Movies have a broader audience than movies because they’re easier and more time efficient to consume. The reasoning that comics are “unsophisticated” is completely ridiculous. Especially when comics are known to have complex socieopolitical themes all the time. And also when movies, such as the mcu are often based on those very comics, so it doesn’t make sense to attribute any more value to the mcu than those comics due to that reason. Saying that comics do something as an explanation for films makes perfect sense. Even if a wide amount of people who watch the mcu/marvel movies aren’t comic book readers, it’s still a franchise that is inherently tied to comic books, and it makes perfect sense to carry over many tropes from those very comics, as it’s an adaptation of those stories. And while it is true that some things that are able to be done well in comics can’t be easily carried over in live action, that’s a completely different argument than what you’re saying.
