Winter Soldier appealed to people who wanted something "grounded" with little to no superhero stuff whatsoever. But then the Helicarriers and the Nazi AI came in and messed that all up for them which is why none of them can say it's "perfect".
And no, Magneto's jibes are no more well timed than any MCU villain jokes.
How is it pretentious? Is it because the MCU is so dry on dramatic substance that you think that more than 2 minutes of character's talking on screen to each other about themes of the film is now pretentious? Nah, Im glad X-Men films (and non-MCU CBMs) dont stoop to their level and replace raw storytelling with silly side characters, a necessary quota of comedy and making a mockery of the villains.
So Winter Soldier is not more grounded than a film showing a 5000 year old mutant able to survive and resserect from deep in the ground that can mentally connect to television/satellite signals? And Winter Soldier was ashamed of Caps bright costume from Avengers 1. The whole roster of character's all wear dark black leathery costumes, I dont see you complaining about that.
Magnetos lines are actually funny and appropriately timed.
"Wolverine, who ever goes into the dam has to know how to operate the spillway mechanism. What do you intend to do; scratch it with your claws"
Ultrons were unfunny that dont come close to being memorable/quotable as the one above.
