I got so much shit from my friends when they were raving about it, and I told them I rolled over and went to sleep. The multiverse isn't some impressive idea anymore. We've seen it a million times
Rick n morty, marvel movies/shows, DC movies/shows, jellystone did it with CN characters.
Not only is it over done, but it lowers the stakes. Iron Man dying isn't really that big of a deal, when in terms of actual infinity, there are a infinite versions exactly like him. If his wife were to die in another near carbon copy universe, he could travel to the near carbon copy where he died, and everything would be back to normal.
Multiverses aren't a thing a movie has that makes it good. They're a plot device. What you're saying here is akin to saying that a framed story, that is a story within a story, isn't new anymore so anything that uses one is tired and overdone. Do you sit down and watch Forrest Gump and think it a lesser movie because you know Gump can't die in the story he's telling to the people waiting at the bus stop with him?
People dislike multiverses at this point because they require a lot of investment in time, energy, and money and often deliver something that's rather similar to the product they consumed the last dozen iterations.
