I don't think the more recent MCU movies have reduced in quality at all. I just think that a large portion of the audience, including reviewers, are MCU-fatigued and that is coloring their reviews.

I agree, but I’m probably biased. I got MCU fatigue after how much I hated Captain America: Civil War, and sat out many following movies after that, besides a solo movie here and there that interested me like Black Panther or Ragnarok. And I never went back and watched the films I missed, probably never will. But after enjoying Black Widow(which I had to see because I had wanted that movie for ages), I got back into the MCU, and have seen most of the movies since. Barring sequels to movies I don’t want to see like Ant-Man and Doctor Strange, or movies that sound like bad endings like No Way Home.

But I happened to get back into the MCU at large around the same time everyone else seemed to collectively get MCU and general superhero fatigue. Which is fair, and to each their own. But people are deriding all of the recent movies as bad, when I’ve enjoyed so many of them. While I had to deal with people going crazy over Infinity War and Endgame. None of that really means anything, because people aren’t wrong to dislike or like whichever movies they want, it just happened that way. But I don’t think most of the recent movies are actually bad, and I don’t get why several of them are as hated as they are when they’re so similar to one’s people liked. I know that some may say “it’s because they’re similar that they’re bad”. But that’s not true. It’s not the individual movies fault that they follow a template, and they’re not worse than the movies they’re similar to if looked at without that comparison. It’s understandable to get sick of something that’s samey, so I get people who are done with the MCU as a whole. I just don’t think every individual movie needs to be hated because of the template nature.

Ngl I think that if Guardians of the Galaxy 3 came out right after Endgame it'd be sitting in the 90s on Rotten Tomatoes instead of at 81.

Not saying it deserves it necessarily, just that I feel more critics would have been warmer towards how hard it tries to be an emotionally effective trilogy finale. Instead, I feel things like Love and Thunder and the Disney+ Christmas Special stole that thunder a bit, further emphasizing to me how much the need for everything to be attached to the wider MCU bogs down a lot of the appeal of these characters

Saying as MCU hater, no, they aren't worse. The thing is they don't really bring anything new to the table either. MCU was fresh when it startered so people could much more easier ignore all the bad things for some fun action. Now it's getting stale and boring because this movies don't really change.

THey don't need to change because the formula works.
