Exactly. From the very first time we meet Peter Quill grownup, he's dancing to "Come and Get Your Love" right through a cave full of dangerous little rodent-like aliens.

To me it's odd to have people say they don't like things like that for one major reason. We always ask for new and interesting characters and then when we get one who does something new we dismiss it and ask for it to be done in a traditional way. I for one, really really really really really appreciate that they followed through with the character to do the dance off, and the execution of it. I loved Ronan's reaction, I loved that Quill made the huge sacrifice right after. All of it. I can't say enough that I find the scene to be refreshingly brilliant.

Again, exactly. Not to mention Marvel Studio has been busting its chops to come up with creative alternatives to just simply having a big climatic fight.
In Guardians, trying to fight Ronan is repeatedly proven futile, because he's just too powerful. He needed to outwitted and the killing blown ended up having to come from an Infinity Stone.
In The Winter Soldier, sure, they had a big final fight, but the true victory of the film is Steve bringing Bucky back to his senses with unconditional brotherly love.
In Ant-Man, the hero never actually beats Cross in that fight, he just takes advantage of the technologies drawbacks to condemn them both to the Quantum Realm.
Doctor Strange: "Dormammu, I've come to bargain!" Strange wins by annoying his enemy into submission.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: The big fight only becomes necessary when the Sovereign wreak their Plan 1, but even then its just another distraction to keep Ego busy while Groot blows up his brain. ...I'm disturbed that's not the oddest sentence I've ever typed.
Spider-Man: Homecoming: Spider-Man only ruins Vulture's plans. The only reason Toomes ends up getting arrested is his own desperation/recklessness when he tries taking off bearing heavy cargo with a damaged suit. He could probably have just flown away again just fine had he not gone for the gold again.
And I'm sure Thor: Ragnarok will have a clever take on defeating horned Cate Blanchett.
