The movies are too light

I guess you’ve heard this one numerous times until now – the MCU is for the children. But is it really so? Sure, the movies are PG-13, just like most of the superhero movies out there. And, for some time now, it is always mentioned during the action that there were minimum casualties (now, this is a reason to complain).

But the movies are in no way light and they juggle with some pretty excellent ideas, ideas that are actually current. The Winter Soldier wasn’t a superhero movie as much as it was a political thriller. Iron Man 3 dealt with PTSD. Civil War dealt with loss and revenge. Ant-Man was about the father-daughter relationship.

So the ideas the movies present are in no way light. What are people complaining about? I have no idea.

And, of course, I should also mention that this issue became even more obvious for some when the DCEU kicked off. It must be the palette of colors then…
