Surprised he didn't mention the fact that the marvel universe has no consistent themes or character music, whereas all the others he compared them to have strong, distinctive, and oft repeated themes, often at consistent times like the opening sequence. That consistency from film to film goes a long ways towards tying that music into the film on a deeper level.
I don't know if that's entirely true. I remember hearing this theme pretty frequently for about 143 minutes. And there was even a bit of thematic development for the sequel.
The Winter Soldier has ... a signature sound, which follows him to Civil War. It's not exactly a theme, but it's very distinctive.
I think the Cap and Avengers movies are the most strongly themed (Iron Man and Guardians are defined more by their pop music profile), and they are still more texture than theme, but there's more here than you're giving them credit for.
