When should something no longer be considered a spoiler? In general use your best judgement. If want something more specific,

For films, wait until it's been released to streaming for at least a few weeks.
For TV shows, consider the whole season as a spoiler until the last episode of the season has aired, then wait a few weeks.

I think treating superhero films as for simple minded people or for children would definitely explain everything wrong with the industry.

Hey I didn't say that. The two Black Panther movies deal with some pretty heavy socio-political themes,

Black Panther - Wakanda is a hidden, restricted ethnostate that comes under a coup by a racial supremacist with fascist imperialst ambitions (i.e. parallels to Israel, and the United States.) T'Challa decides to open the country up to the greater world instead of keeping the status quo (allowing immigration is the way to go as opposed to our current far right fascist immigration crackdown.)
Wakanda forever - Wakanda's technological hegemony is challenged by another nation that has equal access to said technology, the parallel between the USA/USSR and Atomic weapons for Vibrainium is obvious. Ultimately Shuri decides to make peace instead of continue the cold war.

So the films aren't without any intelletcual merit. They just dress these themes with a lot of explosions and asskicking.
