MCU: 10 Netflix Mistakes The Disney Plus TV Shows MUST Avoid

10. Making The Content Excessively Gritty

It may seem unlikely that anything with the Disney tag will be as blood-spattered as Netflix's content. But still, there's 'gritty' in a broader sense. Netflix just happened to be guilty of it on the gory side of things. We all know Frank Castle is a brutal SOB, but having him repeatedly knife somebody in the neck when a good honest thump to the head would suffice made him seem kind of silly. And that's before we get to the old 'grenade-shoved-in-a-severed-head' trick...

The point is that characters need to operate in a sensible context, even if their characteristics are intense. Even without the graphic excesses, Disney could be equally as guilty of over-emphasising the dark traits of post-war Bucky Barnes and the orphan plight of Scarlet Witch, by pulling out some horrific and unimaginative nuance that is meant to shock, but will instead hint at weakness on the writers' part.

Imaginative storytelling should solve this, no problem. But with an increasingly diligent audience at the forefront, this is an exercise that can't be ignored even once.
