Disney+ is no longer “safe for kids,” as many parents put it, blocking their children from joining the streaming service until they’re at least 18 over sex scenes and intense violence in new Marvel shows.
Hit Marvel streaming series Daredevil, The Punisher, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, The Defenders, and Jessica Jones joined Disney+ on March 16, marking a new time for the Marvel Collection with Hell’s Kitchen’s finest finally being a part of the larger MCU.
Nonetheless, some viewers are not enjoying the PG-13 and content featured on these series, most notable The Punisher and Jessica Jones, claiming that Disney+ is no longer “safe for kids” and more:
so @disneyplus is no more safe for kids? i am gonna tell my children’s to unsubscribe @DisneyPlusHS as it’s no more for children under 18.

Another fan shared their concerns for Marvel adding sex scenes to Disney+:
I mean I honestly agree. I have most streaming services but it was nice having Disney+ as a family friendly one. It’s super weird adding these super graphics violent and sexual shows out of nowhere just because they’re marvel.

It’s pretty hilarious when parents are mad about R rated and Mature content coming to Disney +. When Marvel is starting to introduce sex scenes into their movies. Yet parents weren’t outraged at Eternals? Lol

Every Marvel fan loves having more content on Disney+, especially with the hit series Daredevil tying them over until Moon Knight hits Disney+ on March 30.
However, viewers can adjust parental controls on Disney+ with new settings following the launch of The Punisher and more on the streaming platform.
Nonetheless, many parents and fans express their concerns for adult content on the family streaming service, particularly the mature sex scene between Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) and Danny Rand (Finn Jones) on Jessica Jones.
With darker, more adult-centered content coming to Disney+ with The Defenders franchise and Moon Knight, many speculate that the Marvel Universe and more are prepping for more mature content that might not be suitable for younger viewers.
