Is THIS For Kids?Do Your Kids Need a Shield from Captain America?Is THIS For Kids? (ITFK?) PodcastEpisode 78 Part 1 | Do Your Kids Need a Shield from Captain America?This episode gets a little feisty! Comic books were originally made for kids, with complex storylines and ongoing conflicts. Now, Marvel seems to be restricted by most parents because of the language factor. Should parents avoid Captain America for their kids, or are they doing a disservice by limiting kids from content that challenges their capacity for complexity in favor of more "child like" content?

Cartoons or anime is not a fair indicator of whether or not something is made for children. Maybe it used to be in 1970, but not now.
