Marvel movies are way less ambitious in terms of storytelling. And it benefits them. Character arcs are extremely simple and more often than not resemble plot devices. Near zero social commentary and philosophy. Most of their characters are not nearly as big and demanding as Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. Expectations are way lower. People just watch these movies and takes them for what they are.This film mase me appreciate the Avengers even more. Snyder and his writers couldn't make three superheroes feel organic to the film. Whedon did it with six. Sure, you could say there were solo films to help him, but Whedon took the harder road and reintroduced everyone in the first act. He made it so you would perfectly understand everything going on even if you never watched a Marvel film before.
This absolutely doesn't mean that BvS is better or worse than Avengers. It's different. Different tasks, different rules, different goals, different methods.
But as soon as they tried to enter more complex territory, we got Age of Ultron.
