Don't know what to tell you friend, my opinion is nearly entirely opposite yours. But I'm not trying to convince you to like Marvel, as I've hinted at before, if comics weren't for you why assume comic movies would be? I was only trying to answer dangblingus's question "Who is actually going to all of these Marvel movies?" Me, I am.
I've been entertained by all of the Disney+ series, with perhaps the exception of Secret Invasion which was pretty rough and superfluous.
I don't see how any of the characters were fucked up in MoM personally.
NWH is easily one of my least favorite MCU properties as I think it's an empty film with nothing but fanservice to offer, but even I will concede it has a couple moments that are so good they almost redeem and justify the whole film, so I still like it well enough to not call it "bad."
Ant-Man wasn't great, I'll agree there, but Ant-Man has always been the "family" property in the Marvel deck. Yes, I know these are all "family" films to some degree, but Ant-Man has always been the only active father in the MCU, his films have been the only ones to actively involve a child, and his films have been the ones most filled with goofy gags and humor. So complaining that Ant-Man felt like Spy Kids is a big silly to me, because the Ant-Man series is very much trying to capture a similar segment that the Spy Kids films were.
I thought Black Widow was definitely unnecessary in the "how does this fit into the greater picture" sense, but otherwise was great, and again is very comic book in the sense that sometimes they just publish side origin stories mostly out of continuity. Your complaints about lacking depth feel especially hollow here, as I think Black Widow genuinely focused on adding depth to Natasha (and succeeded) while introducing Yelena in a way that made her feel full, developed, and three-dimensional.
So I'm not sure what you want from these films, but I think they may just not be for you. It's cool you dipped your toe in the water and had fun with them for awhile, but that doesn't mean you or anyone else was wronged just because you decided the room wasn't for you after all. 🤷♂️
