Zak Katz Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'm 24 and I had a tough time with that. I almost broke out my phone to tell my mom that I love her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesRogers Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Just curious how did you (or anyone really) explain any of the other dramatic death filled moments of the marvel movies to their kids? Uncle Ben, peters parents, jean grey, old man yashida, bucky (from TFA), Loki, frigga, stane, vanko, killian, gwen, ... Death and loss is a part of life and a part of the marvel universe. How could you possibly get around that? I have a 4 year old and he's seen most of the marvel movies and he understands that for the most part that the heroes fight in spite of the pain and possible or realized loss of loved ones. Not trying to challenge or be a 'troll' I'm just curious how others might handle this. Edited September 2, 2014 by JamesRogers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 It's a delicate topic, similar to "The Talk" I believe it depends on their maturity, each child is different and only you the parent know when they're ready. If you tell them and they are not ready then they'll be confused and ask questions, but you won't ruin their lives or anything, they'll just be more informed. I was not sheltered at all though, so maybe we won't all see eye to eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 My kids cried, which made me feel good. Now I know they're not psychopaths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bilbofett Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I personally don't think movies or music influence kids that way. That's a whole other can of worms. The movie is fine for young teens and up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElGallo21 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I personally don't think movies or music influence kids that way. That's a whole other can of worms. The movie is fine for young teens and up. I agree. In my experience, children can watch or listen to anything and still have normal lives. It all boils down to how their parents choose to raise them.

karamazov80 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Well I don't know if it's a question of whether or not they will have normal lives, so much as whether or not it might expose them to ideas and experiences before they should be, developmentally, that could create trauma, or contribute to the premature demise of innocence and naivete on some level. I personally watched parts of Terminator (eye surgery), Robocop (ED-209 shooting), and Monty Python's Meaning of Life (several scenes) as a kid who really was too young to be seeing them. And they did have a strong, negative effect on me. I don't blame my own set of abnormalities on those experiences, though they may played some role. To take some extreme examples, I think most of us would agree that a 5 year old shouldn't be watching Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer or pornography.
