Marvel films are the popcorn flicks of the 2010s. None of them are masterpieces, but most are just a fun watch.

But now they're often not even that. Besides a few outliers (No Way Home, GOTG3), they fail to even be entertaining popcorn flicks. I'd say the line is National Treasure. If it's better than National Treasure, that's a solid popcorn flick. If it's worse, then it's not worth watching.

Not a movie, but both seasons of Loki were also good.

Guardians had the things I hate about MCU but was entertaining enough to be enjoyable, because they leaned in to how wacky it was I think. Rest of MCU was just done to a crisp even then.

National Treasure is fucking awful though.

It's certainly no The Mummy (Brendan and Rachel obviously, not Tom's shitty effort that killed the whole "Dark Universe" franchise two movies in), which is about where I draw the line on popcorn guff.

You mean the 1999 cinematic masterpiece, The Mummy, with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz?
