ReBoot had a ton of these, but I'd really like to play the Mad Max-inspired racing game where cars range from the size of go-karts to armored semi trucks and 747 front ends mounted on tank treads.

The threshold I have for Marvel movies post-Endgame is "Is there anything in this movie, directing, plot, performance, or effects-wise that ought to be deeply embarrassing for the movie makers?" Most don't pass that test, and the few that do rarely rise much higher than that fairly low bar of just-barely-mediocrity.
