I don't trust that rating. Marvel movies (yes I know its Sony) are getting to the point of like a long running anime or tv series.

You are just so invested in the characters and the world that you are ignoring how bland the story has actually become. Everyone talks about how Marvel perfected the comic book recipe and makes billions all the time, but to me that perfecting the recipe just means they have become repetitive, predictable, stale, ect. Basically the last like dozen marvel movies all are just one big blur. Nothing really stands out.

I have to agree with you there. Sure they make money, but for me at least they've been pretty bland ever since the first Avengers movie. Not only that, but the MCU has become a great big twisted mess, I can't even follow the overarcing narrative most of the time. Admittedly I've skipped some movies because they seemed meh, but still, you shouldn't need to see movies in another series entirely to know what's going on within a single series. I really don't see why they feel the need to have this great big connected universe. Some of these Spiderman Homecoming tv spots I've been seeing lately just about have more Iron Man and Captain America scenes in them than Spiderman. I don't see why they feel they need to shoehorn them into this movie. Raimi Spiderman will always be the best Spiderman to me. I know the comic purists might hate me for having that opinion since the Raimi movies didn't follow the comics that closely, but I don't really care. 

I'm almost in the opposite boat in that regard.

I feel that most of the movies are essentially pointless. The villains/plots/ect mean abosultely nothing in the grand scheme. Each movie just has some random gem or thanos reference to build itself up to "INFINITY WAR" yet for the most part they all just feel like origin stories. Sure it might be someones 3rd movie, but what the movie is really doing is trying to introduce anoter Marvel character into the movie.
