>>103322313Nah, there is a term, it's called "overrated", and it is a thing. Sometimes something becomes so generally accepted as "good" that people blindly believe it to be so, or when being critical of said "good" thing, will only criticize it with the kiddest of kid gloves, because, it couldn't POSSIBLY be "bad", right? We're all on the same team right guys? Yeah, we're the cool winners!
I'm not saying the MCU became popular for no reason, not even saying all of it is completely horrible, I am however saying by and large it's uninteresting lowest common denominator shit that people feel obligated to praise because of a combination of generated marketing hype, wanting to fit in with the status quo, and blind brand loyalty/bias.
Most MCU movies, had they come out before the explosion of the MCU's popularity and under a different studio, would be viewed completely differently and probably criticized far more harshly.
