Every Marvel movie I have ever seen has been fine for MY 5 and 8 year olds. I cant speak for everyone. They dont get scared at villains.
We have also watched some Star Wars stuff
I will not show either of them Lord of the Rings yet. I do think they would get freaked out by certain things
So every kid and every parent is different. I have a buddy who will not show his 5 year old any Star Wars movies because his wife is concerned about violence. I feel bad for that kid
My 5 year old gets freaked out scared about the cat statues that come to life in Treasure Buddies (a movie about the 5 descendents of Air Bud, they're super cute yellow lab puppies that make silly quips as they quest for treasure through a foreign land filled will heavy handed stereotypes [like the evil camel auctioneer][i'm not kidding, that's the plot]). She couldn't sleep for nights.
Every kid is different is true. I tend to think they can see some more mature stuff, but they haven't. I really want to test the waters with ET and Goonies, but my wife keeps saying they're not old enough. She may be right.
I just want this My Little Pony phase to end.
ETA: Guardians would have them up nights for a week straight. Avengers? They'd have worse nightmares than Stark did in Ironman 3. I think they're still a few years out from that.
