Marvel movies have never peaked because it was a downwards slide from the start
It’s hard to argue that the first Ironman didn’t completely reboot and reframe the entirety of the marvel franchise and superhero movie genre.
Is it a critically acclaimed movie? No.
But it should still be recognised as the starting point for a massive popular culture shift.

My god End Game was trash. It qas terribly rushed. They should've just ended it in Infinity war with a cliff hanger.

There are too many. The other day I saw the latest flash movie. It's the second? Third? Fourth? I don't know because they don't put a number and I don't care enough. Too many stuff referenced other movies or series making watching a bit of a hassle. Is this just unknown and will be told later for making the movie interesting, or it's because the audience is supposed to having watched 40 hours of previous works?
If they really need to push a new superhero movie or series every 2 months, their stories should be self contained, at most separated in a trilogy. Not an infinite parallel universe constantly self referenced that needs a guide that tells you which content you need to watch and in which order.

I felt that way after Spiderman 3.
Jazz hands!
Marvels was good, trolls getting mad about it are also good, really just a good time to be alive entertainment-wise
The Marvels was poorly paced and I don't know if that's more the fault of the editing or the directing. But holy shit the individual pieces were so. good.
The interactions between the leads, the evolution of the fight scenes to integrate the problem and turn it into an advantage. Princesses and kittens are not my kind of deal, but they were absolutely perfect in this movie and I was thrilled to see them. Kamala Khan being a superhero with a normal, well-adjusted, loving family is one of my favorite things about her character.
My frustration and disappointment with this and with The Eternals is this had all the pieces to be a great Marvel movie, but the pieces didn't get assembled properly somehow. I don't know what changed about their production process, but if they can fix it, they still have good content to build great movies on. Haters bedamned.
Honestly, as far as the ensemble movies go, I personally think Marvel peaked with the first Avengers movie...

I didn't really care for the movies until Thanos made an appearance. Right now is like the prelims. Once we get to the main card when the next main boss comes, I'm going to be hyped again.

Yes endgame was good, but fuck if people aren't now comparing the "weekly episodes" to what was essentially the epic 2 part seaon finale.
spoiler plus
season 2 of Loki was as good as anything they've done___
