The journal Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology has published an investigation stating that the Preschool children do not fully understand the values they fight for , but they do memorize and assume violent acts.This effect of superhero movies on children is related to the complexity of the concepts being handled.

The stories of these films are intended for a wider audience , so the plot line must also be attractive to teenagers and adults, so kindergarteners do not fully understand the argument, but they do understand aggressive behaviors .Therefore, it is usual for them to repeat the latter, while the values of superheroes remain more confusing.
