I guess I must be the only one that doesn't care to see real world situations in my superhero comics. Too ol school I guess.

If you didn't see it or didn't know when you saw it, that's on you. But it was there. Go back and reread some of those classics stories with a more critical eye sometime, I think you'll find a lot of things were hiding in those 70's and 80's books that went over your head as a kid.

As for the 60's, sex wasn't really there, no, but comics in that time were still heavily scrutinized like they were in the 50's. But the real world comes in a lot, and was a part of super hero books since the beginning in 30's and 40's when heroes like Superman, Batman, and Captain America were fighting against Nazis and the Japanese instead of costumed villains like today.

They are somewhat, but it has a lot to do with summer movies bringing in less than just super hero flicks. Actually what I think they're learning is the market is changing a little bit and that spacing out these movies will work out a lot better, since a movie like Thor Ragnarok can come out in November and completely clean house at the box office since it was the only huge block buster out at the moment. It's already brought in a huge opening weekend, and I suspect Justice League is going to come along and bring in a ton of money it's first weekend, too. And of course Star Wars is going to own December outright.

It's too late for mutants, if they were in the MCU it would have logically come up by now. Not saying they couldn't make it work, but I think it would take Thanos destroying the universe and someone else rebuilding it with the Infinity Gauntlet but making a few changes.

The F4, though, easily could be a Captain Marvel situation where they've been doing their own thing either away from SHIELD and the Avengers or sometime before. I'd be perfectly happy if the team had semi-retired, and Reed and Sue have been raising the kids along with teaching the Future Foundation or something off to the side all of this time. Only issue would be explaining why Doctor Doom didn't show up earlier to try and take the Infinity Stones and the Gauntlet for himself during this next Avengers movie.
