I do think the problem is rooted in Joss Whedon, or rather, movie studios looking at Avengers and thinking, "This, all the time." People got tired of Joss Whedon himself (among other problems with him), much less more corporate, soulless imitations.
Joss Whedon's jokes were fine, because they were a fresh and funny take on an otherwise overly-serious and humdrum Superhero genre. His writing was game changing.
The issue was that it was overused so much by every subsequent film after Guardians of the Galaxy that it became an eye-rolling trope of Marvel films.
