As to Marvel, Iron Man was pre-Disney and imo the best of all of the
Marvel Movies, Guardians of The Galaxy being a close second. And Disney
wasn't nearly as heavily involved in Guardians... but if you look at
what they were definitely more influential over (Capt. Marvel, Thor 2,
etc) much worse.

in the grand scheme of things, marvel has been a poorly ran company that
was passed around for decades.

ironman was a fluke. before then nobody could make a good superhero movie. they needed to get the right formula.

I'm pretty sure the widespread ability/availability of special effects
were a huge factor on that... regarding superhero movies. The Tobey
Maguire Spider-Man was really the first superhero movie that wasn't
overall garbage.

Of course, the licensing models etc were mostly outside Marvel's
creative control for those earlier movies.
