The formula is simple
1) Have non-threatening villains
2) Have lots of quips, lame jokes and goofy characters to keep things light hearted
3) Keep the story basic and simplistic so children can follow it (often using a MacGuffin plot device)
4) Heros conflicts are diluted to the extreme to make them appear unbreakable (when have we ever seen a MCU character go through genuine conflict like in Spiderman, Dark Knight trilogy, X-Men even the DCEUs MoS)
The good thing about this forumla is you can predict future films will follow these same tropes.
I know exactly how Black Panther and Thor Ragnorok is going to play out, and thats sad.
