objectively terrible is pretty much spot on.
It may be gauche to enjoy the MCU movies, but I'm left handed and they generally make good movies, so I'm enjoying the grand narrative even when an episode like Black Widow falls a flat (probably has something to do with them releasing it 5 years too late, and burning yet another good villain on a nothing burger).
While predictably cheerleading for a franchise that over and over again has dropped turds all over us, just to have an original hot take is a little transparent. I know we haven't seen them yet, but let me give you Nadals ratings of the upcoming DC movies
The Batman - 10/10
Black Adam - 11/10
The Flash - 9/10
Aquaman 2 - 9.5/10
Shazam 2 - 8/10
Bat Girl - 8/10
Wonder Woman 3 - 10/10
We're 3 years out, we already know what Nadal thinks of the movies that don't exist and it's the greatest franchise ever.
All of that said, I kind of enjoy reading Nadals takes on the movies, I just don't lend them any credence at all when updating my priors on what to expect.
