Why are the characters so flat and one dimensional in the MCU?

Because the movies themselves are pretty one-dimensional, and make no bones about being so. They're not trying to be treatises on postwar trauma or the endless struggle between man and beast, they're trying to be superhero movies.

They are TOYS.

But Anon

If they go through serious struggles

and spend time developing as characters

THEN HOW WILL THEY QUIP

Steve, at least, had an inability to settle down and a fear of what he'd do with his life if the fight was ever actually won. It's a neat conflict for him.

vietnam vets get ptsd from fighting in fucking jungle horrors. modern soldiers get ptsd from the noise of their own explosions, because we've become such pusses
but WW2 vets? shit dude, nothing bothered them.

ww2 left many vets with ptsd that almost never talked about it

because it's hard to do a cool action movie where someone spends all their time being an emotional wreck

If you want a movie about someone in a colorful costume who is an emotional wreck, maybe go watch Super

Thank God for Fox's X-Men movies where characters can actually go through development.

Thank god for this character development. It's what I like to see.

Steve has PTSD but his generation was known for not talking about it and shutting down, I had a Grandpa and Gruncle who were in WWII and both didn't like to talk about it.

But they touch on Steve's PTSD in Winter Soldier, heck Falcon is a guy who works wirh soldiers woth PTSD and he invited Steve to talk to him in one of his meetings. Also in Age of Ultron they bring it back when he's having that vision and when he gets uncomfortable in Clint's farm.

Anon, he said "TRYING" to be superhero movies. Learn reading comprehension.

The Toy Story characters weren't this flat and one dimensional.
