!!!Spider-Man Homecoming:
* immortalfrieza: The movie was fine, but Spidey's competence throughout the movie was all but nonexistent mostly just for the sake of cheap slapstick and it really dragged down a movie that would have been a lot better otherwise. No moment more clearly illustrates this than the fight against the ATM robbers. Any other version of Spider-Man including those just as young as this version and just as inexperienced would have effortlessly kicked these guys asses in the space of about 10 seconds to a minute tops, likely before they even knew he was there. This Spider-Man instead walks straight up to them and announces his presence, then gets into a several minute long fight scene that ultimately results in the whole bank being destroyed along with a Deli across the street. It only gets much, much worse from there. I get that he's supposed to be young new to this but come on, this Spider-Man is so green he looks like he got his powers an hour before the time of the movie with no attempt to train, not been active for months.

* h31r-of-l1f3:I think what's worse is the studios lack of understanding that Thor is magic. If I wanted one with science, I'd watch Ant-man or Iron Man. Thor is a god with a hammer that controls weather and he can fly with if he spins it fast. This is best shown with the hot garbage of the dark elves assault on Asgard. I honestly thought StarWars was on, with the lasers and shields. It's not like magic does not exist in Marvel, Doctor Strange pulled off witchcraft. Thor is magic, not science. smaller problem, but why did Jane know the medical device being used on her? She studies space, not medical technology. You may as well have Pepper Pots tell Doctor Strange what spells to use.

* hank412: I have trouble finding a single moment that pissed me off in a movie full of moments that pissed me off. Though, if I had to pick one, it would be where all my problems with the movie first began, the first snowball that someone threw down the snowy hill: The moment when Cap tells Tony that he tore the Avengers apart by signing the accords. Great job on reminding me that the accords were in this movie, because I had pretty much forgot. Though, that’s probably because it was this moment that I realized the film pretty much paid lip service to them, but it was still going to act like they’re the driving force behind everything when they clearly aren’t. It was a moment where it felt like the movie was completely insulting my intelligence as a viewer. Something like that goes beyond a few plot holes or inept storytelling. The moment when this film thought it could get away with treating its audience as anything less than equal is truly a DMoS.

!!!Captain America: Civil War
* hank412: The whole movie. I had never seen a movie that felt so condescending and just so inept at storytelling. The whole just seemed to act like it was leagues smarter than it actually was. No, you aren't going to trick me into thinking that the movie isn't called Civil War. No, you aren't going to trick me into thinking that you actually did something with the accords instead of just talking about it for two scenes. This movie talks big about tackling the consequences of the big 3rd act destruction and then does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING with it aside from ONE conversation. I could have looked past the narrative problems it has, I could've looked past its villain, I could've looked past how this movie didn't have the slightest impact on the MCU, I could've forgiven the lack of emotion throughout 90% of the movie, I could've looked past the fact that this film made me hate almost all of the characters in it, I could've looked past almost all the problems, but I cannot forgive a movie that seemed to just insult my intelligence at every moment.

* DoctorSleep: Starting from just a trailer, there's a scene where Scott Lang is goading Hope into showing him how to punch. Hope responds by punching him right in the face. You don't have to picture that moment with the genders reversed, because that exact same thing happened in the comics when Hank Pym smacked his wife. By playing a woman bashing a man as a punchline when the opposite is considered abhorrent just shows how low Marvel Studios is willing to sink for the sake of a joke. No wonder they lost a comedic craftsman like Edgar Wright. By the time the movie is released, it only gets worse with Hope ultimately ending up with Scott in the end. Iron Man had Tony and Pepper take things slow. Thor, Captain America and The Incredible Hulk ended with the heroes not getting with their love interests due to their overwhelming responsibilities. Ant-Man ends with Scott falling for the woman who attacked him simply because she's there. Way to speak out against domestic violence.

Loki was sympathetic in Thor, but here he gets the {{Narm}}iest of lines, and comes off like a whiny jerkass. The Black Widow/Hawkeye subplot makes no sense, as it isn't elaborated upon in future installments, there are some moments which serve no purpose to the plot, and the conclusion was far from satisfying.

* Case: The part where Cap and Widow are trapped in a bunker, a missile heads toward them, and... they dive out of the way. The movie as a whole has a lot of "heroes are surrounded on all sides, but get away" moments going on, even by [=MCU=] standards. Most of the time, though, it makes for fun action; it's stylized. For the bunker scene, style has nothing to do with it. The bad guys set up a trap, the trap works exactly as planned, there's no third party interfering with the trap in any way, and the heroes don't do anything clever. Obviously, we know the heroes won't get killed, but this is the only time in the entire [=MCU=] where this fact is blatantly taken for granted.

* Retloclive: For me, the first Captain America is a fun 40s era movie that Joe Johnston really knows how to get that era down after he did the Rocketeer movie. However, one thing that really bugs me about this movie was [[{{Montages}} condensing Cap's mission to take down the HYDRA bases into a brief montage]]. Was it too much to ask to spare just a couple more minutes to extend the destruction of the HYDRA facilities? The movie spends a great deal building up the hero to kick some major butt, and yet they completely skip over it just so we could get to the final battle quicker.

I think people just [[ToughActToFollow raised their expectations way too high.]] However, my moment is when Scarlet Witch brainwashes Bruce Banner. Seriously? [[IdiotBall Right beside a populated city with thousands of civilians? What was she thinking?]] How many people did she injure or even kill by doing that? She and Quicksilver could have just left him alone. Honestly, she comes off as [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic very unsympathetic to me]]; I can hardly blame Banner for trying to strangle her later. [[TearJerker Can you imagine how much undeserved guilt the guy is going through?]] As far as he knows, he's attacking a mind-manipulating murderer who coincidentally started the entire conflict in the first place.

