Strange complaints. This is how the MCU version has always been. When he went hand to hand combat vs Black Panther he held his own for a little while but he’s never been that kind of fighter in the MCU

I don't mind the MCU take on it. In the comics his fighting prowess was usually defined by "trained in hand to hand combat by Captain America." That didn't mean as much over the years when they applied that line to tons of people. One thing the MCU could have taken from the comics is that I think his outfit had at least some protective features in the comics which made the fact that he could survive battle scenes with hyper powered villains at least a little more belivable.
