I think I've isolated the two reasons I'm not a huge fan of this:
First, the girls seem to steal the spotlight from the Avengers, instead of sharing it. The bit with Thor and Jupiter at the beginning avoids this, and has them fighting together, but for the others, it feels like they are hijacking the Avengers' scenes. Even though stuff like the Hulk's rampage, or Cap 'dealing with' the Cheltauri soldiers is mentioned, it ends up feeling like they didn't do all that much.
Second, the 'claiming' scene. While it works for Tony (likely in part because of his reaction), the part with Cap just makes me think of the reasons that Doug doesn't like gods. Rei just walks up to Steve, announces who she is, and says he belongs to her. When he objects, she hits him with a dose of divine power, to which he seems to have no response. Really, any response on his part would be good, for example, telling her to accept all the soldiers, policemen firemen and so on as heroes, not just him, or something. As is, it feels like he gave in to her, when he refused to bow to Loki.
Hope you don't mind the criticisms, and I hope that I was able to convey my thoughts adequately.
Edit:
Just tossing in the edit to make sure you see this post, as it appears that we almost simulposted.
