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?
If you need to invoke the Holocaust or Holocaust imagery (the way X-Men does) then you're pretentious.
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?
Not really, no.
And Winter Soldier was ashamed of Caps bright costume from Avengers 1.
His replacement suit still had color on it. Widow's is what she always has worn since the 70s and Falcon's made sense as a US Air Force Armor.
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.

Please, if Magneto ever used the egg joke you'd eat it up. And then there was that bit where he made fun of Rogue's hair.
People just expect the MCU to sell out and make the villains the stars of the show instead of the heroes.
