I personally never understood the complaint about "too much setup for future movies" in 'Age of Ultron'. The only one I can really agree with is the one involving the scene of Thor and Erik Selvig going to the pool, where Thor learns about the Mind gem on Vision's body planted by Ultron, and the montage of the other infinity stones. But even then it's small potatoes to the crap both BvS and the recent Mummy movie did. And when comparing that scene to the original version shot by Joss Whedon, they cut it down from being cringy to unnecessary but not detrimental.

And I love Civil War, but one can't deny that that film is setting up future films more so, with Black Panther, Spider-Man, the next (two) Avengers movies, and even 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' (which will take place directly after Civil War). I guess people didn't mind it in that movie because, apart from Vision bringing up the mystery of the Mind gem in his forehead that is keeping him alive to Wanda, there is no focus on any of the Infinity stones.
