14 Things We Loved (and 8 Things We Hated) in Avengers: Endgame

Oh man, it’s so validating to see so many of my likes (and dislikes) represented here! Especially the Thor one, oh my god. That they went that direction at all was so disappointing; that they WOULD NOT LET IT GO for the entire movie (to the extent of MAKING his MOM do it) was pretty horrifying. It honestly feels like a jarring blob of red paint on top of an overall really impressive and beautiful mural. SO unnecessary!

Also BIG AGREE that I could have spent half the movie in the time heist! Such cool stuff going on there, in terms of callbacks and lamp-shading and general shenanigans. A really fun way to say goodbye to what they’ve done so far.

(I’ll be tattooing “Everything Peter Parker does forever” on my face, OK, thanks, bye) 

The one scene I think would have made a great post credit clip would be Steve going to return the Soul gem and having an awkward run in with the Red Skull.

@11: It seems like I”m one of the only people who really, truly loved Cap’s ending. We’ve known he was going to go back for that dance since Age of Ultron, but it never seemed like fan service to me. Instead, I felt like he had earned that ending. Steve’s been going and going and going since the 1940s in these movies, never once catching a real break, and his face down of Thanos alone at the end of Endgame really merited the retirement for me. Maybe I’m a sucker for old school, unambiguous Hollywood endings, but I positively adored he and Peggy’s kiss finishing out the movie. That’s all Steve’s ever wanted, and I think he deserved that they gave it to him.

It totally threw the rules of time travel to the wind, though. I am curious how he managed to put all the stones back where they came from. And why it didn’t change the timeline whatsoever for him to have lived with Peggy; I guess I understood it as an alternate timeline where after she died he came back for his last farewells, sort of like as a Ghost of Christmas Alternate Reality, but I wish they’d had him arrive via Quantum time machine.

Black Widow deserved way better, especially with her solo film on the rise. Clint really merited that sacrifice way more than she did, and I felt like they never resolved her and Banner’s relationship which was still alluded to in Infinity War.

I love that they went for Falcon Cap, but I’m disappointed that Bucky weirdly got no Cap closure.

Nat rescuing Clint from a destructive path when he doesn’t think he deserves it perfectly bookends their relationship.  Recall that it was Clint who gave her the chance to reform in the first place at a time when she was likely doing the same kind of things we see him doing as Ronin.

Re: Gamora and Black Widow…

Wasn’t GOTG  Gamora ‘alive,’ in some sense in the Soul Stone after Infinity War? They certainly implied this to be the case IIRC.

So isn’t Natasha also potentially ‘alive?’

My hope and theory was/is that their souls would be released and re-embodied, and ready to lead or co-lead their franchises when Rogers returned all the Stones. 

@@@@@ 20: re: your comment about Peter Parker. We only see him greet one friend in the film, Ned. Yes, we know from the trailer for Far From Home that MJ and some of the other students are there as well, meaning all of them disappeared with Thanos’ snap, just like Peter did. Presumably, many of the students at the school are not from his original class. Is it kinda convenient that Ned, MJ, and some of the others were among the vanished? Sure, but it’s also incredibly convenient that the original 6 Avengers were among those that weren’t vanished. You might call it lazy, but it’s also completely plausible. 

I agree. I seem to be the only one who did NOT like this at all.

Thor’s arc was ridiculous. He literally fought Thanos as a fat guy. No heroism at all.

The Hulk was supposed to get a story arc, like, I dont know, hulking out when Romanov died and beating the crap out of Thanos. I guess the Hulk is dead? And Banner just took over his body? That makes sense. NOT. And he literally NEVER FOUGHT ANYONE. NOT ONCE.

One major issue with the whole movie was THERE WAS NO ACTION. 2.5 hours of nothing. Then a 20 minute “war.” That war should have been an hour long. What a waste.

Captain Marvel did nothing. (And her haircut is stupid)

Thano’s death was very dissatisfying because they didn’t even kill the Thanos that beat them. They killed someone they didn’t even know and he didnt know them. Took all of the emotion out of the battle. 

Cap’s ending was rushed. Tony’s dad moment was unnecessary. The beginning of the movie (pre-5 years later) should have included Carol’s arrival and been 30 minutes instead of 5. The hero comeback was also rushed. Not a single good character moment outside of Cap. 

The time travel segment needed to be half the time. The beginning and the war needed to be double the time. 

