Their scripts are basically mad-libs with McGuffins and giant sky beams switched around - if you read the synopsis on Wikipedia, you have no reason to see them on the screen. They are incredibly ugly films to look at, drowning in CGI, and therefore are terribly staged. They have absolutely nothing human about them, not even the heroes who are now just images/actors intensely controlled by corporations, and the common people have completely disappeared, to the point that climaxes happen in empty airports and empty city streets (again, very badly staged, very ugly to look at). They also stifle any individuality or creativity from the directors they hire, again making the same film over and over again. In short, Marvel Cinematic Universe movies are about how great Marvel is; they have nothing to say about the world, because the world does not exist to them. They are infantile capitalism through geekdom.
