So if anything I would say that Marvel is making movies for adults that kids can enjoy too. So while it’s not meant specifically for kids it is meant for kids to watch as well because I can tell you that my daughter loves Captain America even though she’s three and doesn’t really understand what’s going on.

It's 'family entertainment' which typically means something that caters heavily to the attention spans of younger teenagers while peppering the script with things adults will appreciate. e: and that's not a slur, it's incredibly hard to pull off. Toy Story is a great film that anyone can enjoy.

If you break "person of color" down into separate ethnicities, then the average viewer is white.

The MCU is aimed at families (including children) so it makes sense that Disney would take a formulaic approach to be inoffensive. I mean, look at Watchmen, The Boys, Deadpool, and Invincible. No one sane is saying those are aimed at kids.

Everyone posted:There was a lot of chemistry between Bucky and Sam. It just wasn't sexual chemistry. Even if you wanted to view these two characters as gay (or, in Bucky's case, bi, given that he went on a date with the waitress girl and was flirting with Sam's sister, who seemed more than a little receptive), they aren't gay for each other. I didn't say sexual chemistry, I said chemistry. These two did not feel like friends in any way to me

Walker is clearly in a committed monogamous sexual relationship with Battlestar to the point he has an ongoing relationship with his family, but Bucky and Sam are gay for each other because they sit close to each other at therapy once?

in addition to thanos getting straight up decapitated, allegedly one of the early endgame scripts featured thanos entering the fray by throwing down the head of captain america they cut it because it was too dour, not because the rating would have stopped them

Bucky was angry at Sam for rejecting the Shield and letting a doofus like Walker get it. Sam was pissed at Bucky for trying to guilt him about rejecting the Captain America mantle. It's only in episodes five and six, when they resolve that conflict, that they start becoming actual friends.

Marvel movies are a very bright and colorful kind of action adventure film but John Wick and Fast & the Furious are huge franchises as well (that I think area also pretty much totally devoid of sex these days?) The one that pisses me off are when people try to say that the MCU is the “mythology of the modern world” because seriously that would completely suck, because there are like, no lessons to be learned from these films at all. They are entertaining but they are completely mindless. That’s why I like the shows better than the movies.

The only love in the Fast and Furious movies is the love between man and machine taking life a quarter mile at a time. Fast and the Furious had a major subplot about a girlfriend and a baby in the first few movies, but Dom's girlfriend is basically just "female coworker" and they essentially never even mention he has a kid anymore.

Dom dated that cop lady affiliated with Hobbs(who's name I forget Elaine?) in between 5 and 6 and then when he found out Letty was alive he went to go find her and eventually left the Cop Lady when he and Letty reconnected. He didn't find out Cop lady had gotten preggo(she never told him) and had his kid until 8 where they were used as a plot device.
