Marvel invented the idea of superheroes dealing with dark stuff, while DC was the light hearted kid-friendly one in the comics. Kind of ironic how stuff is being different in the movies, eh? ;)

But back to my point, I see what you mean about the Netflix shows, they are certainly not in your face funny. But, that's still a lot of movie characters who won't get the chance to explore their darker stories, like Iron Man and Spider-Man, who have plenty to choose from. I don't know where people are getting this idea Funny = Kids and serious = adults, it has nothing to do with age. It's just about what fits the character better, kids watch stuff that isn't full of humor and weak storylines, the movies will likely remain the same rating regardless.
