Quicksilver was just dealing with some security guards.
And then in Apocalypse QS similarly showed no fear. This is what I mean by making Flash incompetent, which is what happens when you give your characters that level of power and your writing isn't good enough to explain why they can't wrap things up easily.
If they'd made Flash NOT be faster than the naked eye (he can only go Mach 1 or something) and have him not be able to keep up his speed for long (it drains his strength) then we'd have a better explanation.
]It was still a stupid and unnecessary thing for him to do and again they had to find a cheap way of him losing. The others couldn't do anything against him so Quicksilver had to just beat himself.
And it showed more inventiveness than Apocalypse somehow being able to think fast enough to trap QS's foot in sand.
That's not what you said though. You didn't say how they were beaten. You said it was lazy for them to be all powerful from the beginning.
Bit of both. Not overpower them AND think of a better way to win than "Superman scares him". I mean really, after all the inventive ways the MCU pulled off you think DC could think of something.
Hela was all powerful from the very beginning. Thanos will also be all powerful from the very beginning. Which means you must find that lazy if you think it would have been lazy if Ultron were done the same way as those two.
If Thor defeated Hela in some generic way, like his "inner power" being enough, I would've complained. But he thought of something different.
I'll reserve judgement on Thanos til later.
Which they've done with the others like Iron Man and Thor but without making them look useless. With what little he has actually provided in the action scenes, he may as well not even be there.
What do you want, for Cap to be able to smash Ultron to bits all on his own?
Wonder Woman wasn't a match for Doomsday in the same way Superman wasn't. Strong enough to hold their own to an extent but not for a prolonged period.
She did more damage to him than Superman did!
A normal Kryptonian has been shown to be far above the likes of Wonder Woman and Steppenwolf.
Inconsistent power levels. WW can damage Doomsday but can't damage Superman? She can't damage Steppenwolf either?
Having a villain more powerful than Superman wouldn't have really fit with what they were trying to do in the movie which was to hype Superman up and his return. Basically the same kind of thing they did with DBZ and them waiting for Goku to show up.
So lazy writing and a mishandling of the JL, which is supposed to be more than "Stand-ins for Superman".
In the sequel they'll have a villain more powerful than Superman but it wasn't required for this one. It would be like them bringing Like Skywalker back only for him to get stomped by Kylo Ren, it just wouldn't have been right.
A New Hope had Vader kill Kenobi.
