I gotta disagree, Iron Man 1 didn't feel like a children's movie, either did The Incredible Hulk, Thor and even TFA at times. The Avengers on the other hand felt like it was aimed at children, the other films are a bit more balanced in drama and humor while The Avengers was 2 hours of straight "fun".
I respect Snyder and WB for trying to make more than just an entertaining movie, that's how you end up with The Dark Knights, Spiderman 2's and X2's of the genre but playing it safe and just making something "fun" almost feels like a waste of time now. It's a cheap way to make a quick buck, every superhero movie adopting that tone is really going to speed up superhero fatigue.
Let DC be serious and let Marvel be fun, I prefer that than having everything feel like it's part of the MCU.
