As usual that's an over simplification and not at all why I (or many of my friends) don't like the newer stuff. While I enjoy Cosmic stuff the most I'm good with a solid street level movie. The Batman was fantastic. Because they focused on story and not gimmicky bullshit.

Marvel movies have become dumb. And the tone changed COMPLETELY after Infinity Gauntlet. I couldn't even get through Thor L&T. Thor was a ridiculous bumbling idiot but, all the women heroes could do no wrong. In fact Thor needed them to save him and the universe. Not to mention they totally f'd up the Gorr story and character.

I'm tired of Marvel completely changing characters to the point that they no longer resemble anything (other than a name) like the characters I grew to love. And the reasons I like them in the first place. I'm also tired of the constant near slapstick tropes.

It's Disney. They've fucked up Marvel and are destroying Star Wars. If you, or anyone else for that matter, disagree I don't care. That is what I think. And I'm absolutely not alone. I've given every single one of these newer films a chance. And in my opinion they have all been mediocre at best. At worst laughable with totally inept storytelling.

I'm actually looking forward to GOTG V3. But I don't expect much. Adam Warlock is one of my favorite Marvel characters. I look forward to seeing how they fuck him up. Quantumania looks engaging. I'll give it a chance as well. Big Kang fan and Majors is a FANTASTIC actor. Both of those appear to be larger than a "worldwide threat". So that blows apart your statement as well.
