So just because a certain shot, scene, line or moment is similar to another, that doesn't mean that it's ripping that movie off. Also, pretty much all blockbusters nowadays follow a similar structure and pattern. So most action scenes

Besides, if i were to say something negative about SW in the film, it'd be that i think her character arc was pretty rushed. Which i think was far more irksome.

The film often had jokey dialogue at times were things should have been alot more emotionally heavy. Like the scene you mentioned, where she's convinced by Clint to become an avenger. I really wish that speech had been more dramatic. To show the gravity of the situation. Instead of just: ''Hey look, i'm fighting robots with a bow and arrow, and i'm pointing out how silly that is, because "self-aware"!. Hey you, stop being such a wuss, and fulfill your role of helping out during the climax'' Yeah, I am being a bit nitpicky. But I tend to find things I don't like easier to criticize. Knowing how much you love the character, I have to admit that in my personal opinion, Scarlet Witch is my least favorite of the Avengers.

She's supposed to be the dawn of powerful female characters, but not only have we already seen female superheroes, we've seen much better, more interesting ones than her. I'm pretty sure the only reason she's even there is so Vision has something to put his JARVIS into.

Another thing I don't like is how, even though she's the second most powerful character on the team, she's literally the only Avenger who is entirely dependant on superpowers. Hawkeye literally takes seconds to subdue her when she isn't using her powers, and even if Quicksilver was moving at normal speed he can still fight pretty good. It makes no sense for her to be scared of the battle during the climax, because she could basically kill all the Ultron bots by snapping her fingers. If you want another character to give her a pep talk, then they shouldn't have used Hawkeye, because what he does makes her look even more cowardly.
