1. Bruce Banner
I've always been annoyed that the actor for Bruce Banner has changed 3 times. Bruce Banner as a character is pretty boring anyway but I think Edward Norton did the best job in making him decent. Eric Bana's version was to depressing, and Mark Ruffalo who is the current version of the character doesn't really seem in it entirely partially because the writing just ignores the events from the other two Hulk movies as if they never happened.
2. The Villain's
Outside of Loki I think most of the villain's of the movies are very forgettable and the majority of them end up dying. Ronan the accuser, Whiplash, Malekith, and the Red Skull have all been underwhelming and most people probably can't really put a face to the names.
3. The Mandarin
The Mandarin is Iron Man's arch enemy and while I understand what Marvel was trying to do with the Trevor Slattery twist for most people it just didn't work. The Mandarin was marvel's chance to finally establish another good villain outside of Loki. The Mandarin for the first hour of the movie was scary he was making Tony Stark look stupid on live television and executing people. Once the twist was revealed Iron Man 3 was still good but it blew a chance to establish an iconic villain for later uses in the movies.
Yeah I definitely agree that the villains are a bit lackluster. Besides Loki of course. It seems the best opponents are the heroes themselves like in Civil War.
