I remember watching the first Thor movie and thinking that they went out of their way to explain that "No no no, Thor isn't a god, he's an advanced alien from another planet, vikings just thought he was a god." I thought "Okay, they don't want to offend religious people, I get that."

Then the MCU at large quintupled down on "Magic isn't a thing, its all science!" I found it a little insulting really. I think that Movie goers are smart enough to understand that you can have magic and science in a fictional universe at the same time.
