I like the way you think about skipping Ultron. It makes me wonder if some enterprising fans have strung together a Star Wars-Machete-type viewing of the MCU films.
I really liked IM3, too, because it was such a great team film with character growth, and had Pepper saving Tony's ass and getting her own revenge for her kidnapping and bodily violation. (In my head canon, Tony's taking care of her Extremis meant defusing the meltdown function so she could keep it and control it better than the previous immolatees.) But somehow Tony infected the MCU with proceduralitis and had his character development reset for each subsequent movie, and that shit is both boring and irritating to watch.
Thanks, Whedon, for leaving a flaming bag of dog poop on the Russos' doorstep, so they had to clean that up instead of giving us more time with the standout Winter Soldier characters.
On a shallow note, Evans' biceps in that helicopter scene are a thing of wonder and joy. ;)
