I don’t get super-hero movies in general. Seems very childish to me. Doesn’t matter what color they are. Whether it be Batman, Spider Man or whatever else, I’m thinking target audience of 7-12 year old boys.

Ten years ago, I would have agreed with you; but, movies have gotten so strange and unwatchable that I find the MCU to be, at least, entertaining.

Avengers Civil War, actually had an interesting premise, which I think would be welcomed at FR. That being the question of who should hold power. Iron Man went with a "governmental agency"; but, Captain America went with the Avengers keeping power in their own hands. At the end, Cap was right, and Tony Stark was amazingly wrong. It was a Conservative/Libertarian message, set in a comic book world. I just don't see these interesting types of subjects approached in entertainment media anymore. You are only allowed one POV, and that is the leftist one.

Anyway, I am a 63 yo woman, and I have to admit that I watch these comic book super-hero movies. I think it may have a lot more to do with the dearth of any other entertaining movies, than with the super-hero part of it. I find the language and violence and over the top sex scenes to be a bit too much anymore. Perhaps I'm just getting old.
