I tend to think they've run their course. I'm not saying that out of personal dislike.
The run from 2008 - 2019 Iron Man to Endgame - had some excellent films in it and were hugely successful, partly down to fantastic casts.
As soon as the likes or Robert Downey Jr were dumped they lost the star power and the charisma that powered the films when they weren't blowing shit up. They also put out too much product (money grabbing?) with additional tv series that linked in with the films, although i did enjoy the first five series of Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter had it's moments. The rest i've not seen. The fact that it helps to have seen The Falcon and the Winter Soldier when it comes to the latest Captain America film puts me off.
I've only seen selective films since Endgame, mainly due to the fact that if i watch something i want it for my physical media collection so have avoided stuff like The Eternals and The Marvels which everyone says are shit. The ones i've seen have been decent - Black Widow - and superb - Spiderman: No Way Home, but the rest i've avoided. Deadpool doesn't count as he's not PG rated MCU in that respect , but i love those films. So funny, so un-PC and so un-Disney.
I'd definitely say watch Iron Man. It's a great film. If you like that then continue on.
I'll finish by saying i do intend on buying Dr. Strange In the Multiverse of Madness at some point.
