But in the never ending comparison to the gold standard of Marvel, Black Panther and Spider-Man were added to Civil War before their own solo films and nobody is complaining about that.
Spiderman has had so many movies made that it would be more of a hindrance than a help. As for Black Panther, he had bit parts in civil war to get us interested enough to want to know more about him. His solo movie then fleshed out his character and background.

The issue with the DCEU hasn't really been the heroes, it's the fact that the story didn't make any ####ing sense. How does Darkseid not remember where the planet that kicked his ass is? Or knowing that Steppenwolf found a mother box which he last happened to see on that very same planet, not realize it much earlier is ridiculous.

As another poster pointed out, one single movie building it the backstory of the mother boxes could have fixed a lot of the issues. But lazy sorry telling doesn't get you far with people that have been mostly spoiled by a great product in the MCU.

It's like when the WWE came to Calgary years ago, brought a mediocre Monday Raw to the home of stampede wrestling and the fans chanted Taber corn for 2 hours.
