I'm fine. A bit rude to ask that it implies as if something is wrong with me.

If it's trivially disproveable then just trivially write out the proof. No need to comment on the fact.

>Well, yes, but childish isn’t a synonym for poor quality.

At a pedantic level yes they aren't synonyms. But any reasonable person knows writing is dumbed down and made worse in order for children to understand and follow. It's not just the writing, but the plot line and everything else is made worse and simplistic.

This is your thing. You equate simplistic to good writing. Most people would consider this completely orthogonal to good writing. A simplistic plot can be expressed in a silent film with absolutely no writing. See those Pixar shorts. But in those cases writing doesn't even exist, writing isn't even part of the equation, but I feel that is what you label as "good writing" and what your main point is about.
