Isn't Wakanda a secret, highly advanced, landlocked city state that the world at large does not know about? Didn't Klaw steal Vibranium from them and get caught and branded as a thief? Why would they let him hang around? Why were the police in SA police uniforms using conventional weapons? Etc…

Guardians was pretty self contained as far as the MCU goes. Gunn said that after he gave Whedon his re-write of the script Whedon told him he wanted "more James Gunn" in it, which is what happened.

Whedon has also consulted and done re-writes on those movies.

I think the dream sequence was going to be longer with an appearance from Loki, the execs told Whedon they couldn't get a deal signed with Hiddleston but had gotten Idris Elba on board, but Whedon asked Hiddleston directly, who agreed to make a short cameo. Whedon argued it would make sense for "dead" Loki to show up…

Basically it was Thor going to see the Norse versions of the Fates to ask what his dream meant. They would possess him and Selvig would ask questions.

That's a misinterpretation bordering on misrepresentation. Widow has been haunted by her past as a Russian assassin, that is her motivating trauma. She can't see herself as a hero (demurring from the hammer contest) but as a spy (Whedon has said this) and she tries to do good to make up for those past atrocities by…

I have no idea how this movie could be any more action heavy? Cut down the party scene everyone loves even more?

They would have been inchoate. Just spare moments after action set pieces and the quips contained within.

I thought there were some things on point, some things that are interesting arguments, and some things that are just plain misreadings/projections. The focus on her forced sterilization as the driving tragedy of her life, as opposed to say all the murders she carried out for an evil organization, falls into that…

I think you see that Grey Worm moves first and the rest follow.

I think it was intentionally shot to look like a video game with the camera just behind the protagonist.

There are likely competing motivations in a multi-billion dollar organization. I was always under the impression that the purpose was to keep Clark Gregg in the MCU and build out the universe, which includes the Hydra reveal which was probably planned for years and Civil War which was more of a long-term aspiration.

Likely just the overall story arc and trouble shooting here and there. Written by credits on shows with writing staffs don't mean that much. Generally the A, B, and C plots will be broken in the room or laid out ahead of time, the person with the written by credit will be assigned it, do a draft, bring it back to the…

I remember that first two guys but would need to rewatch to see if the she used it in the main sequence.

Multi-camera sitcoms have great schedules for the actors. Single camera is a different story. Also her husband is in NY.

Writer/Directors want creative freedom. A shared universe constrains that beyond even the usual meddling of studio execs. Building out that shared universe can lead to even more constraints. Whedon wants to make the best stand alone movie possible and having things need to payoff in multiple later movies could be…

As soon as it came out that AoU opened with a raid (on Hydra in Europe) I figured the tie in would be that Coulson fed the Avengers the intel.

In the comics a pre-Terrigenisis Inhuman already has superior physical abilities to Capt America. I believe those are the ones who aren't genetically diluted like Skye or Raina. Maybe Skye's physical prowess has improved, although that (or the general concept) has not been explicitly established in the MCU.

If he was a true sociopath I don't think he would have been as open to manipulation/loyal to Garrett.

She didn't use here abilities during the big sequence. Which on first blush seemed a little contrived but in the context of the constant action and inexperience/need to focus to precisely control makes more sense.
