There's a noticeable difference in how the Phase 1 movies are shot compared to how they're done today.
I saw people on Twitter saying that The Winter Soldier was the beginning of the end in terms of visual quality. Disney saw the immense positive reception and demanded that the rest of the movies look like that from now on.
Personally, I think that as the MCU has expanded to more than 2 projects a year, probably far easier to just have them shoot everything in front of a blue screen and CGI the background later. I think I made a thread about visually dull No Way Home is due to all the blue screening.
