Usually when people comment about the movie being too much like Guardians, it's in regards of the tone, not simply because it takes place in space. In addition to the comedy, many design elements are particularly wacky, and look like they belong in a movie like Guardians of the Galaxy. Of course the movie lend itself to being a comedy when they hired Waititi, but hiring a director is not where the conception of the movie started.

Regarding the plot threads of Iron Man 2, I find it that, while many, they organically connect with each other and respectively make the movie move forward in their own way. A lot of plot threads of the movie wouldn't work if others were removed. I can concede the inclusion of S.H.I.E.L.D. wasn't necessary, but it didn't retract much for the movie either. Additionally, S.H.I.E.L.D. being pretty much anywhere became common currency in the MCU.

As for Iron Man 3, Killian is in no way the worst MCU villain. He was interesting both as a contrast of the usual superhero movie villain, and as a cunning mastermind. Tony's PTSD was extremely believable, from its portrayal (the movie has gotten praise from psychological organizations for it, after all) down to the reason why he suffers it.

While both Clint and Scott had good intentions, it's baffling how childish and offended they acted for being legitimately arrested, considering they knew what they were going to get into. It's evident Clint was referencing Rhodey's injuries, he did make the particular mention of a broken back.

Additionally, neither gave Tony flak because he supposedly wouldn't listen to Cap. Scott and Clint would've made some kind of reference to that instead of commenting on how Tony supposedly betrayed them.

At this point, Wanda is pretty much a spoiled brat. While Tony should've told her she was in house arrest, she needs to understand she was lucky that was the only punishment she was getting. All she had to do is to stay in a giantic complex being provided all commodities she needed without paying a dime for a while until things would blow over. She could even have been legitimately arrested as soon as she stepped outside of the New Avengers Facility considering Tony mentioned she didn't have a visa. It was also particularly inconsiderate of her to act like it was unfair people could be afraid of her when she's the very same person that used her powers to unleash a ranging Hulk in a populated area as part of a petty revenge plot.
