Lifeless action is what you call the last twenty minutes of BvS. Punch Punch Punch...

YOU JUST DONT APPRECIATE ART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That type of art should be banned.

Marvels action scenes tend to be fairly inventive, or at least varied

I actually enjoyed this more than Black Panther and Homecoming.

Yeah this is a mystifying opinion to me

It seems obvious to me.

Things happen that aren't just punching and kicking. Part of it is that most Marvel characters have much more limited (and weird) powers and personality flaws, which gives the creators much more to work with. The characters compliment each other. They work together (and clash against each other) in sometimes interesting ways. Many of them can't just punch and kick their way through a problem like Wonder Woman, Superman, and Aquaman can.

Even the punchy kicky guys in Marvel movies (Hulk and Thor) are limited in other ways, so the filmmakers are able to be more creative. They can be given problems that their strength can't used on.

Contrast the scene of Ironman and company trying to disarm Thanos in the last Avengers movie with the finales of BvS or Justice League. There is no comparison. Those DC movies don't have an ounce of creativity or storytelling in the fight scenes (except that one excellent scene where Batman fights some random thugs, which seems like its from another, much better movie). The characters could be swapped around and it would make no difference. There is no sense of place either. Its just a CG fighting game arena.

Even the scenery has a story in that Avengers scene. The backgrounds in both Justice League and BvS are terribly generic backdrops with walls that only exist to collapse when someone is punched into them.

Thats not so hard. Black Pantha remains as one of the worst movie moments of the year.

There is a difference between compelling characters and compelling/cinematic action sequences. Outside of Ant Man I have a hard time recalling specifics of many battles in the Marvel movies. They make sense in the context of the film and few are offensively bad, but none are memorable or evolutionary.
