No, there's a good point being made here. While the company Marvel Studios has existed for a while as a motion picture partner, when Marvel started their own movie studio and stopped relying on other entities to make their comics into films, the quality went up markedly.
Starting with Iron Man, Marvel has enjoyed full autonomy over their film adaptations, a level of creative control and financial reward they have never had in their prior movie deals with 20th Century Fox, Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures, or Lionsgate. What's certain is that Paramount Pictures, which has a distribution deal with Marvel for a set number of films, will still release Iron Man 2, The Avengers, Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man 3 over the next few years as planned.

But a wait-and-see attitude regarding this property is appropriate.
