This kinda reminds me of when Beavis and Butthead first came on the air. Panned as the stupidest thing on TV.

When it came back in the 2010s, it was exactly as stupid. However, relative to what ELSE was on TV? Suddenly it was relatively high brow. It was easily the smartest show on MTV. By a LOT.

Putting super Gover in the first Iron Man? Nonsense. Putting him in whatever they do next? IMO it would generally raise the bar. No offense, MCU superfans.
