Going back to Cap a little, I think Chris Evans performance as Steve Rogers / Captain America is phenomenal and just as much of a pillar of the MCU as RDJ's Tony Stark. I feel like we always know exactly what Cap is thinking and what he's going to do, but not because he's "just a goodie two shoes boy scout", but because of the performance and incredibly consistent writing and development we've seen from him in every appearance.

Cap 1 deserves a lot of credit for stewing on that character for the first half of the movie. Cap has emotional development throughout the MCU based on how he sees the world and how he sees himself, but the foundations of everything he is was set up in that movie and built upon from there. For being so early in the MCU, it's impressive they were able to nail that down so easily to set the tone going forward, when so many other movies fumble that kind of thing. Most studios would have ended up with a cheesy idealized version of what Cap is, similar to the million parody characters we see all over media, and I don't think that's what the MCU gave us.
