I'd disagree we're moving away from it.

Consider, for instance, the Deadpool series. They're overtly advertising Deadpool three as more violent and R rated than the previous two.

Endgame had one of the big Marvel heroes straight execute someone in cold blood. Yeah, he deserved it, but still.

DC is going for, uh, Suicide Squad 2. Not sure that's a good decision, but I'm pretty sure that's gonna be less that perfect virtue on the part of all those shown.

Heck, Kickass vs Hitgirl has been announced, and I thought that franchise was dead in a frenzy of insane violence.

Last but not least, we have The Boys out there pushin' pretty much every limit known to superheros.
