I have his twin.
He is the one who just watched Deadpool. It's his favorite movie. He is old enough now that I just say "Not ok for daycare or school." and he stops instantly and is able to not talk about it. It was a tough couple of years between 3-5 where it was near constant redirection.
Some of it comes down to maturity, but ALL of it is inappropriate at this age.
My 11 1/2 yo and I are playing through Fallout 4 together now. It's rated M for mature. There is no sex in it, but there is shooting and violence. We were able to 'turn down' the gore settings, so it's quite minimal for a role playing shooter game. I would NEVER let my 8yo even see it, even if he was 11. 8yo is very sensitive. 11 1/2 yo is very mature and not sensitive at all. He enjoys scary movies. Hocus Pocus scared the 8yo.
My 17yo watches american horror story, walking dead, and plays left for dead (zombie video game) quite a bit. NEVER in front of any of her younger siblings though.
