Sort of the reverse of the other thread. What are some things that happened in comic book movies that you loved that you wish they'd have done differently or excluded altogether?
The Dark Knight: Batman killing dogs. I wish he'd have gone the Violent Marv route and just found a way to subdue them.
Man of Steel: Clark letting his father die. The scene is incredibly well-acted and tear-jerking, but I wish they'd have found another way for Jonathan to die. That scene just bothers me.
The Avengers: The beginning of the film just felt really awkward to me. People say that Avengers: AOU began abruptly, but I felt like the first one had an even more abrupt intro. It was just kinda like, wait... who are these guys? What the hell is even going on here?
Captain America: Something just didn't click with Hugo Weaving's Red Skull. I can't even say what it was, since he looked perfect and Weaving's performance was decent. I don't know. The Skull has always been Cap's archenemy and the fact that no one seems to care if we ever see him again seems like an indicator that he wasn't a very memorable bad guy.
Captain America TWS: I know Marvel does this thing sometimes where they introduce characters and don't have them do much, only to have them play a bigger role later. But I feel like that approach with Sharon Carter was a mistake. She barely registers in the film because so much screentime was eaten up by other actors. And that's okay when it's the Falcon or Black Widow. But I really didn't need to see more Maria Hill. Most of her scenes could have been given to Sharon to make her character more interesting.
Spider-Man: Willem Defoe delivered a pretty hammy performance in this movie. On one hand, I think it worked because of the tone they were going for. But on the other hand, Defoe can play a downright vicious bad guy when he's allowed to. It almost feels like a missed opportunity. He could have given us a truly terrifying Goblin if he was allowed to. Also, the Goblin costume just looks worse and worse with age. Especially given that Defoe almost looks like the Goblin in real life. I've always felt that they should have gone the Ultimate route and had his physical appearance change into that of the Goblin instead of giving him that stupid Power Ranger mask and suit.
