Look I'm not even a superhero comic reader (I mostly only read Dylan Dog and I'm more into graphic novels that aren't about superheroes), but I appreciate these films for what they accomplished.
The two Guardians films, Thor: Ragnarok and the latest one, those that are more outlandish and set in space, are the ones that I find more fascinating because I like SciFi, I like this franchise the most when it's more like a Space Opera than a superhero fare (but I still love me some Tony Stark and Spidey). And again I'm fascinated by what they managed to accomplish with this interconnected movie series, all handled by people that shared an idea and did their best to make it come true the way they envisioned it. I can't help but be impressed that they pulled it off. It's something that will hardly be repeated or even done this successfully, hell people NOWADAYS try to make cinematic universes without accomplishing what the MCU did.

Also, man... 10 years. I'm not a huge fan of EVERY film they made (I'll hardly collect every single film on DVD), but this franchise has still been part of my world since I was 14. These characters, these scenes, these moments are the stuff that I'll remember when I'll be older and I'll tell the next generation how I was there when it happened and how it felt seeing it evolve and grow up with you.
Robert Downey Jr., Tom Holland, Chris Evans/Pratt/Hemsworth and a couple of CGI characters will stick with me the same way stuff from Star Wars, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future and some other things did with people of the previous generation, and looking at them will remind me of when I was younger and I walked to the theater to watch them, I'll relate them to this stage of my life, among other things.

I re-watched Infinity War last Sunday and I felt compelled to do this admittedly sketchy piece of art, but nonetheless a way to express my appreciation. I know it's sappy but what can I do, when I really dig and have an attachment to something, I get involved.

UPDATE: this does not include Phase 4. In fact, I was disappointed by Endgame and things got only downhill from there.
It's just not the same writing teams anymore, it's like zombie Simpsons. Hacks playing around with the hard work of those who came before them. They rely too much on references and cameos and actors reprising roles, it's not like early MCU that actually put effort to make you care.
If you're someone who's perfectly fine with Phase 4... just do me a favor and click elsewhere and leave me alone. I don't care, I'm just kinda done with the MCU and I'll just move on with other things. It's been a pretty solid decade of superhero adventures and even with an uneven ending I'll have good memories, I don't care about this new crap, thank you very much.
