You're a bit too stringent for my tastes; I'd add CA:TFA, Thor, and The Avengers to that list. Of course, that means by my standards half of MCU films are good, while even by your more exacting standards almost a third of them are good.

I agree that the smugness isn't wholly warranted, but it's also not wrong to say that a significant number of Marvel films are getting something right that DC films just aren't. (At least not yet. I'm holding out hope for Wonder Woman, and Justice League might pleasantly surprise me.)

The first half of CA:TFA was AMAZING. And then idk what happened and it just... Shit the bed :( Thor was fun but I didn't think it was that good and Avengers was great for doing something original and tying something together due to context and timing. But as a whole and hindsight it's very weak and Whedon's writing and his whedonisms are annoying.

But yeah. I'm not denying they're doing something right. Their world building which is smart as opposed to DC throwing pasta at the wall and seeing what sticks. It's just the smugness that is insufferable to me.

Also praying for WW but I know WB is gonna fuck that up somehow. Why can't they make good live action like the animated movies... Although those have gone bad since the Damian movies =/ at least the comics are good.
