In the US, most Marvel and (modern) Star Wars films are rated PG-13, but it’s widely acceptable for kids under 13 to watch. You’d be hard-pressed to find a normal American who’d take issue with their 8-year-old watching Star Wars films, and I think a majority of American parents would feel the same about many Marvel movies.

My question is, how do Europeans feel about that? I know your ratings systems tend to be more restrictive at the 12/13 mark. (Kids under that age usually need parental accompaniment in Europe, while that isn’t required in the US.) Thus, I’m curious to see if there are cultural differences on the matter.
