After 15 years and a vast archive of movies and shows, there are plenty of things that should never be said to an MCU fan. It's no secret that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the more impressive undertakings in the world of filmmaking with its interconnected narrative spanning over 40 projects since 2008. While it's not without its criticisms and shortcomings, there are some easy ways to annoy an MCU fan by bringing up some of the oldest arguments, questions, and negative opinions.
Having concluded the Infinity Saga in 2019, the MCU is currently in the middle of its Multiverse Saga which will culminate with two new Avengers films in 2026 and 2027 (Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars). In that time, there are a series of common complaints and criticisms that will likely get a Marvel fan to grit their teeth and roll their eyes.

The meta-ness and small amount of immersion-ruining are all part of the overall MCU's charm. Likewise, the cameos are now sorely missed by many, as the late Stan Lee's final cameo occurs during the events of Avengers: Endgame.
9 Comic Book Movies Are For Kids While it's somewhat died down over time, there's been a predominant perception in the mainstream that comic book movies are just for younger demographics. While that's certainly true for some movies, many are absolutely not appropriate for children catering instead to older audiences. Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool franchise is a prime example as well as Marvel's Defenders shows which originally aired on Netflix. Comic book universes such as the MCU as well as Warner Bros.' DC Universe have quite an archive of characters, some of which are only meant for more mature eyes.
