They're too epic.

Standalone films off the Avengers lane aren't real keepers for me.
Origins other than Thor & Hulk are great, the rest feel less essential.

Not incorporating the Netflix shows.
Occasionally too jokey.
Some movies at times feeling like trailers for other movies.

The forced humor and lack of drama. The movies get repetive too.

In some of the stand alones the secondary characters are paper thin on character development, motivation, and characterization. Some are not really characters they are thumb nail sketches at best or at worst they are stereotypes/place holders figuratively dressed as a full character. They are used as vehicles to either push the comedy, provide exposition when the plot gets into a pinch, or there to give a last minute save in the climax. The good secondary or tertiary characters (which are most of them there is only a few bad apples) are used as an analogue or avatar for the viewer. When used like that they are great, but a lot of the time they aren't used in this fashion.

I've said this before (which was apparently an unpopular opinion) but I'll say it again:
The MCU struggles in properly portraying their lead female characters. They usually go with weak casting choices, give the characters generic personalities, and dress them up in bland costumes. They don't get much of the same care and creative hand that the male characters receive.
That said, it's not like the MCU doesn't have some good, well-done female characters... but they tend to be either side characters (like Peggy Carter or Pepper Potts) or one-off characters (like Hela).

Definitely the fanbase. So many pompous smug hyperbolic geeks that think prying themselves off a couch and waddling to the theater means they are special. Granted that's the most exercise many of them have gotten over the last decade or so but it's still not anything to thump their man boobs about.

I’d like to hear summers and DC-Fan’s opinions.

The action scenes feel like there's an epileptic monkey holding the camera at times.

It took way too many films before they had a good villain.

I guess half or 6/10 of the villains don’t really leave an impact.
I would also say that they’re a bit formulaic, but who should honestly give a crap at this point? It’s like saying every single movie of a certain genre is formulaic.

Not really action adventure films. Too much focus on character angst and then comedy that is of the sitcom variety. Non-threatening villains.
Special effects scenes that appear to be following an assembly line "to do" list. And musical scores that are completely forgettable.

I think they rush a bit with certain villains and they sometimes put too much into one major story and character beat but shy away from applying the same effort with others.

It took way too many films before they had a good villain. Define "too many". Because it took them like 3 films before Loki came out. |

I think he's a good character in Thor, just not a particularly good villain. But even then, four films for a decent villain is my main gripe with the early movies. |