* [=RedHudsonicus=]: Adding to the previous example, we have Operation Paperclip. Operation Paperclip was "the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) program in which over 1,500 German scientists, technicians, and engineers from Nazi Germany and other foreign countries were brought to the United States for employment in the aftermath of World War II." And Zola had cooperated with the SSR leading to the thwarting of Red Skull's plan. Given that he also managed to at least partially re-create the effects of the super soldier serum in [[spoiler: Bucky]], he'd be a prime candidate. Moreover, the film never establishes that it was Peggy Cater and/or Howard Stark specifically that recruited him -- he was already in SSR hands before SHIELD's formation.

!!!Iron Man 3
* Shadow200: Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie, and got my money's worth from it, but the fact that his long time arch-nemesis from the comics, The Mandarin, turns out to be nothing but a [[spoiler: washed up drug addict actor hired by the real BigBad]] really doesn't settle with me. All the promos and interviews suggested he'd be Tony Stark's greatest foe and when its revealed he's [[spoiler: drugged out of his mind and doesn't have a clue what's really going on]] irks me as I felt they wasted a perfectly good character and plot as their rivalry was based on technology vs magic and Advancement vs Tradition. Still enjoyed the movie but that part just bugs me.
* Jaydude1992: My issue is the final battle between the BigBad, and his minions, who all have MyBloodRunsHot style powers, and all of Tony's suits being controlled by Jarvis. You'd think this would be a [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome CMOA]], particularly if you saw this bit in the trailer, but no. TheWorfEffect is in full play as, rather than fight them at range with their repulsor rays, the suits get into punch-ups with the minions, whom the protagonists should know by now can give themselves body temperatures of around 3000 degrees celsius, and are frequently torn apart as a result. It really doesn't help that the earlier versions of the Iron Man armour were capable of taking on terrorist cells, squads of very similar armoured drones, and virtually everything the Chitauri could throw at them. The latest versions? [[BadassDecay They have trouble fighting men and women with superheated bodies]].

* Animeking1108: The movie had a bit of a problem with putting in comedy at inappropriate moments, but the moment that took the cake was Thor and Jane returning to Earth after [[spoiler: Loki seemingly dies]]. It was such a tear-jerking dramatic moment, and they immediately follow it up with Erik walking around without pants, and even making a crack at [[spoiler: Loki's]] expense. I get that Erik [[spoiler: hates Loki for the shit he pulled on him in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'']], but couldn't they have done that a little less comedic?

!!!Captain America: Winter Soldier
* RAZ: TheReveal that [[spoiler: HYDRA had rebuilt itself within SHIELD since its inception.]] I could buy it if there was a valid excuse for the twist, but the reason given for how it happened is beyond stupid. [[spoiler: The reason HYDRA is in control is all because the non-corrupt members like Peggy Carter and Howard Stark [[TooDumbToLive recruited Arnim Zola of their own free will into a high-ranking position which he exploited. The two of them completely ignoring his background with HYDRA in the past]].]] If that's supposed to be what's considered "good" writing, then I have no problem dropping these movies.

* Tropers/{{akanesarumara}}: My bone to pick with the [[spoiler:HYDRA reveal]] was that it felt like a cop-out. Up until then it felt like it was heading the thought-provoking way of adding a level of gray to SHIELD and the government and actually debating the question of how much secrecy and freedom will we give up for safety. But no of course they had to include the Nazis. Because remember, your own government would never go to such lengths.

!!!Guardians of the Galaxy
* [=TerrorToad=]: The freaking stupid 'Ooh Child' dance at the end. Ronan, who at this point has ultimate power, and needs only to drop his hammer to win, literally stands there for a full minute with his mouth hanging open while Starlord sings and dances around like an idiot instead of just killing him. It killed the mood and was just a bottom of the barrel joke. Any dignity the movie and Ronan might've had died there.

!!!Avengers: Age of Ultron
* Ninja857142: The movie was actually a pretty good, and underrated, in my opinion. I think people just [[ToughActToFollow raised their expectations way too high.]] However, my moment is when Scarlet Witch brainwashes Bruce Banner. Seriously? [[IdiotBall Right beside a populated city with thousands of civilians? What was she thinking?]] How many people did she injure or even kill by doing that? She and Quicksilver could have just left him alone. Honestly, she comes off as [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic very unsympathetic to me]]; I can hardly blame Banner for trying to strangle her later. [[TearJerker Can you imagine how much undeserved guilt the guy is going through?]] As far as he knows, he's attacking a mind-manipulating murderer who coincidentally started the entire conflict in the first place.

!!!Ant-Man
* DoctorSleep: Starting from just a trailer, there's a scene where Scott Lang is goading Hope into showing him how to punch. Hope responds by punching him right in the face. You don't have to picture that moment with the genders reversed, because that exact same thing happened in the comics when Hank Pym smacked his wife. By playing a woman bashing a man as a punchline when the opposite is considered abhorrent just shows how low Marvel Studios is willing to sink for the sake of a joke. No wonder they lost a comedic craftsman like Edgar Wright. By the time the movie is released, it only gets worse with Hope ultimately ending up with Scott in the end. Iron Man had Tony and Pepper take things slow. Thor, Captain America and The Incredible Hulk ended with the heroes not getting with their love interests due to their overwhelming responsibilities. Ant-Man ends with Scott falling for the woman who attacked him simply because she's there. Way to speak out against domestic violence.
