Also Civil War - Cap punches Iron Man, and Iron Man recoiled.

The same Iron Man that takes a tank round while airborne, has an uncontrolled landing, and stands back up with some scratches and scorch marks.

I loathe that film.

Since when has superhero logic ever held up to close inspection?

Yeah, that take is beyond ridiculous. If unrealistic fiction movies get you that riled up, stick to other genres. There are some great documentaries, too.

Both are kinda weird considering just being in a suit of armor isn't gonna save you from concussive forces turning your body into liquid inside that armor.

Just consider that Captain America is stronger than a tank shell.

He surely has stopped a tank shell with his shield at some point or another.

Also it's pretty common for the strength of super heroes to vary wildly depending on the script's need.
