The Avengers premiered in 2012 and was an instant game-changer for the superhero genre. The ambitious project became the blueprint for other so-called cinematic universes and spawned three sequels, culminating (so far) in 2019’s mega-event Avengers: Endgame.

Almost everyone loves these films and considers them some of the best comic book movies ever. However, some people are not as enthusiastic about them. In fact, some actively dislike them, whether because of the plot, thinly constructed characters, mediocre villains, or all of the above. They take to Reddit to voice their complaints, concerns, and unpopular opinions about the franchise.

9 The Avengers Jokes Were Corny

The Avengers received praise for its successful combination of action and humor, delivering a lighthearted and entertaining viewing experience. Not everyone was a fan of the jokes, though. In a thread discussing how audiences voted The Avengers 2012’s most overrated movie, Redditor mrplow8 states that the film was overhyped. “A lot of the jokes were corny.”

However, some fans may disagree with this as the lighthearted tone is one of the reasons why the MCU reigns supreme, and most general audiences appreciate the jokes. Even if some of them are a tad silly, the majority of fans still love them because they provide some much-needed comic relief from all the high intense drama.

8 Age Of Ultron Is Amazing!

Overall, especially when comparing it to its predecessor and successors, Avengers: Age of Ultron is disappointing. It’s not a bad movie per se, but it failed to live up to the expectations set up by the first one. At least, that seems to be the consensus, although some fans couldn’t disagree more.

Case in point, a Reddit thread by 007kryptonian claiming that Age of Ultron is a great movie. “It was fun but also had dark moments,” the user says, while also noting that “Ultron was really cool” and “the action was great.” Most fans disagree, explaining that the movie ignored the events of Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. All in all, 007kryptonian seems to be fighting a losing battle.

7 No One Can Explain Why Age Of Ultron Is Bad

On the other hand, some fans think AoU was plain weird. In a thread devoted to the subject, Reddit user tigolebities claims that the movie left them underwhelmed, and they can’t figure out why. Other commentators agree, and each one gives a different explanation for their dislike of the film.

A user who has since deleted their profile states that the movie “was too rushed and some things felt forced.” OP tigolebities adds that “the action was hard to follow.” And user p-longstocking doesn’t hold back, saying that AoU has “underwhelming dialogue and writing” and “bad editing.” Ironically, all their arguments directly contradict the thread’s original thesis because they indeed could tell exactly why the movie is not good.

6 Age Of Ultron Is The Most Important Movie In The MCU

The Infinity Saga ended with the Avengers’ victory in the battle against Thanos. It was the culmination of ten years of worldbuilding and arguably the most satisfying pay-off in movie history. Every movie in the MCU was vital for the Saga’s success, and it’s nearly impossible to declare one more relevant than any other.

Redditor the_funky_Gbone gives it a shot and declares Age of Ultron the most crucial movie in the MCU. The user argues that the film sets up most of the Saga’s conflicts, including Civil War, Ragnarok, Hawkeye’s family history, and Wakanda. Considering many fans think of AoU as one of the MCU’s most forgettable entries, this take is controversial for sure. Furthermore, declaring AoU the most relevant film in the MCU is a blatant disregard for other, equally meaningful movies like Civil War and both Guardians of the Galaxy entries.

5 Infinity War Is Overrated

The consensus among fans is that Infinity War is the best Avengers movie. Nearly every of the film’s elements received praise; using Thanos as the story’s focal point and the unforgettable, jaw-dropping ending were particularly acclaimed.

However, even the most celebrated movies have their detractors, and Infinity War is no exception. This Reddit user thought the ending was overrated and created a thread to voice their opinion. “The ending just felt cheap,” they say, declaring the overall film was “mediocre.” The sheer amount of downvotes on this take is proof of how controversial it is. And while everyone is entitled to their opinion, to claim IW is mediocre is objectively wrong.

4 Infinity War’s Battle Of Wakanda Is Lazy

The climactic fights at the end of Infinity War are among some of the best battles in the MCU. However, one that isn’t favored as much as is the Battle of Wakanda. In a thread discussing unpopular takes about Infinity War, Reddit user SimonShepherd doesn’t hold back. They says that “the Battle of Wakanda is lazily designed compared to the Battle of Titan,” adding that Wanda and Thor get upstaged by Iron Man and Doctor Strange and that the imbalance between both conflicts is jarring.

Indeed, the Battle of Titan is arguably the MCU’s best and most creative. However, disregarding the clash in Wakanda means ignoring some of the most meaningful events in the entire movie, like Vision’s death and the Snap.

3 Endgame Was Too Predictable

Time travel in movies will always be a controversial matter. Many fans believe that it removes all stakes from any given story because the characters can go back in time and undo their mistakes. Indeed, many fans across multiple Reddit threads claim that Endgame was a weak effort that got a pass because of fan service and nostalgia, with Reddit user pigoath takes a harsher approach with their criticism of the movie. “Avengers: Endgame sucks,”

In all fairness, audiences correctly guessed that the Quantum Realm would be the key to solving the Snap, but no one could’ve anticipated that Thanos would die in the first twenty minutes of the movie or that Cap would return to the 1940s. Endgame was nothing if not surprising.

2 Endgame Was Full Of Plot Holes

The MCU has many flaws that fans choose to ignore. However, Endgame brought out the critical side in many audience members, who quickly pointed out the many plot holes in the film’s story. User TheIncredibleHarry created an entire Reddit thread to point out some of Endgame’s most glaring disregards for plot and continuity.

“How was Ant-Man growing and shrinking during the final battle if he ran out of Pym Particles?” he asks. “How does Thanos with no gauntlet best Thor, Cap with Thor’s hammer, and Iron Man all at once?” To answer his questions, Hope probably got more Pym Particles from the recently recovered Hank. As for Thanos, he might’ve been Gauntlet-less, but he was still in peak physical condition, and the three heroes had just come back from the time heist and survived an explosion.

1 Endgame Is The Worst Avengers Movie

In many ways, Endgame was a victory lap, ten years in the making. It delivered on nearly every front, even if it did rely too much upon fan service. However, two plots in the movie bothered many: Professor Hulk and overweight Thor. Some fans felt Endgame reduced both characters to walking jokes, depriving them of their evolution throughout the Infinity Saga.

“Endgame doesn’t do Thor or Hulk justice, and that brings it down for me,” says Reddit user IntrepidHovercraft4 before declaring it the worst Avengers movie. Not many commentators share his opinion, and some explain that Banner’s whole arc throughout the Infinity Saga led him to become Professor Hulk. Still, some agree that the transformation should’ve occurred on-screen. As for Thor, the movie took the time to explore his depression after everything he lost throughout multiple films, and he ends the story in a much better place than before.
