That is patently false. See: All the threads talking about those films all over this site. We just had a dual countdown talking about plenty of films that at least rank in your "even good ones" category.
See - that's the problem. Not only are they shit but they get all people happily talking about them. And true masterpieces, even great films, even good ones - nobody seems to be talking about them.
Everyone knows my taste is shit, but I will certainly make a case that the Captain America films are pretty damned good - all three of them. Guardians of the Galaxy is fun and entertaining, and Infinity War was a hell of a lot of fun in theaters. The Iron Man stuff got progressively worse, but I recall the first film being extremely well-received at the time.
This stuff clearly isn't timeless, as public opinion has soured quite a bit on even the films that used to get reviewed really well.

Fair point. Most (all?) of it was drawn from previous source material. I still think they deserve some credit for engineering it all together with a plan from start to finish, with really only a few missteps up until the finale. Especially when comparing it to the garbage that came/is still coming after that era.
Like I said: For better or for worse. For people who grew up with the comics and liked the characters, it was fun to see them put to screen with some success. Sadly, it grew into a marketing monster and eventually collapsed under its own weight. Many people never want to see another super hero film again.
Alas, they are on their way out, which will make folks like Minio fairly happy, I presume.
