I don't see it as indicative of quality of the sequel, but rather how perceptions change over time across other movies. The Thor and Cap sequels especially, since both 'Thor 1' and 'Cap: The First Avenger' are in the bottom 5 of least worldwide grosses of the MCU movies (alongside 'Incredible Hulk', 'Ant-Man 1', and surprisingly 'Iron Man 1'). With 'Avengers 1' hitting $1.5 billion, it changed everything, and more people started to go see the following movies just because it's Marvel, and that it's them following up to that big movie.
