Saw Guardians this weekend.
It was a good time, to be sure, but it didn't quite tickle me the way it seems to've done to others.
Why? I have some ideas, especially your admitted casual fan status (what made this sing for me were references and depictions of **** I loved as a kid just jumping off the page...but deep geek stuff).
What worked...didn't. Legit curious. Not trying to wind you up.

Like I said earlier...smart man. And although I am really kinda hard on the Marvel films, I do admit...they have DC beat as far as process. I like the weird Marvel, Dr. Strange was not without faults...but I did enjoy it. Guardians is just aces. Both films. And I REALLY like the look and feel of Thor:Ragnarok. Now let's get Man Thing, Werewolf by Night, Moon Knight, and the more trippy horror weirdo cosmic stuff and I will be saying MAKE MINE MARVEL in no time.
Marvel’s Inhumans: First Look At Lockjaw Surfaces

The new ride is set inside the Collector’s Fortress, and while guests are waiting in line, they can see tons of MCU “artifacts” on display among the Collector’s fabled collection. Among these display case items are Doctor Strange’s Eye of Agomotto and a jacket from one of the members of the Nova Corps. But it’s two artifacts in particular that has raised the eyebrows of Marvel fans who got to preview the ride early before its grand opening.
...
The first of these artifacts is an Asgardian War Hammer, with a description that says it was “originated in the dwarves forge on Nidavellir, this finely crafted object is made of the powerful stone, Uru.”
...
The second clue is a set of ancient texts and art, which are labeled “Mysterious Artifacts.” The description of these items, however, is less mysterious, and indicates that they are from the undersea kingdom of Atlantis.... The writing says that they “were found at the bottom of the Terran ocean. Very little is known of the civilization that created them.”
