One person, yes. The rest were never into them very much anyway.

I'm not going to jump on the MCU hate wagon. Some of them have been great, others less so. But none have been actually bad movies. There's nothing wrong with making fun and forgettable entertainment.

Whilst I agree with your sentiment I do feel like some of them have objectively been bad movies in a lot of ways. But it is the exception, most of them have been mediocre, some a bit better, some a bit worse. But to say there haven't been a couple of real stinkers is maybe not the whole truth either.

I've enjoyed all of the movies in the moment (except ant man 3) but a few I've liked less the more i think back on them.

Spidey 3, deadpool 3, falcon (mostly), Loki and wandavision were great at release and still are to me (i guess the jury is still out on deadpool with it being so new)

Its mcdonalds of cinema: Its just safely not bad.

This is more a reflection of your food standards than the quality of the films. McDonald's is, and always has been, dogshit.

I eat it every once in a while but most powerful drug is nostalgia rather than quality of mcdonalds. same with marvel movies, it's more "WOW THAT GUY FROM BOOK WHEN I WAS KID!!!!". Nerdslop is made to cash in on that.

Its also how children's shows and merchandize is sold.
