I'm completely fine with the cheesy superhero aesthetic part of it, but imo the whole thing needs a reset. The MCU has gotten too big and unwieldy and is getting bogged down by trying to stick to all the canon and characters established by even its worst films. I used to watch every one, but it started falling apart for me after Spiderman: No Way Home (or far from home? Whichever was the first one. Stupid titles imo). Shiang-chi was good though, even though it had some of the blatantly obviously cute-cgi-animal-for-toys aspects.

Guardians of the Galaxy, and Thor recently, especially I'm still alright with because it doesn't try to pretend to be anything but what it is. I feel like the pseudo-80s space setting makes them feel like they can be fully and shamelessly over-the-top and playful, vs trying to make yet another semi-serious emotional epic somehow combined with zingers.

I am tired of the quippy one liner humor in general in these movies though.

Everything Everywhere All At Once blew Dr. Strange sky high out of the water as a multiverse movie (as well as, well, everything else). That might as well be a superhero/comic books movie.

I guess I just want a big shakeup and some more originality, less concern with the huge Cinematic Universe deal.

Now I'm talking myself around to thinking maybe it would actually be best for superhero movies if we booted marvel entirely and brought in independant comics as a basis instead.

Also I agree about the technobabble. A little handwavium for ship like FTL is fine, but generally I could so without all the hacking tropes and whatnot these days.

It doesn't have to be connected to MCU. Insomniac's Spider-man games are very good. Super hero games, done well, still has an audience, I believe.
