4. Quicksilver's Death
Being a Hollywood lawyer must be a ridiculous job. The law is already a malleable, labyrinthine, hard-to-pin-down thing, but it must be even more difficult when you're tabling a discussion between two major film studios deciding who has the film rights to which superheroes, and how both of them can feature the fast one and the weird one, but only one of them is allowed to call them mutants. Since they're best known as both Avengers and X-Men characters Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are allowed to appear in both Days Of Future Past and Age Of Ultron, albeit with some restrictions. In the MCU, Aaron Taylor-Johnson playing the mutan... miracle speedster, wanting revenge on Tony Stark for his company providing the weapons that demolished his town and killed his parents. Despite a dodgy accent and bad highlights Taylor-Johnson wasn't a bad addition to the Avengers roster, and he's a proper superstar IRL. So it was rather shocking when Pietro Maximoff bit the bullet in the third act of Age Of Ultron.
