Superhero flicks are hit and miss and usually meh.  Some standouts are the first Guardians of the Galaxy, Logan, Deadpool 1, Black Panther, and Avengers: Infinity War  and Endgame.  Civil War, Winter Solider, the the first Thor movie were also good.

The others were meh or crappy.  They've made so many movies they're now scraping the bottom of the barrel making films of crappy characters like Shangi-Chi, Black Widow etc.
I thought they were scraping the bottom of the barrel with Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant Man (neither of whom were well-known properties), but they somehow managed to pull it off and make movies that were somewhat enjoyable/successful.

The worst thing about these movies is that they take up all the blockbuster real estate at the box office.  In the 2000's you had some superhero movies but also Lord of the Rings movies, Harry Potter films, Star Wars prequels etc.  Now its just Marvel/Star Wars Disney crap.
Well, even after Marvel started to release their movies (back in 2009), you still had Avatar, Jurassic World, Fast and Furious films, Transformers movies, James Bond movies, the Hobbit films, and various animated movies from Pixar and Disney, all of which rival many of the Marvel and DC movies. So there appears to be plenty of "blockbuster real estate" that hasn't been taken up by super hero films.

(If people remember the super hero movies more, its perhaps because at least some of them were pretty well done, and Marvel has kept up the quality, whereas things like the Star Wars sequel trilogy, Transformers, etc. have descended into junk.)
