Right Vader. Right.
You could at least pretend to have an argument... I don't think they're fantastic films, but they largely achieve what they were designed to.

How do I not look at these marvel movies realistically?
Without knowing exactly how you can view them, probably the cliche, uninspired, and stale scripts that are overwhelmed with predictability, mostly poor performances, and almost always the third act sucks. Iron Man's does, and Iron Man 2 is a bit of a mess in every way, Thor is pretty much ridiculous and much of the film's 'huge' action scenes are just "insert typical super powerful guy taking down idiot opponent' scene here" and I've not yet seen Captain America.

But yeah.

Mostly poor performances? Come on. You have to be joking.

The leads are usuuuaally great, but the rest? ...come on mate. It's bad

Again you have to be joking. You are really going to sit here and tell me that Jeff Bridges, Tom Hiddleston, SAM ROCKWELL, Hugo Weaving, Tommy Lee Jones, Stanley Tucci, Hayley Atwell, Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrance Howard, Anthony Hopkins, Tim Roth, etc are bad? Not to mention how great the leads are like RDJ, Hemsworth, Norton and Evans. Also, Renner and Ruffalo who are sure to bring the goods.

Some of that is just hyperbole, like with Renner (who only has a few good performances that are almost identical playing one or two dimensional characters in both) and Ruffalo (we haven't seen a second of his performance).
Additionally, yeah, those are probably the weakest performances of almost all those actors. You conveniently ignored almost everyone in Thor other than Hemsworth/Hiddleston/Hopkins, everyone gives embarrassingly bad performances, Natalie Portman is fucking horrendous, all of his friends are... beyond awful, the list goes on.
