The cheesiness is part of the charm.

I think cheesy sells the Raimi trilogy short. These movies were incredibly sincere with a clear style and direction from Raimi. These movies are only as cheesy as most comic books are cheesy from their premise.

I think the MCU has spent an enormous amount of effort developing ironic distance from its own content through their writing, dialogue and direction. And from that, modern superhero movies are always needing to be "in on the joke", with the joke being comic books. Therefore it's easy to look back on movies like the Raimi films and feel they're "cheesy" for not apologizing for what they are.
