Characters don't have agency. We criticize characters because characters are one of the key elements of storytelling. And when they're used badly, they're one of the elements that make storytelling bad. Often that includes writing other characters badly in order to support the anointed creator's favorite. For example, in Bones, giving Booth the "I told you so" moment required writing Brennan as ignorant of the basics of her own field. Jar Jar Binks is a good sign we're going to get a plot resolution by pratfall. And let's not talk about how Wesley Crusher ended up having more character development beats with anyone but his mother.

What should have happened? IMO pick a better story than Civil War for the third CAPTAIN AMERICA movie. Cast an actor for Uncle Ben for the Spider-Man movie. (And it looks like the next Spider-Man movie will have more Tony-worship.) Cut the unnecessary conversation about Tony Stark's pants to make room for a critically missing Valkyrie moment.
