How to address terrible writing? Lets try a new approach. Instead of going after the writer I will address the characters directly.
Hank - You know why Reed Richards is considered smarter than you? Because he would have done some recon before charging into battle. There is a fine line between brave and stupid and you Hank, just crossed it.
Also, explain to me how Hank can give himself a clean slate with that chronal-ray? By making himself younger? By making himself forget that he beat his wife? Thats your idea of a "clean slate"?
Unspoken guy - A laser sword is not a "genetic change" or natural ability at all. It is a device. A piece of technology. Could you duplicate the ability of say, the Infinity Gauntlet or the Cosmic Cube, if they were holding it?
Cassie - If you are going to shrink down and ride an arrow perhaps you should not grip the blade of the arrow. If he had hit something you probably would have lost all your fingers.
Amadeus - Excuse me? Did you say you used the chronal ray to put everyone back the way they were? How did that work? They weren't made younger, they were de-evolved. That's a whole different and far more complex thing. When you used it on the Unspoken it just made him an old Unspoken, it didn't evolve him into giving up. The chronal ray should have just made them old neanderthals.
Also, since when did being smart give you the abilities of Bullseye? That trick with the penny isn't a matter of intelligence, its also largely a matter of hand eye coordination. Who are you anyway Amadeus Cho? Your origin is that you are supposedly the seventh smartest person based on an online trivia quiz you took, but suddenly you are able to take out several large armored battle droids with a penny. Whats that about?

Story: 1 - Poor
Art: 2 - Average

Pym reversed the chronal ray to take the devolved heroes back to the moment just before they were devolved. Other than that, you make some good points, but perhaps you are being too strictly logical. You have to assume that Cassie slid down the arrow before it hit the ship. You have to assume Amadeus saw a flaw in the robots. Not a great arc, but not the worst. I did think the art was nice.
The fact you have to assume so much is a sign of bad writing.
I believe putting forth dozens of silly things that are only borderline rational is the very definition of comic-booky. Now I actually tend to agree with you. I like tend to like comics that have matured away from that style of super-wacky, reason-defying comic action. I like comics that put forth believable characters with understandable motivations and make them hold true to themselves. But that is not what Mighty Avengers is about. Mighty Avengers appears to be a deliberate throwback to high action, low realism comics. Characters are meant to be fun, not consistent or emotionally real. Reading the comic with that frame of mind helped me enjoy these a lot more. Still not sure if I want to keep going, but at least I get it now. It is not a lack of quality, but a stylistic choice.
