7 and 9) watch the film at this age but there is a cartoon too and they will watch that (when they discover it on the sky planner).

[AdamLambsbreath]

Ah, OK angel. It was because you put it right before YABU that I thought it was your reason for saying YABU.

[Angelto5]

My mistake also Adam-I haven't seen it yet but ds(16) has.

Before the film came out I'd never heard of it!

Get ready for next year-Star Wars 7,Jurassic world etc.....

It's all about making money & you can't just pin it on one film-it happens with loads of other films/franchises.

At Halloween many kids dress up as freddy/Jason/scream & I'm sure they're 15/18 certificates!

[AdamLambsbreath]

I saw it, really enjoyed it (though didn't take a child unless you count the one inside me, and I'm pretty sure it slept through the lot . . .)

For anyone who wants to know why it's a 12A, the BBFC info is here (under the section marked 'Insight').

The language is pretty ripe!

[Angelto5]

I did want to see it when I found out vin diesel was in it-then ds informed me he's a tree

[Smoorikins]

Yes, he is a tree, and he is FABULOUS.

[AdamLambsbreath]

The tree was our favourite character

Though not much use if you were hoping for Vin Diesel eye candy.

[NoLongerJustAShopGirl]

The film was fab, we all watched it together again night before last -there was bad language - but it was usually when the surrounding noise was loud - so not particularly noticeable. In places we were laughing so much we were crying. It really is a great film.

what colour will Zoe Saldana play next... blue, green..... any purple aliens coming up...

And Vin is at his sexiest... as Groooooot so funny...

[MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig]

I took my five and seven year olds to see it. The five year old wasn't bothered but the seven year old loved it.

[Pipbin]

I'm more worried about the Halo MegaBlocks TBH.

As others have said, no one looks twice at children dressing up as Spiderman or Batman.

[atticusclaw]

Oops sorry its Marvel Avengers and its on DisneyXD

[iklboo]

It made me have unwholesome thoughts about a raccoon (but he IS voiced by Bradley Cooper). It was a 12A at the cinema & DS(9) loved it, but they do tone it down loads for the cartoon.

[economistextra]

Yanbu. Says a lot about Asda and it's un discerning customers

[Smoorikins]

Oh, please do tell, what does it say about Asda and its customers?

[AdamLambsbreath]

uh-oh

[TondelayoSchwarzkopf]

DS1 had an ACDC t-shirt at 6m

[ZanyMobster]

My boys age 6 & 8 loved it. They watch lots of 12A films, even some 15s such as Gremlins, would you not buy spiderman or star wars stuff either? They have loved those films/characters since they were 2 or 3 YO so we bought clothes with that stuff on.

If you don't like it don't let your DCs watch it, I really can't see the issue, each to their own. This is not really an AIBU as you think you are not so you are not actually asking for opinions.

[duplodon]

My kids love superheroes but won't see film versions until they are much, much older. My 2 year old has been putting Green Goblin to sleep with a kiss and Spider-Man asks him to come and play on Peppa Pig's swings. They all have jolly old picnics and Iron Man is their dad!

[ZanyMobster]

That is really funny duplo

[AnotherGirlsParadise]

My 3yo DS loves it - he's obsessed with Rocket and Groot, because he's 3 and he sees a talking raccoon and a talking tree and he thinks it's the best thing ever. No harm in that at all. I'll be trundling off to Asda first thing!

[evmil]

My 4yo has seen it and loves it. The language was a bit off but the rest is fine imo. Am going to go to asda tomorrow to pick some new clothes up for him

[AnotherGirlsParadise]

Mind you, looking at the Asda T shirt, I'm annoyed that yet again Gamora has been omitted. She's just as badass as the other characters, yet they seem to think she doesn't belong on 'boys' clothing.

[addictedtobass]

YABU. "I am Groot" Love it.