The whole movie felt like Guardians 2 and Thor Ragnarok, not like any of the Avengers titles. It was a silly comedy with a bit of action at the end. A horrific way to end the epic stories we’ve enjoyed before. The Russo’s owe us a do-over. A complete remake of this movie. The whole presentation was unacceptable.

“Harley was at Tony’s funeral, all grown up” – THAT’S who that was! I was trying to place him and struggling – at first I thought he was Quicksilver and then realised that didn’t at all make sense.

Thor in a fat suit ruined the movie for me. It made me so angry. I loved everything else about this movie, but Thor in a fat suit, played for laughs, mocked for his PTSD and depression, even his *mum* telling him to eat a salad? I felt completely betrayed. This universe that I’ve loved for so long, betraying me like that – I can’t properly articulate how upset it made me. The more I think about it the more furious it makes me.

Soooo… the person that Clint loves most in Widow? Man his wife is gonna be maaaad… lol. I HATED the way they killed off Widow. That whole part made no sense and cheapened the significance of what happened between Thanos and Gammorah.

I’ll throw in that, while I understand being upset that Thor’s weight gain and PTSD were played for laughs and belittled him, I think this article misses the story purpose of that. Thor is now clearly not the traditional hero he always wanted to be, the grand savior of the Battle of Wakanda. He can’t even pretend he’s that anymore, and him trying to is laughable. This is to highlight that Thor’s life needs a new direction, one he’s been scared to find. It was subjectively objectionable, and that’s a valid reaction–still, objectively it served a purpose, and I think that needs to be part of the conversation.

@31 – Sheeeeeeesh. Did you even like any of these movies?

@34 – Completely agree. You guys are a tough crowd for real.

I don’t understand the uproar over how Thor was portrayed and completely agree with @16, @32 and @41. Yes, the initial reaction was played for laughs, and I did laugh (because Hemsworth has mastered Thor by now), but I also saw pretty much straight away how broken and traumatised he was. Banner trying to bring Thor back to the team was moving. Rocket’s “everyone’s lost someone” exchange with Thor in Asgard was moving. Those bits weren’t making Thor the butt of fat jokes at all.

@1 – The fact that “his mom did (the “fat shaming” / eat a salad comment) too….” 1) Isn’t that what all moms do? It’s almost like how moms show they care. And I’m only talking about the moms of those who don’t have eating disorders. 2) It came in the middle of a scene when Thor finally gets some closure for all the losses he’s taken over his character arc. And his mom recognises how much he’s hurting and tells him exactly what he needs to hear to start getting him back on his feet. It was beautiful. 

Furthermore I thought the character codas for the original Avengers were wonderful, especially for Cap. What was so cheesy and downer about them? Yes I understand there are problems with continuity and time-travel for Cap’s ending, but you’re looking way too hard into all of it. Just enjoy it for what it was: a sentimental send-off to a beloved character who finally got what he wanted after all these years – that dance with his girl. 

Hemsworth is in on the joke; it takes CONSTANT exercise and diet to maintain his physique. So how is REALISM now a bad joke? You try a 5 year beer and Cheetos diet, see what happens.

So sarcastic characters saying sarcastic things is body shaming now? Maybe the problem is your mindset, because shame is internal. A normal person would see it as a call to action innit? Can we call a spade a spade?

Guess Hollywood should make a new genre of movies: for the easily butt hurt. 3 hours of weather channel highlights and one line of dialogue. “How’s the weather today?” I’d add a reply, but I’m afraid of cloud shaming.

In regards to Thor I had a completely different take. As a guy who is overweight, has had extreme anxiety his entire life and who has PTSD I felt like whoah I could be Thor. I didn’t feel like it was fat shaming at all. The humor is obviously the tension between Thor as his own ideal version, our ideal version and the irony hat he isn’t that anymore but yet still he is the God of thunder. It was fricken awesome.

I also thought the soundtrack was horrendous…dated, lazy, and pure distracting cheese.

@62: IIRC, no one, including Nebula, knows that Gamora’s death on Vormir was directly enacted because it was the price required for the Soul Stone. At the end of Infinity War (when she puts the pieces together that Gamora’s dead, right before Quill attacks Thanos out of rage), the only thing that Nebula says is “He took her to Vormir. He came back with the Soul Stone… but she didn’t.” i.e., acknowledging that he must have killed her there. She doesn’t spell out the connection that Gamora might have had to die in order to get the stone, just that Gamora never came back with him, so she must not be alive. None of the team left after the snap is aware that in order to gain the Soul Stone, someone has to die on Vormir. 

