I'm absolutely fine with people hating or disliking MARVEL movies at this point. They are cookie cutter movies and I can't defend that.
HOWEVER for him to use "these are just made to sell toys to children! Why are people being stabbed with spears with no bursts of blood!" type reasons as criticisms is just fucking dumb. These are PG rated movies to appeal to everyone not just adults. They're designed so anyone can go into one of them and have a fun enough time to deem the movie was worth watching. They aren't trying to make abstract masterpieces. Its been almost, what, 20-25 MCU movies released thus far and that's still a thing people are pointing out as if they expect something different?
I don't know. I enjoyed the movie. I'm fine if you didn't. But don't try to use dumb as fuck logic and insanely obnoxious counter-points to nitpick the movie. If you're going to bring negatives up about the movie then point out how half the movie is about retrieving Klaue and then sidelining him with a "death". Or about how little of Killmonger & his dad are shown to promote that bond and his revenge are actually worth seeking out.
These movies are also not rated PG, but PG-13. That means it's not meant for kids, but teenagers and up.
If this movie were explicitly a children's movie, and people were talking about it as such, he wouldn't complain about lack of blood. But because this is being heralded as this "important" "masterpiece" for adults, he's right to complain.
I still have no idea to this day how Hannibal got a tv 14 rating. It really should've been TV MA. It's arguably one of the most violent tv shows I've ever seen. Like Game of Thromes level. It's filled with gore in each episode
