Looks like an AAC muzzle device, though.[/QUOTE]
Well they're also using a Thompson with a Remington 870 + SPAS 12 foregrip attached to it :v:
Obviously those are just stand ins for futuristic attachments.

Disney also own Punisher and the Netflix series is some of the most brutal shit you'll see on TV. Disney isn't this company who kidify(?) everything they have.

I think Disney's issue is less with "kidifying" and more with homogenization. If Disney did an Alien movie it'd probably be tonally identical to Aliens, since that's the most popular one in the franchise. Say what you will about Prometheus/Covenant but I thought Fassbender's David was more interesting than any character in Alien/Aliens, and I respect that they essentially structured Covenant around David.
District 9 was only as good as it was because it tapped on a previously-unexplored political and moral message and had a slick sci-fi wrapper over it. When it deviated from the gritty, realistic sociopolitical aspects and became an action movie in the later half it fell apart. I feel like Blomkamp just can't get that snap back.

This. Years back (and likely still today), if it wasn't considered "kid friendly" they'd just publish it under Touchstone.

The thing with Neil is, Elysium was weak because of its bad plot (not to mention weird moments like "Ahv ohlways wonted a wahff!"), and Chappie had the potential to be something awesome, even with the over-the-top action sequence near the end, but he made an awful choice including Die Antewrp as main characters, and another awful decision in not exploring what it means to be "alive", but I suppose if they did that it literally [I]would[/I] be "Short Circuit: Dystopian Edition".
I think the action movie near the end of D9 was a decent escalation of conflict, though a bit over-the-top and seemingly un-necessary when there was already a conflict with the main character and what he was slowly becoming.
