I find that recent superhero movies expect you to understand the world context from the kajillion movies and books that came before it. So much time is spent showing something or someone on screen with ominous music that makes it clear that you should already know what this means or who it is. I don’t have 700 hours of superhero world research to do before watching a movie, and I have started to hate this genre because the movies are becoming barely comprehensible on their own.
