For me it was Guardians of the Galaxy. I had only seen The Avengers and liked it at the time, and I was hyped for this new weird space movie. But all I got was The Avengers in space and it sucked.

I was a kid when they started so I was obviously hyped. As I grew older I continued liking them and slowly my tastes changed. I still don't think they're bad individually, but they're certainly bad for the industry. I liked the comedy before it became predictable, or the action before it became empty. Seeing genuinely comedic movies like the Cornetto trilogy, or action movies like John Wick contributed to that.
I'm sure peer pressure played a part in it. I've started to critically examine my reasoning for liking/disliking certain things to separate my genuine opinions from those that I am pressured into to fit in my in-group.
