Do non-Disney Marvel films get critiqued more harshly?

I haven't seen 'Morbius', so I can't attest to its quality, but I did enjoy 'Venom' and it's sequel for what they were - silly but surprisingly entertaining fluff. However, both of those films were dragged across hot coals by critics and on social media.

The Disney Marvel films and TV series, however, always get warmly reviewed, despite being so formulaic and simplistic that each entry blends into the next. For some reason, people seem to a lot less eager to critically evaluate and challenge any flaws for the Disney branded stuff.

It felt like this was changing with the tepid response to 'Black Widow' and 'Eternals' during COVID lockdown, but the status quo seems to have returned with 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' and the non-stop conveyor belt of Disney+ series. I remember being shocked to read reviews comparing 'WandaVision' to the work of David Lynch.

Definitely seems that way. The quality is definitely lower too, but still.

They seem to get a light hand from critics, and a heavy hand from the public.
