And before you bring up X-Men, there's nothing challenging about subtle-as-a-nuke Holocaust exploitation. In that regard, X-Men doesn't challenge people at all.
The fact it is all wonderous whilst masking real life struggles is the problem. Audiences walk away entertained because they laughed at Ant Man making jokes or Starlord doing a stupid dance. Thats it. There's no suffering or emotional evolution in the MCU which is why its 1 note. No one dies. No one suffers. Without that journey, the payoff at the end is not earned and worthless. No matter how bad some X-films might be atleast they try to exhibit the problems of its heros fully and not holding back. What do the MCU do. They hide or minimise it because they dont want their target audience to see these heros as flawed. Starks apparent PTSD in IM3? Forgotten. Caps worst nightmare of there being no war in Age of Ultron? Ignored. Rhodey being crippled in CW? Laughed off.
These are examples why X-Men in Feiges hands is a terrible idea. You wont get character arcs like Xaviers in DOFP being a suicidal drug addict, or Wolverine in Logan reaching rock bottom. Even DC films that dont quite hit the mark in TDKR and MoS attempt to portray their heros as humans, not idealistic celebrities.
Actually, Ant-Man is a pretty profound story about the paving the future for your children, not being consumed by past mistakes or tragedies, and rising above your own inherent flaws to do the right thing. The film also touches on how difficult it is for ex-cons to get jobs after they're freed from prison and shows the consequences of pushing everyone in your life away. I'd know that because I actually watched the movie instead of only half-watching through a negative lens.
Starlord's dance-off challenge distracted you just as much as it distracted Ronan, but you failed to see what else the film has to offer under the quirkiness and humor.
Stark's Post-Trauma is forgotten? Someone didn't pay any attention during Age of Ultron or Civil War. That crap that happened to him in Avengers and Ironman 3 are the driving forces behind everything he did in those two movies, you idiot.
Oh, Cap's worst nightmare is glossed over? So how come he still doesn't have a social life outside of the other Avengers and Bucky and the next mission, even by Civil War?
People take light of their own injuries to stay sane or keep their friends and relatives from getting too depressed all the time. Oh, wait, humor of any kind is evil to you, I forgot.
Days of Future Past sucked, and so did Wolverine.
