If we're being honest the best parts of phase 4 were the tv shows.. The movies were where things were lacking
In an interview with Deadline, Robert Downey Jr. spoke about Quentin Tarantino’s disparaging comments towards the comic book movie genre, while also broadly discussing how he sees it all.
Downey started by stating how ”[he] think our opinions on these matters say a lot about us… But it’s a double-edged sword:”

I appreciate this POV, but RDJ is one of the biggest examples of what Tarantino was saying. His career was lowkey dying on the vine before getting that Iron Man role. Look at his filmography after 2008. It's basically a bunch of established IPs like Sherlock Holmes, Dolittle, and Avengers movies with a teeny tiny percentage of original joints spread in that aren't doing even close to what those established IP movies are doing. I think people are upset because they think Tarantino, Coppola, and Scorsesee are saying that these folks can't actually ACT or that they're not big names when they say they're not movie stars. That's not the case though.

I thought movie stars and actors in general did that kind of thing all the time. RDJr basically said as much. By actors having a couple of these MASSIVE movies in the tuck that gives them some more freedom to do some of the passion projects like indie movies or plays that might not normally get made without their big name attached to it. Part of the reason theyre names are big are from these franchises

How many movie stars has the MCU made in recent years? That’s the point. There are NO movie stars based on how the business has changed due to the success of the intellectual property film industry. I don’t blame the comic book films because this was happening before them ie Harry Potter and LOTR trilogy

It's actually pretty interesting
What do you all consider movie stars?
The actors are making lots of money, are international names, and many have the ability to take on other projects if that's what they choose. Maybe Chris Hemsworth isn't Arnold in the 80s, but it's not like he's a nobody either. And people like Benedict Cumberbatch has like two other movies for every Dr. Strange appearance he's done, so what are we really talking about here?
At the end of the day, directors and actors criticizing the MCU isn't the problem. The problem is that it's extremely transparent that their criticisms come from a place of hating.

When OG rappers shit on today’s rap, most of y’all niggas be on the old rappers side. Talking the “REAL HIP-HOP” shit.
When new rappers speak their peace on old rappers, y’all don’t listen to what they saying and shit on them.
Funny y’all not giving OG directors that gave y’all classics the same grace. But Nas is relevant.

They already told you what a movie star is. Y’all not getting it and I don’t know if I can explain it any better. No one is saying that these people aren’t big names. No one is saying that these people aren’t getting roles. No one is saying that these people can’t act. They’re celebrities. Celebrity actors, but they are not movie stars.

There was a balance. Brad Pitt doesn’t make a 12 Monkeys in this climate

I didn't see where anyone gave a worthwhile definition of a movie star, but from your little rant, it sounds like they are just making up a definition to suit their own arguments which is...stupid.