It’s part of why, from a purely logistical perspective, the fact that Clint and Nat were the ones who went to Vormir made sense. (At least to me. I personally loved pretty much all aspects of the movie barring a few of them, though I definitely understand where some of the critique comes from, especially on this thread). Cap, Banner, Tony, and Scott all needed to travel back to New York because of their parts in the initial Time Heist plan (to either emulate their past selves or use their powers for the heist, like Scott). Thor and Rocket were the team that made sense to go get the Aether (it’s Thor’s timeline, so he’ll know where to find Jane, and Rocket is capable of understanding, building, and implementing the tech to extract the Aether). And War Machine and Nebula made sense to go get the Power Stone (Nebula’s one of the few team members who knows other planets besides Earth and has been to space, so she’ll know where they’re going, and Rhodey is both a capable fighter if something goes wrong and has enough tech to deal with any booby traps and technical problems that could crop up.)

That leaves Clint and Nat to go and get the Soul Stone – and  they have years of experience working together, so sending them as a pair makes sense. Honestly, all that the team seems to know about the Soul Stone is that it’s kept on a planet called Vormir, and Thanos went there with Gamora and left with the stone, having murdered her somewhere in the process. Since he didn’t need to bring his whole army with him to retrieve the stone, to their knowledge, it probably seems (at least from their perspectives) that either the stone is relatively unguarded on Vormir, or it’s guarded by people that Thanos and Gamora (or just Thanos) were able to fight their way through and survive. In that situation, sending two super-spies, who have years of dealing with unpredictable combat scenarios as a team, into the field….that checks out to me.

While the battle was cool, the high quickly wore off.  Infinity war was actually  the better movie but rushed, and it should have been given the run time of endgame to let the dialogue and jokes marinate rather than endgame dwelling on stupid fat thor blubbering misery, black widow bowing down after running the show 5+ years and then dying to further the storyline of the least important avenger and while I get the idea behind the girl power moment, they made it kinda corny, and Tony’s sacrifice moments in 2012 avengers and even in infinity war were much better done than the gloss over endgame gave it….  I expected more from a culmination of 22 movies ending after more than a decade.  Oh, and captain America finally able to wield mjolnir, but bails for the rest of his life… uber ghey.

And Steve took Mjolnir to drop it off in the Thor The Dark World timeline so Thor could keep using it.

@@@@@ 79

Maybe Guardians 3 (Asgardians of the galaxy?) could solve that? Adam Warlock was teased at the end of Guardians 2, and nobody knows the Soul Stone better than Adam Warlock.

I was royally pissed about how they treated Black Widow. It infuriates me that Clint gets to go back to his family. He went around murdering people FFS.

Marvel can make up for that by having Hawkeye tell his kids the story of his best friend Nat and we can finally get our Black Widow movie.

I was so happy to see Sam and to see that he’d be the new Cap. 

I think Steve did an alternate timeline so he could be with Peggy. It was about time that he did something for himself. I nearly melted at that ending smooch.

I totally get PTSD making you also drunk and depressed, but I wish people had showed him some more compassion. His mom, after that beautiful scene, cheapened it by saying, “Eat a salad.”

Steve and Mjolnir had me cheering.

@85 Aeryl – Thank you! You took the words right out of my mouth with that whole comment. I was starting to think I was the only one who appreciated that scene. Yeah, it was super on the nose, but that was the point. I loved what that scene stood for. 

@61 Thanos thought the snap would finally get the universes population to see that balance is better, and they would control their own populations from then on.

At least that’s the impression I got.

Yeah, possibly I watch too much Criminal Minds (okay, I KNOW I watch too much Criminal Minds heh), but anyone who thinks Thanos was truly coming from a place of logic with his plan is off base. He may have been coming from a place of logic when he first suggested halving the population to the people on his own planet – albeit, ruthless, possibly sociopathic logic – but I think once his planet destroyed itself, it drove him a little mad, the way grief often does. It was his trigger. (Stressor? I get those confused.) After that, his commitment to seeing his plan through became pathological. So all the “holes” in his logic – yeah, I don’t think he really cared. He wasn’t thinking like that.

