I saw an article on Bounding into Comics about the upcoming Ms Marvel (Kamala Khan) series casting its main character. Marvel/Disney said they wanted to be true to the character. I laughed so hard when I read that. Maybe going forward they will care about “staying true” to the character.
I’ve been collecting comic books since I was 10 (now 30). A few years ago I was at a local comic con and one vendor was selling comic book mystery bags for 5 bucks. I got the Ms Marvel #1. Kinda boring to me but it’s been going up in price. Maybe I’ll sell it once it goes up more.

Memery aside, I know plenty of people who liked most of the movies after they saw it and then changed their mind because of the landslide of people saying it was impossibly awful and everyone hated it. That's why I joke sometimes that the memes about how bad they are are bigger than their actual flaws. Because if you even mention a positive thing about it, you get dogpiled most places about how awful it, and then you, are.
I won't say they outpace the MCU, but they are better than the lesser, forgotten half MCU movies but get triple the criticism.
