I felt that the Daredevil TV show and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. post season 1 actually did those well. The way Simmons being teleported by the Stone was handled better than I thought it would. In Daredevil when Ben Urich or James Wesley got killed, it was both unexpected and tragic, but in retrospect made sense for the context and situations they were in. The movies have never been able to do either of these well. The Quicksilver one being the most recent example of this.

I hate to say it, but I think this has to do with the MCU not wanting to take a "dark turn". To handle some things like this you have to go dark, and take on a more serious approach to these things. The TV shows like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Daredevil are not limited to this but the movies are, so it's not surprising that the shows handle serious stuff infinitely better than the recent movies have. Marvel Studios should take these criticisms seriously for Phase 3, because with the more serious X-Men and DC movies coming competition could start in the "Cinematic Universes".
