Looking back on it, you have a point. My friend mentioned that the Ultron story in the comics got pretty sloppy

I personally prefer The Avengers over The Avengers: Age Of Ultron. It's not that I didn't like the movie. I just thought the first was better.
As for The Incredible Hulk. Not too keen on him in The Avengers. The fact that he can seemingly change from Banner to Hulk in a matter of seconds because he's 'always angry' kind of ruins the whole vibe for me. The phrase "Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry", implies that Bruce needs to become aggravated before any alterations take place. This (The Avengers) seemed to suggest otherwise and I wasn't keen on that.

To be fair The Incredible Hulk's ending suggested that he could control himself too.

It was the fact that I'd like to see Bruce get pushed around before he changes. Which you see in The Incredible Hulk. You know, the whole build up to him changing. I thought that was poorly executed in The Avenger's movies.
But The Avengers is set after TIH, right? So it makes sense that he can control himself and you don't need a process to get to that since he learned it in TIH.
Bruce has always maintained a level of control in the comics. It's usually in the earlier stories where he can't control it.
Yeah my point was it's just something I like seeing from Hulk. That was all.
True enough. That brief man-handling with the Hulk in the first Avenger film was alright, but I'd definitely like to see a full on bout between him and Thor, in the style of the Hulk-Buster fight in Age of Ultron.
I'm neutral on Spidey's inclusion because I'm not too interested in seeing another teen Peter Parker and I'm mixed about him being introduced in civil war etc.
It's not that I hate the character now, it's just I rather see the new blood be given a chance.

He's always been an integral character in that story though. In fact, not including him would be like....like missing a pinky finger.
I'm glad Sony and Marvel managed to work it out.

I wouldn't mind seeing characters from Agents of Shield make an appearance in CA: Civil War just to make the roster feel bigger and get that big screen validation.
Still not convinced about Spidey because the one in the story was a lot older, had a lot more to lose where this one feels like he just put on the tights.

Both Coulson and May had scenes (or a scene) filmed for Age of Ultron, but got cut out in the end product. So...maybe they'll be in the deleted scenes?
I doubt he'll be doing the major thing he does though in Civil War. To be honest, as much as I love Spidey, considering he's my favorite superhero of all time and I'm a ridiculous Spidey nerd, I still think Civil War could have done just fine without him. And I'm hoping Spidey's inclusion isn't shoehorned in there just because he plays a part in Civil War. I mean, it seems to me like they had to do some rewrites with the script because I don't think Spidey was attained until after they had already written it.
Still, I have faith in Marvel and they haven't made a down right bad movie so far. Sure some aren't as good as others, but I've yet to see a downright terrible MCU movie. They're always at least solid. Plus, the Captain America flicks are the best out of the solo films for me. It made me appreciate the character more. Was never the biggest Cap fan. Hell, those movies made Falcon awesome.
Well, set reports and leaks have repeatedly said that Spidey is part of the "geekiest, nerdiest fight scene on film" in Civil War, so you know....I think I'm just fine with that! 
And yes....Spider-Man is also my favorite. :3 In fact, I even have two signed variant (silver and gold both!) issues of the rebooted series signed by both Stan Lee and Todd McFarlane! XD
This has been an episode of Showing Off and Gloating. :3

I've always been more of a Marvel fan then a DC fan (though I do still like DC's heroes, and I will always have a special place in my heart for Batman and his supporting characters and villains)
It just has more of my favorite superheroes. (Wolverine, Spider-Man, Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, and Deadpool)
Subject of the MCU, I think The Incredible Hulk and Thor: The Dark World are their worse movies, not that they're terrible per say. But they're kinda mediocre.
Most of the other movies, are pretty good.
But the ones I personally think are REALLY great are Iron Man (the first one), Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Guardians of The Galaxy.
I have not seen Ant-Man yet, but I hear good things. And I don't watch the shows.
Other Marvel movies I like, outside the MCU, include
Most of the X-Men movies (Except Origins: Wolverine, and yes I even enjoy The Last Stand to an extent)
Spider-Man 2, The Amazing Spider-Man, and yeah I like The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Though I acknowledge the movie is flawed)
and Blade, and Blade II (Fact, I wanna see Blade, either rebooted, or a sequel, to be added to the MCU. I think it could help bridge out the MCU to the more supernatural/dark fantasy setting)

With Spider-Man and Punisher finally joining the MCU along with Daredevil, now I only need Ghost Rider and then my favorite Marvel characters will finally all be together.
Deadpool is at least getting an R rated movie which I'm also happy for that even though it's not in the MCU.

Stop. Those three are all you need. Fox isn't going to give up GR anytime soon.
Deadpool might be a success, but that'd the one shining jewel amongst the sea of Fox crap currently floating around in their film archives.
Now, if only they'd let Tommy Wiseau direct FF2...

Then we'd be laughing at it intentionally. Kind of.
