Marvel hasn't had a miss with their top tier properties so far so it seems likely to be good.

The only film to really stink up the place was Eternals but I don't know anyone who actually cared about that property to begin with.

A lot of people ragged on Marvels but it was just... fine. "Mostly harmless." Some of the VFX were trash, but not awful.

Thor 4?

Ant-Man 3, if you count that. I wouldn't call it a tip tier property. But they were clearly trying to use it as a launching point for the next phase.

Thor 4 suffered from too much Taika Waititi, but considering he resurrected the franchise with Thor 3, I can see why they gave him free reign.

Ant-Man 3 wasn't awful, I'm not sure where the hate comes from. My only real beef with it was that it didn't have another scene stealing recap of events from Luis.

Marvel's problem there is they kind of painted themselves into a corner with Kang, and that's a shame because Jonathan Majors is legitimately a strong actor, he was great in Lovecraft Country and Loki Season 2.

My problem with Ant Man 3 was everything wrong with The Marvels but much worse. Individual scenes were fine, but they felt disconnected either plot wise, thematically, or emotionally. Kang felt incompetent, regardless of the plot reasons why he was underpowered. And they could have done just about anything else with MODOK and it would have been better.

Jonathan Majors stole every scene he was in. It felt like it was him vs the writing.
