Credit goes to those who made the resources (the Blu-ray case and various renders in the resources section). Captain America was put together by myself because dammit, there's not many good shots of Captain America for this film. Took me three weeks, still improvements needed here and there but, I just really wanted to complete this and stop crying.

I like the idea of the character panel on the back, the whole of the back could do with a little bit more work imo. The main issue I find with this is the front. You have gone for a collage look, but in this case i wouldnt say it works. This is because all the characters are in fighting positions but not fighting anyone in the design. Its makes no sense. Would work better having a collage of faces and stuff. Not fighting nothing. Alot of the colours looks very vibrant and off. The background is very low res and finally I dont understand why Ultron is on fire... I dont remember one point in the movie when he is on fire like that?...
Sorry if that seems harsh, I dont mean to be, just how i feel.

I really hate when people apologize. It's called criticism for a reason, there's no reason to say "Oh yeah I'm sorry if it hurt your feelings".
Personally, I thought that putting an Ultron Sentry in front of each Avenger looked really terrible. It added unnecessary clutter since the Ultron Sentries don't have actual renders, just cutouts from screenshots and those have a fixed ratio of 1920x1080.
The flaming Ultron is purely for style. I figured since the actual poster just sorta threw all the characters together, some of them in fighting poses without any actual ground, I could try a similar thing (hence the Vision centre).
If I can find some good Ultron Sentries, I'll retry it with the current renders I used since I tried them out before I had 150 layers exclusively for the front. It could look decent now.

@Arby Works To reiterate, I agree with what you say, but I feel justified in two of the points. Finding hi resolution images was 90% of the stress so I imagined there'd be visible issues with the front.
What do you think would work on the back?

@Arby Works the front I feel you should try something more like this...

As for the back, I like most of it. The screenshots and hero display bit is very creative. But I'm not sure about the very top. What I'm looking at? Is it ultron and vision? I think whatever it is could be made move obvious. Or replaced with something...

@Vince_1990 I specifically went for this design because I couldn't do that design. I'd rather not imitate anymore than I have from another design.
And yeah. It's Ultron's eyes and Vision's eyes. Vision eyes were featured in the third trailer. I was considering just using Ultron, but I used Vision and Ultron with Loki's Sceptre in the middle because they were both born from it.

@Arby Works Oh yes now that you said its more obvious. Is there a more zoomed out pic of Ultron and Vision you could use on the back instead. I think having their face instead of just eyes may look better

@Vince_1990 Most promotional material of the Vision obscures him heavily or just shows his eyes. His eyes are fully visible in the character thing in the middle so I thought I could try something cool. Although, maybe *just* Ultron would be better.
