If it were up to me, this is how the MCU would have played out:

Avengers 1: Coulson dies, and stays dead.

IM3: Pepper either doesn't fall off of the rig at the end, or Tony does catch her, but Killian purposefully causes her to fall anyway, which would have made her comeback actually effective. Either way, she still survives.

Thor 2: Loki really dies, but the after-credits scene shows Thanos and his minions (maybe Chitauri?, or Krull?) arriving on Svartalfheim, and digging up Loki's body to ressurect him. Then in the after-credits scene of Thor: Ragnarok, we see alive Loki again, as a set-up for Avengers: Inifinity War.

Yeah yeah i know, Marvel would never really kill Loki because everyone loves him, but this was what i was expecting.

Also, Malekith survives, and escapes.

Cap 2: I'm actually ok with Nick Fury surviving, since they did use that to service his character arc, and it was actually a pretty effective twist. Again, if they had just stuck to their guns with some of the other deaths, i would have been ok with a switcheroo here and there.

GotG: Groot dies, but after the battle, when Rocket was cradling that last twig, someone tells him that maybe there's a way to bring him back, and they decide to plant Groot's remains in that flower pot, and tell Rocket, "only time will tell". Then in the after-credits scene they discover a new baby Groot beginning to sprout.

This would still have made his sacrifice meaningful, but not made his return so jarring.

And again, Ronan also survives, and escapes.

Avengers 2: Well, i already covered J.A.R.V.I.S. didn't i?. And Strucker remains alive in prison, until Infinity War.

So yeah, that's pretty much how i would've done it. Also, even though i'm really pschyced Civil War, i'm also very concerned about Baron Zemo. Because, given Marvel's track record with lesser-known villains, i highly doubt he'll make it through more than 1 film.

Which stinks, because i really wanna see Marvel start developing these damn guys before they run out of appealing characters.

Now i guess you could say that the casting is good, but, the same could've been said for Malekith, but if you look at what they actually did with him... yeah, you see what i mean.

P.S. Isn't it kinda funny that Marvel has now cast 2 actors who have played Nazi officers i.e. Thomas Krestchmann and Daniel Bruhl, to play HYDRA officers!?. Though i guess it makes sence, seeing as they're both totalitarian organizations, and one was (technically) even spawned from the other. Well, Krestchmann said Marvel was saving him for something special. And it's kinda weird that a news report by Christine Everhart said he was confirmed dead, almost as if they want to hide Strucker's survival.
