To me it feels Disney is just running algorithms to generate content. Some VP up in the ivory tower keeps telling the writers "add that joke that worked on the X movie", "make an action scene like that one in Y movie".
Even the stories in Star Wars are rehashes of previous stories with different characters, the whole new trilogy of movies was just episodes IV, V, VI with a different cast and hollow characters.
On MCU it seems that each movie is just the same formula, I haven't even watched "Endgame" because I got sick of the formula after the 4th repetition.
Disney is just pumping content out, quality be damned, I have no idea who thought that completely oversaturating a cash cow market would be good... They killed it, and in its wake tarnished the reputation of Disney. I used to consider anything coming out of Disney to be at least of decent quality, entertaining enough to check out. Now I simply ignore what they do, it's trash.

Looking back, the original Star Wars movies were clunky and had plot problems galore -- but they were fun and they had heart and something novel to offer visually and narratively. Lucas couldn't write dialog for shit, but the pacing, casting, story, and eye candy made up for it by a long shot. (BTW, I thought Endgame was pretty good. There's at least one bit that made me cheer out loud. Maybe I'm just easy, but Cap's big moment was worth the price of admission for me alone.)
