Reviewing your scores I'd wonder if you either are harder on films in general or if you don't enjoy these MCU as much as I do. On rewatching only Iron Man 3 and Thor Ragnarok were a real chore for me.

Probably more of the latter. MCU movies, and superhero flicks in general, tend to have a low ceiling. Feige et al. have done a great job in the MCU of raising the floor, so that most installments operate in a space that ranges from mediocre to good, but very few of them transcend those upper limits. You can only be so interesting and creative and daring when you're trying to sell your product to everyone on the planet.

I suppose I grade films within the realm of what they are.  Action movies can be great fun, but not be great in the same way as a dramatic work. I never have thought any MCU was best picture quality, but I do thoroughly enjoy some of them.
