The most recent Marvel movie is also one of the most kid-friendly, although maybe not for the reasons that parents might expect. While it actually is less-inclined towards violence than other movies (in fact, the usage of violence is one of the central themes of the movie), it does feature rather mature themes and historical references, not least among them a look at the impact of the slave trade and the oppression of black people around the world. What makes that into a great movie for kids is the fact that you can use the movie to start conversations about identity, ancestry, misogyny, and isolationism with your children. Finally, as the first mostly-black superhero movie in the Marvel canon, Black Panther will show children of all races a diverse new viewpoint not present elsewhere in the MCU. Not only will they likely enjoy the on-screen action, but, more than any movie on this list, they could also leave the theater with a handful of new lessons learned. ADVERTISEMENT
7. Iron Man
The one that started it all. 2008 was a simpler time for Marvel, when every movie didn’t need to tie into 10 other installments. Despite starting with a war-related explosion and capture, Iron Man is actually on the lighter side of the spectrum; perhaps because it’s the only Marvel movie where Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark is still lovable, but even the most violent scenes are worked through his charisma to feel more action-oriented than gory.
