That's because Mjolnir is teh awesomeness! 

Benedict Cumberbatch is Doctor Strange... action figure now with kung fu grip! 
 

It's a new continuity. One of the benefits of a new continuity is not having to explain the differences. The answer is simple: Now is when they wanted to do it.

Still, zero reason anything has to match 616.

Watching this again (thanks LL for posting), it really highlights exactly the difference in approach between Tony & Steve. Tony sees the big picture*, and engineers a technological plan to solve it (alien invasion).
 
*Brought forward no doubt due to the downfall of SHIELD, the only other organisation shown to stop an alien invasion. Also Tony help design the Insight helicarriers for this purpose. With SHIELD's downfall that left the Avengers as sole planetary security, which means Tony's Iron Legion was an Avengers backup and civilian safety plan. 
 
Cap doesn't have a plan (that has been shown so far) but believe they can triumph by using teamwork. This no doubt is from his background as a soldier in WW2. Today the Avengers are his unit. 
 
Both approaches have merit. Neither is entirely right, nor wrong. 

Ahh...oops. here you go

And with Superman now killed off in the movies, he can be on Supergirl.

Eh, the writing was OK. More weak decision making.

When Tony Stark reminded the assembled Avengers of that nuke launch during Age of Ultron, Jim Rhodes said explicitly that he had never heard of it before. And he was an Air Force colonel and, as Iron Patriot, a special American government operative. So yeah, almost certainly classified.

Yeah week off due to VP debate.

"Oh dear Lord, not the dirt people!"

Chemistry question:
 
What naturally occurring carbon-based rock/mineral has fullerenes? 
 
Answer:
 
I have a cross made out of it as a pendant. 

My circle used to refer to early seasons of Smallville as "Clark's Creek."

Times two.

Maybe Hollywood is, and they are omitting the tropes you like--like reoccurring villains
