I mean, sure, you need firepower to deal with big threats, but it just leaves you to believably deal with one kind of threat. Look at all the HUGE guns that the team currently has: Thor (constantly jobbed so that other big guns can shine, or a villain can prove what a bas ass he is), Starband, Hyperion, Hulk, Doc Strange, Captain Universe, Rogue/Wonder Man, Blue Marvel (plus, what's with the gult of Superman analogues? Hyperion, Sentry, Blue Marvel, not to mention Wonder Man... How many do they need?), Photon, etc... Plus other big guns that haven't been used in a while, such as Sersi, Vision, Hercules, Ares, Gilgamesh, etc....
Not that I want them to go back to the Bendis days' of street level team. The teams need to be better dosed, better balanced, and, IMHO, a house clean up should be done. which brings me to my next controversial opinion: Writers should stop bringing in new members and recycle more older line-ups. Be creative, and bring back older members to fill the story need you have, instead of fitting it with your perfect piece.
