I think Marvel has answered the "dark side" debate with the Netflix shows. The suicide of John Healy was the most graphic example I can think of to show that Marvel has the capacity but chooses not to use it. The "light" movie is the trademark. Let DC do "dark and Moody"; if Marvel did, it would be compared to the "Dark Knight Trilogy" or "Man of Steel". By staying light, they have the children as patrons and are trying to get the next generation, so Phase Four can work in the future...
