I haven't watched a lot of MCU stuff but for a while they were basically a summer blockbuster a group of friends could go see without anyone vetoing it. Guardians was probably my favorite for being wacky and entertaining. When I started to see Pop Figure shrines in people's offices etc, it was interesting to see how these MCU movies had successfully commodified these things from nerd culture and made them mainstream.
