In the last month, I decided to see ThunderBlets *,, the latest installment in the most amazing universe universe (MCU). I went to the theater without my 11-year-old, not sure if it was or not this movie was worse than a twelve-reader decided to Eschew the usual good evil narrative structured in the typical film superhero and accepts a oneaking Outlook.

While parents should always think of their own family values and to allow their child for more mature media themes because we want all the sunshines and rain with our children.
