Once the problems were fixed, there we started getting some details of things we've previously only seen as dots. It provided a lot of data, but it wasn't as visually impressive right away like with the Webb telescope.

The visual wow moments in the 90's came from probes like Gallileo. Not that Hubble hasn't provided amazing images, but mostly it provided actual images of many distant objects. And pixels where we previously didn't see anything.
