Why would I, as a consumer, penalize a studio that consistently makes great film? That seems counter-productive
That's where I disagree
That's my issue with the MCU as well. The hyperbole on this board is just insane to me. Movie expectations have seriously gone down hill if this is what we consider great films now.

I don't think anyone is calling them great films sans a couple of them. These films will never win the big awards anyways. They can't all be schindlers list. That being said, these movies have done what they were meant to do and some of them have been done really well.

Well that's condescending and snobby as hell.
That's your opinion. It's also the opinion of millions of people that Infinity War, the Guardians movies, Thor Ragnarok, Winter Solider and several others are great films.
Who gets to decide whether or not a movie is great? There are movies that are lauded as the some of the greatest of all time that I don't particularly enjoy and wouldn't choose to sit down and watch, but does that make them not great films? No, it's just not my particular taste.
It would be one thing if Marvel was pumping out movies that the fans disliked (I.E. Star Wars TLJ), but they've made many many movies that the fans of all ages and groups have loved. That's not to say that every Marvel movie is great, but in the eyes of many people, many of them are. Who are you to tell people what they are and aren't allowed to think is a great movie?

No one does.
I think you hammer this point to be contrarian on the MCU as a whole.
1) No one has equated any MCU film to something like the Godfather
2) Even if they use the word great, you kind of have to read between the lines. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure is a great film for what it tries to do. No, people are not going to put it in a "Top 20 greatest films of all time" list. Or even a Top 100 "Greatest film achievements of all time."....
3) Because there are different kinds of "greats," not just one
4) This board still celebrates Ex Machina, Whiplash, A Quiet Place, Spotlight, and a host of other "great" movies.
There's nothing wrong with having a great movie experience via a comic book movie. Not every movie has to be a masterful piece of art.
