I consider Guardians of the Galaxy 1&2 to be the cream of the Marvel crop, completely stand on their own, while fitting nicely into the Marvel master plan, the Infinity Stone Saga, along with the original Thor, Ragnarok, Ant Man and Captain Marvel.
The Infinity Stone Saga is one of the greatest achievements in film lore to have this many movies tied together in one huge story arc. It’s kind of amazing, and amazingly successful at the box office.
On the other hand, TSS is a competently made movie, I just don’t care for the artistic/story choices made, I think to set it apart, carve out a different niche from Marvel, while observing that all of the Marvel made movies are better, more entertaining stories IMO. Compare TSS to Avengers: Age of Ultron, two similar stories, the latter kicks it‘s butt imo.
I can see some interest in coercing a group of super villains together to take care of a nasty situation, it’s the dark side where an R rating is not a surprise, where you have to show a penis (although you might actually miss that if not paying close attention 
) and have a why bother sex scene (failure to commit ) In some ways it reminds me of The Boys*, which ultimately was too dark for my continued enjoyment.

*Another DC Comic product- Based on the comic book of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, which was originally published by DC Comicsunder their Wildstorm imprint before moving to Dynamite Entertainment; it follows the eponymous team of vigilantes as they combat superpowered individuals who abuse their abilities.
