Not sure how you could give BvS credit in any single area over the Avengers, or any marvel movie for that matter. What risks did it take other than trying to copy Marvel and cash in on their template for success?
All three movies were not great. Winter Soldier took a risk throwing a 70's spy thriller story line into a comic book movie and it worked. DoFP was able to spin incredible magic into their story line while keeping every moving part aligned AND giving fans closure on what was seen as a colossal fail of a third movie. Those were great movies.

Avengers took a recipe off the back of the package and played it safe. They did well and many people find them to be entertaining movies, myself included. But they were not great movies. So I lump them in with Batman V Superman, I was entertained during BvS, it did the job as a popcorn film, but failed as being a great movie. Avengers are the same for me. They were better than BvS, both of them, but the gap you are describing is not even close. I would say its closer to maybe Jurassic Park 1 and 2 (Although JP1 >>>> Avengers), the first one was really cool to see them actually make it work the way they did, and then the second one was basically #1 over again with a few new characters. /snooze
