Everything thing the prequels got wrong or simply didn't have time to expand on, The Clone Wars did great with. I love the series as it makes the prequels better due to all of the character development.
@nite_nite: No, they are words used to try and sound mature but in reality come off as childish and juvenile. You could take out every curse word in any Marvel movie and replace them with regular words and the scene would be just as good or funny. Writers put them there to either try and sound mature or push a movie into a PG-13 rating, when the movie would be just as fine without them.
The only real negative for MCU movies that I have has been the language. It was tolerable up until Ant-Man which had more cursing than most Marvel movies, and Civil War dropped some heavy words that to me were too much for movies that family's want to take their kids too.
Spider-Man saying the S-Word to me stuck out the most as he could literally have said anything else, but instead they had Spidey, their youngest and probably most popular hero outside of the movies, cursing for no real good reason. It just came off as tacky and forced in my opinion.
It betrays everything that makes Captain America who he is, it's simply for shock-value and getting some plublicity, and the idea is just plain stupid.. So yeah, as a long-time Cap fan, I have reasons to be angry about it and are justified in those reasons.
Also, I lost faith in Marvel's comics a long time ago after getting sick of the underwhelming storylines and stupid gimmicks for some short-term publicity. The only thing Marvel seems able to do right is their movies, and that's only because they literally have millions of dollars on the line of those don't do well, unlike the comics which cost $2.99-$3.99 and aren't as huge of a lost if they tank.
Yup, this is just another reason why I gave up on reading comics and stick solely to the movies now... Too much of this gimmicky shock-value crap that ruins great characters.
