1. Explaining why Tony rebuilt his suits.

2. Explaining why the Avengers are now working together.

3. Explaining why Steve isn’t still looking for Bucky.

4. Giving Falcon more than a minute of screen time.

5. Developing the father-daughter thing they had going with Fury and Nat.

6. Showing Steve and Tony actually building up a friendship so Civil War will at least have a smidgen of emotional impact.

7. Spending more than a minute on why Tony and Bruce thought Ultron was a good idea (and why they have apparently never seen a sci-fi movie)

8. Having Tony get to talk to the Vision about Jarvis.

9. Vision/Scarlet Witch 

10. A Natasha backstory going into her being forced to kill as a child/losing her identity, anything but “I can’t have babies so I’m a monster!” 

11. Explaining the media reaction to all this. (We hear they want Bruce arrested, but how do the people feel about the Avengers working without Shield? How is the world responding without Shield? 

12. Natasha picking up Mjolnir (don’t tease it and not carry through, Joss). 

13. Basically, any scene showing any continuity with Phase 2. 

14. Who am I kidding? Basically any other scene. A training sequence. 20 minutes of Falcon baking cookies. An explanation of how Hulk’s pants work. An hour of all of them playing with Clint’s kids. Anything would have been better. 

I’m down for the 20 minutes of Falcon baking cookies suggestion, personally.

You know Sam doesn’t stint on the chocolate chips.

an explanation of how Hulk’s pants work
yes

So, 1. Tony’s need to set things right overriding the promises he’s made that moved him to make one suit and Jarvis controlled robots?

2. Routing the remains of HYDRA and wrapping up the hunt for Loki’s scepter?

3. Fair point, but Cap rarely has a one track mind.

4.  Fair, though he didn’t have much to add in and explicitly said as much.

5.  Not blatant, but still present

6.  A relationship is about compromise and struggle, not just hugs and kisses.  Tony and Steve butt heads a lot in AoU, and ended up being closer than at the beginning.  Just look at their interactions at the end.

7.  Iron Man 3 + Banner’s preference for calm

8.  Again, this happened.  Not as much as it could have, but it happened.

9.  Fair.

10.  Nat doesn’t call herself a monster because she can’t have children.  She calls herself a monster for the very reason listed; she was made to kill without remorse or care.  Sterilization was a graduation, but that’s not what made her a monster, her acceptance of the nature of her work is.

11. SHIELD was not public knowledge.  If you want reactions to the Avengers watch Agents of SHIELD, Daredevil, Avengers, AoU, it’s all there but not at the forefront.  Those that are directly helped are grateful, those on the sidelines are generally pissed.

12.  Would have been a nice gag, but not necessary.  It wouldn’t have added anything to her character and given her history both shown and implied would not have made sense.

13.  Were we watching the same movie?  There are connections to Cap 2, Thor 2, Ironman 3, Guardians, Agents of SHIELD, as well as hints towards Black Panther and other upcoming films.

14.  Blooper reel please.

The romance between Bruce and Nat wasn’t necessary, I’ll agree with that.  It wasn’t without purpose though.  It gave both characters room to grow and experience something that has traditionally been denied to them.  It could have been done better, or avoided entirely, but it shouldn’t just be tossed aside because it’s a romance.
