He believed that if he had his suits around the world, even if that meant trampling on some civil liberties, the people on Earth would be safe. Unfortunately, he and Bruce Banner used an Infinity Stone to create Ultron without notifying the other Avengers. He left his little project alone, giving Ultron time to form his own conclusions about humanity. In addition to this, Tony tried to repeat the process, but this time with J.A.R.V.I.S.. It was understandable that most of the Avengers, aside from Thor, who had a vision about the event, didn’t trust Tony at all.

After losing Frigga, Odin became a changed man. Now Thor acted as the voice of reason, but Odin was eager to kill the Dark Elves in order to avenge his wife’s. He knew that the Dark Elves had an overwhelming advantage thanks to their weaponry, yet he stated that he would sacrifice as many Asgardian soldiers as necessary in order to have his vengeance. In this state, Odin was a far different man from the wise king who told Thor that war should be avoided at all costs. Even Heimdall, one of Odin’s most loyal warriors, allowed Thor to leave since he knew that his king was blinded by rage and sorrow.

However, Gamora admitted to multiple members of the Guardians of the Galaxy that she was the only person who knew where the Soul Stone was, thus, she could not be allowed to fall into Thanos’ hands.

Rocket Raccoon was wise enough to realize that this was a terrible idea, but most of the other Guardians went with Gamora.
4 Drax Invited Ronan To Fight Him
Despite the Guardians of the Galaxy’s attempts to keep an Infinity Stone out of Ronan’s hands, Drax foolishly told Ronan where they were located. He wanted to fight Ronan in order to get revenge for his wife and daughter.

In What If…?, Vision proved that he could make decisions as questionable as Wanda’s. Unable to cure her of her zombified state, Vision chose to instead feed uninfected people to her in order to keep her placated. When the surviving Avengers discovered this, they were naturally horrified and unable to trust him.

It was nothing short of a miracle that Groot was able to get it right, but it was only because someone else pointed the fin out to him. Yondu and Rocket didn’t really trust Groot, but relied on him out of sheer desperation.
