I wouldn't blame Perlmutter for those two movies, or even any of the past movies before he didn't have final saying on them anymore. The Russo Brothers apparently were restricted by his final saying when making 'The Winter Soldier', but that one still turned out great. But when he didn't have final saying anymore, it truly allowed the brothers to do what they wanted to with 'Civil War', which turned out even better.

I guess why people back then allowed the first 'Thor' movie to be what it was was because of the low expectation going into it. I know I had, especially since I found myself at age 15 thinking 'Iron Man 1' was pretty underwhelming (though now I recognize it as actually being great), so I had no real high hopes for the following ones I saw just to catch up before 'Avengers 1' came out, but I was pleasantly surprised by both 'Thor 1' and 'First Avenger' (I didn't see 'Incredible Hulk' or 'Iron Man 2' until a few years ago when I collected the Blu-rays for all of the MCU movies, to also catch up the ones I hadn't seen yet).
