    Interesting take. I’d guess it’s pure commercialism. Deadpool went in knowing it was going to be R-rated, and they broke out the strap on. Most of the movies the article mentions are going for PG-13 so they can sell more toys. That’s my take.

      PG13 movies from the 80-90 had sensuality too. They were not so sterile.

      Anyway, best example of this phenomenon that I can think of is Casino Royale vs No Time To Die. There’s chemistry and sexual tension between Bond and Vesper since the moment they meet.

      Fast forward 15 years and in NTTD Daniel Craig and Lea Seydoux have nothing at all. Even though they supposedly have a past and apparently a daughter too. The relationship feels, for the lack of better word, clinical. Like just another checkbox to be ticked.

        Thinking about it, you’re correct. The last movie I can think of with real heat is ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’ and that’s from early 2000s.
