Hating on Marvel?

Apparently it has become trendy, common, or rote to bash on DC, especially the DCCU. And according to @Matt (MIA for a while) the level of hate increases if you eliminate the multiple posts by the same "MCU fanboys" and those people who just don't care for the Man of Steel movie.
To test if it's only trendy to bash DC, this thread is to sound-off for any skepticism, cynicism, or "haters" that have any complaints about the way Marvel publishing operates or how the MCU is being handled?
Relative to DC or exclusively is fine.
'MCU fanboys' and 'DC apologists' are encouraged to participate.

I thought Days of Future Past movie sucked and all the Wolverine solo movies were garbage.
I think Age of Ultron was pretty weak and only saw it once in theaters instead of 3x for the first one.
I think a lot of people are griping about the diversity push in Marvel comics, even though I support it.
That is, if I am assuming correctly, you want this to be an actual discussion that answers the question you are asking (which was @Matt 's intention in that other discussion the intention of the thread you are building this out of) rather than simply making a parody of another discussion.
It will remind us why we love comics and air conditioning.
BTW, I hated the first Doctor Strange movie!
I was a DC guy but I am pretty much uninterested in nearly all of their new stuff - except for their digital first titles.
I am more excited for Marvel than I have been in years. Everything I have been hearing about Secret Wars makes me excited to read it. I got Hickman's run on FF and Avengers so that I am not lost. I am going to try several of the Secret War tie ins and will get some of the post secret wars series. I have only been getting two titles - Daredevil and Thor. I may be up to around 12 Marvel titles very soon.
Price point is the one thing that I dislike. The prices for Marvel trades seem to either staying the same or going up with less content - 5 issue trades. The next price increase could price me out of some titles.
I think Marvel is trying diversity in the best way they can but I can see how it may appear to some that it is being pushed down the fans throat. I am not sure though if that is Marvel's doing or the doing of the various comic news sources.
I love the movies but I wonder how long the bubble can last until the general audience gets sick of it and stops going. There is so much stuff being put out or getting ready to be put out by both companies (tv & movies) that I think that something will have to give. I just do not know when that will happen.
I don't care what they try to say ..that's not Doctor Doom.
It's like the He-Man movie all over again. What I mean is that when I was a kid I was SO excited for the He-Man movie but it was garbage. Somebody decided to change everything because you couldn't make it like the cartoon. Or how about the Super Mario movie..remember that? I get the same vibe here. Just enough is the same so you can use the title but so much is changed that fans barely recognize the characters they love.

How the hell else was this conversation going to become about Batman?? ;)
You've been warned.
What about a Batman 66 story arc where Batman meets the Beatles?
Would that be @Matt least favorite Batman story of all time?

But you can find Marvel Comics Super Special #4, which was a biographic account of the Beatles, and was also penciled by George (this story he really enjoyed doing), this time inked by Klaus Janson with a cover by Tom Palmer.
I might be mistaken... But didn't they also appear in an issue of FF sometime??
For the kids out there its Explanation Time with Cap'n Matt:
For one berief moment in 1992 Billy Ray Cyrus was the biggest star in music with his mega hit Achy Breaky Heart.
Since I can never remember how to embed YouTube's I'll leave it to someone else to post the video.
This was a decade before became famous for playing Hanna Montana's dad.
I thought Bendis' run on Guardians was terrible. I don't know why he thought turning a fun book into a serious space opera would be a good idea, but it wasn't.
Groot and Rocket Racoon are fine books but they are for kids, I can't get through an issue of either.
I haven't given the latest Nova a chance yet so who knows.
I know there is (was?) a Bucky book. Has anybody read it? Is it any good? Does it deal with the broader Cosmic Marvel Universe or is it more like the recent Cyclops title?
...........
Cyclops was great when Rucka wrote it. I highly recommend his issues.
