I kinda get what they were going for with a funny line of Magneto being paranoid and every threat becomes Hitler...
buuut... he's a holocaust survivor and it's not at all something that Carol would f***ing say.

Somehow they made Civil War 2 worse then the first event

I still don't think so.
It's not good, but I don't see them needing to do a full reboot of things just to fix what Civil War 2 broke, like Secret Invasion was for CW 1

These Marvel events always seems to disapoint who keeps buying them?

These Marvel events always seems to disappoint who keeps buying them? People concerned that the events totally reshape the Marvel landscape, I suppose. From what we're seeing, DC's pulling ahead in comics lately.

It fixed Hank Pym so it gets my points.

These Marvel events always seems to disapoint who keeps buying them? Can't the same thing be said for Big Two comics in general? That Marvel and DC have conditioned their audiences that it's a zero sum game--when Marvel isn't so hot, go read DC, when DC stinks, go read Marvel--which is nonsense given how easy it is today to find something that is either a) not about superheroes or b) not a Big Two book. Other than when one company is 'good' and the other company is 'bad', what difference is there between Marvel and DC? Events simply dramatize the samey-samey nature of superhero comic book universes, especially when the characters in them are about to be turned into new TV and movie properties, or are crass tie-ins to new TV and movie properties (which Civil War II is explicitly and intentionally, and Rebirth is implicitly and unintentionally).

Marvel have promised retailers secret variant covers for Renew Your Vows and U.SVengers.
If they're anything like the lazy retrace for Venom, I'd be cautious on their end.

I preferred Mockingbird dead. These days she's just a bland extension of her tv persona and her relationship with Clint is virtually non-existent now. Her book got axed too, so what's the point of her?

Serious question: Does Magneto's powers allow him to age slower? Because if his backstory is still that of a Holocaust survivor, that would mean that he's currently nearing the age of 90.

He's currently in a younger version of his body, he was once regressed to childhood years back, then grown back again to a more youthful age

Well they still are peers ... Magneto's mind is still his own.
