Yep.  totally biased.  Couldn't possibly be that the movies are good.  That's what it is.  I'm biased towards fun superhero movies. 

Yeps, totally biased. Because, as I said before, that's the only way to explain how someone can recommend the Iron Man sequels or the Thor movies. Even Age of Ultron, there's no redeeming quality to that movie.

Wrong. 

See, you made an absolute statement, and only a sith deals in absolutes.  While They weren't perfect, you forget that all of those movies had heart, humor, action, and some engaging characters.  Even with Iron Man 2, tony stark was still a blast to be with.  They fucked up Whiplash, no doubt there, but it still had a lot of good scenes and character development. 

The same thing can be said for the third Iron Man movie, Both Thor movies, and especially age of ultron.  

Honestly, I don't understand why so many people dislike Age of Ultron.  I thought it was great.  Sure, it had some un-answered plot threads in regards to the Thor thing and a few others, but that's the nature of a shared universe.  The reason I forgive so many of the little things like that in the Marvel movies is that I know that Thor's magical pool may be answered in Ragnarok.  (and it ACTUALLY was answered in the Deleted scene, but we can all agree that doesn't officially count due to it not being in the theatrical release).  

Even the 'bad' Marvel movies (Incredible hulk, Iron Man 2) are still pretty damn good, and better than what DC has been putting out (sans The Dark Knight trilogy).

My point is simple:  These movies are fun and have plenty of redeeming factors.  I'm just waiting for one to disappoint me, and none in the MCU have so far.  

And you know I'm not a fanboy because I didn't like FantFourStic or either of the spider man movies.  X-Men have only started getting better after some really crummy middle movies.  The Dark Knight and Batman Begins are two of the best superhero movies of all time.
