The threshold I have for Marvel movies post-Endgame is “Is there anything in this movie, directing, plot, performance, or effects-wise that ought to be deeply embarrassing for the movie makers?” Most don’t pass that test, and the few that do rarely rise much higher than that fairly low bar of just-barely-mediocrity.
My metroc is “is Florence Pugh playing the adorable assassin in it with all the good lines?” “Is Star Lord in it so Rocket can keep asking him for fake limbs?” “Is Alt world Tony Stark in it somehow?”
Obviously I like the witty lines and have a mild crush on Ms Pugh, but, don’t we all?
