QS didn't seem to do badly in Apocalypse in the same situation until he chose to stupidly attack Apocalypse head-on. This is what I mean by how super-speed is such a plot-breaking power you have to write the speedsters as idiots.
They probably should have done that though. That is what he is known for, being such a force that he's an intimidating figure even against the whole Avengers. They ruined that by starting off with a weak version of him and we already saw him get beaten easily in the movie by Iron Man and then and trouble with Captain America.
Having your bad guy be all-powerful right from the start just seems lazy to me...
They've done the opposite with Captain America in the Avengers movies by making him look too weak and useless. He's still a good character but in the action scenes Hawkeye has been more valuable than Captain America has.
They make up for that in other ways. And him being great in his own movies. There's more to a character than raw power, and if they're outmatched in power you make them interesting in other ways.
You're also misusing the overpowered label. Wonder Woman, Quicksilver, Flash and Superman have all been outmatched in the movies so they aren't overpowered. They're powerful but as long as there's been other characters who can match them or outmatch them then they aren't overpowered.
It is a problem when said character really shouldn't outmatch them (Steppenwolf).
