What you've described is a problem with most blockbusters of the modern era (since the early 2010s at least): inauthenticity, the feeling like the movie is making fun of you for investing in it even for a moment, because there's always another stupid joke coming to undermine any real emotion. This exhausts the audience, and I think it's the real underlying reason for Marvel fatigue. The She-Hulk series was the purest distillation of this and it was reviled, and I don't think that's a coincidence.

I don't think this era of blockbusters will be remembered fondly.

Fully agree there. I think infinity saga was some of the best. I don't think anything after that will be remembered
