    Actually, that movie was more of an allegory for the American exercise of power and its penchant to act unilaterally (and potentially irresponsibly) outside its own borders, all in the name of saving others. Without the legal MacGuffin of the Sokovian Accords there is no "civil war". So it really all comes down to what those accords are attempting to do, which is to place operational constraints on the Avengers and put a multi-national committee in charge of them. It had nothing to do with heroism or justice, but international arms control. The reason this put Tony at odds with Steve is because the idea of external restraint (even if that meant sacrificing freedom at the altar of security) aligned with Tony's all-consuming guilt. Tony and Steve did not disagree about heroism or what needed to be done in a crisis. They disagreed over who should have control over their powers.

    All I can say is "I Am Iron Man" vs "You can't risk your secret saving a bunch of kids on a bus". I think that showed the difference in the mentality of the 2 universes.
    I will say, I still wish the post teaser from Spider-man far from home had ended with Mysterio saying his name is P... (white noise) and not give away his full name to everyone. would really have setup the spiderman dynamic we grew up with, where spiderman was hated (mostly due to Daily Bugle) but peter was basically an anonymous person.

    Honestly I don’t even think the shared universe thing is a huge factor. Not nearly as big as the bad writing. Why is Superman an aloof killer? Why did Suicide Squad need two helicopter crash sequences?  Even Aquaman, the highest grossing DCEU film so far, had submarine-sized plot holes. It shouldn’t be this hard.

    Well, we have seen significant departures from the "hyper-realism" approach in more recent DC movies, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Shazam!  I think they might be saving it for Bat-movies from now on, where it fits better. That would be fine with me.

    They had a good actor IMO. But the character as written was probably the worst implemented concept since TV went to color. 
     
    Also my opinion....
