I can see his point, but I thought that was also a major part of the story to have Cap thrown into this espionage heavy film, only for him along with the audience to grown more frustrated with SHIELD, Hydra, and all of the secrecy and super weapons and brainwashed best friend hitmen. To me Cap in the end going to the museum to put back on his original WW2 costume spoke volumes about his character and how his values do not have to be put aside to do what's right in the 21st Century.

Actually, as far as straight up espionage films go, I still hope to see an actual Black Widow movie someday. The lack of one so far has been a huge misstep for the MCU.

The balance of humor was more good than bad, and the jokes were more hit than miss. And there were some misses, just like in GOTG2 and Homecoming, and in this movie especially for people who don't care for out of place slapstick or Jeff Goldblum's "smart humor" (I love the actor but some people think everything he says is automatically funny and laugh at his jokes when they aren't even actually being told).

But I think with humor it helps to keep the movies light-hearted, especially given without the humor we'd have too much drama. Happens in the comics, too. The Hulk is the Jekyll and Hyde monster story turned up to 11, and if you don't joke around with the Hulk you spend way too much time focusing on Bruce Banner living an endless nightmare of being trapped as a rampaging monster being hunted by the military or worse. Even a bleak movie like Logan had some good humor, too, but as long as it doesn't overtake all of the drama it's good to have it in each movie.

Also no fights between DC and Marvel, or Fox Marvel and Marvel Studios Marvel, everyone does their own thing that works for them. The MCU has just found that they like strong humor in their movies.

Anyway, Black Panther won't be nearly as many jokes, and I'm pretty sure the laughing will die down quite a bit even more once Thanos reaches Earth in the next movie.
