Hype itself is honestly a huge part of the problem. For some reason too many people always look at things in absolute extremes. Something is either the most amazing thing ever or it's hard garbage. Nobody really seems to be able to process the idea of something just being "reliably good." I hate saying stuff like this because it sounds really dismissive but not every comic is THAT good. Very few are. That's not that they're bad or even, as the zoomies like to say "mid" but something can just be good and enjoyable for a read and that's enough. Part of what makes the big stuff BIG was how you had issues and issues of NORMAL stories to establish the status quo that was about to be changed forever. But people see THIS COMIC WAS GOOD and think "oh boy head is going to explode from the epic."
