A lot of the reason why Bendis' Avengers didn't work for me had to do with the damaging of charcters and the roster chosen. I object to Wolverine being an Avenger, and even moreso after the X-Men moved to the west coast. Dr. Strange felt wrong as well (similar to when Mr. Fantastic was on the Avengers - I will always associate him with another team). Characters like the Sentry, Echo, Protector, and Jewel do nothing for me. Characters I genuinely liked (like Spider-man, Spider Woman, Hawkeye, Mockingbird, Wonder Man, Norman Osborn, the Hood) were so mishandled that I grew to dislike them. Other characters I liked (Wanda, the Vision, the Wasp) were ruined or killed. In my opinion, the only character who has benefited from Bendis' tenure is Luke Cage.
I have to admit I like in general how he treats Tony Stark though
