At a guess, I'd say it's the near-total lack of actual composition. A common 90s gig; every panel is a posed shot and virtually none of them flow from the previous or into the next. It is not telling a STORY. Some of it works, like the grabbing the nazis in the snow bit...but it's very clumsy.

Contrast that fight sequence with this one, for example, from Loki: Siege:

The words ADD to the story, they don't replace it. You could ignore the text and you can tell what's going on. The fight FLOWS. The Image 90s style was all about every panel being a stand-alone illustration, essentially. That doesn't lend itself to narrative flow.
