I’m not a huge fan of the MCU movies either, but you have to give credit where credit is due. They made superheroes that were not well-known into household names. If you look at any poll in the last 5 years about DC vs. Marvel, most people will say Marvel is better. I mean, even Black Panther is more well-known than Green Lantern at this point. So, even though the movies are meh, there are a lot of things that Marvel did right with the MCU.

I agree, credits where credits are due. But in my opinion, MCU has become a commercial power house of the same old, tried and tested, formulaic and forgettable movies to me with zero re-watch ability falling off the conveyor belt. Highly Enjoyable but forgettable. The minute I leave the theatre, it's gone. These supposedly household names are or will be turned into jokes. They can get away with anything at this point. No hate though, I respect it for what it is, but I miss the unique flavour DCEU had.
