    The Marvel stuff is usually sexless because the target audience is kids. Even Endgame and infinity war were only a PG-13. It’s a bit crazy that adults latch on so tightly to this kind of stuff. Same with Disney adults. I’m not saying that it’s “more adult” to watch movies with sex in them or anything, I’m just saying that it’s a weird phenomenon.

      Everyone I see going to Marvel stuff and talking about Marvel stuff on youtube and whatnot are all millenials and elderly millenials and some Gen X guys from Star Wars fanbases

      Like, sure my 6 year old nephew loves Spiderman and spiderman TV cartoons but that’s not what we’re talking about when we talk about sexless Marvel slop. We’re talking about the films that wiped out all other types of films, not harmless children cartoons

        Well yeah that’s Marvel brain for you. I do not understand it at all. The last one I watched was Age of Ultron and it made me want to never watch a superhero movie again.

          I’ve been a hater since Dark Knight, I fucking hated that movie and don’t get why anyone liked it. That was the best one too, it only got worse after that. Hilariously the only one I think is tolerable is Joker which isn’t even a capeshit movie at all and has 0 powers.

            Dark Knight actually had a competent lead director and actor in Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale respectively. So that helped save it from the structure of superhero movies for some. I didn’t have any strong feelings about it when I first saw it. The joker is tolerable because it feels like a story about actual people and is not bound to the structure of superhero movies.

      because the target audience is kids.

      eh all-ages family media and “for kids” are different. marvel wants that 8-80 money not the lesser g-rated childrens cartoon money.
