"absolutely nothing to say" is a bit extreme. The Winter Soldier had a very clear political message, Guardians has always been about artificial family, every origin story movie is an individual overcoming some relatable human flaw. They aren't complicated, but they aren't Transformers/BvS.

The victory lap movies tend to fall into your categorization at least (Avengers, Civil War, maybe Thor 3).

Very similar to people who think the Rambo movies are just action movies. Every one of those movies had a political purpose.