Spoiler alert… If you shave not see. It don’t read this

Can someone explain to me how you can make the entire plot about how the read fluid things are required to go back and forth in time and then with a bit of hacking by a clever android she is able to transport a ginormous ship with millions of badies forward in time… No red juice required no special uniforms if helmets

Also… captain Mavel is somehow able to ,in movement single strike, destroy the entire spaceship but she somehow needs the help of a bunch of run-of-the-mill superhero characters to travel 100 yards to a van?

The helmet in the lab in the 70s is a reference to the comics antman helmet

Here are more Easter Eggs I have noticed:

Edwin Jarvis,who was with Howard Stark, was the same actor from the Agent Carter show.

Howard the duck is in the assemble scene.

New Asgard is also in the same place that Red Skull discovered the tesseract in The First Avenger.

Natasha had a pair of ballet slippers on her chair after talking with the distributed team, before Captain America comes in.

The song playing when Steve and Peggy are dancing in the final scene is the same song playing when Steve sneaks into his own apartment to find a shot Nick Fury in Winter Soldier.

Robert Downey Jr plays a character called Tony Stark, who also features in a series of comics.

oh… dammit… it seems I do notice way too many things…

I must admit while it would’ve made no sense I was kind of hoping Thor would keep mjolnir and ditch stormbreaker …

Peter Parker would NEVER EVER EVER use “full kill mode.”

They truly missed the core of his character with that one line and it ruined most of the final battle for me.

Don’t call me King of Asgard, just call me The Dude.

Steve coming back as an old man broke the story’s time travel rules, right? The idea was that when you went back in time, it became a different timeline, right? So, it made no sense that Steve stayed in one of those timelines and somehow grew old in the “main” timeline. Or did I miss something?

In our theater, the biggest applause and loudest cheering was reserved for the moment that Spider-Man appeared. No question about it; it wasn’t even close.

And there was a LOT of cheering throughout the movie.

AS A MOTHER, there is ONE HATED FUCKING SCENE that NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT!!!!

TONY DIDN’T BRUSH MORGAN’S TEETH!!!!!

He gave her a fucking Popsicle and LET HER GO TO SLEEP WITHOUT BRUSHING OR RINSING HER MOUTH!!! 

WORST PARENTING MOMENT. Also, who’s kid ACTUALLY GOES TO SLEEP ON THEIR OWN, especially after consuming RAW SUGAR!??!?!?!?!

I have so much parental rage at this scene!!!! It would have been better if he gave her a protein snack, brushed her teeth and jumped into bed with her to cuddle until she fell asleep. Like EVERY OTHER PARENT out there probably does!!

Many good reactions & ideas here. Thanks, all. Nice to enjoy it together.

When Steve moved Mjolnir slightly in Avengers I, I always took it as him moving it enough to know he could (for his own curiosity’s sake?) but knowing Thor’s ego liked being Big Worthy Man on Campus. Cap has no problem sacrificing his own ego for a teammate’s. He goes into Endgame knowing its one of his strategic options. I think Thor does, too; why else get it from Asgard?

The whole timeline rules are established basically to prevent too much chaos. Stones returned to their previous times, all loose ends tied up (except Loki running around with the Cube). I do think Cap has to be circumspect when he goes back to be with Peggy — there’s a reason they’re dancing inside the house instead of out in public. Maybe she still marries her husband and has a little Cap on the side? We now know that for Cap it wasn’t just that he couldn’t have a normal life after he came out of the ice, it was that he couldn’t have a normal life without her. 

I love that someone cited Black WIdow as having balanced the ledger with her sacrifice. I think that works. A whole lot of people trying to balance things in human and terrible ways in this movie. 

The more I think about it, the more this felt like the Prayer for Owen Meany of superhero blockbusters. Everything had to be set up just so — heroes, tech, character arcs — to make it work. Tony’s clearly at the center of that, but you have time thief Antman equipped and ready, Banner saying, “It’s like I was made for this” as he brings back 1/2 the universe, Natasha’s sacrifice, Cap and Thor prepared to hold off Thanos just long enough for the cavalry to appear.

My biggest problem with the movie is they should’ve snapped back to the time before the Snapture. A universe where half of all living things were gone for five years and the rest remained to mourn them would be full of PTSD, disjointed life arcs, disrupted ecosystems. All just to give us some wonderful scenes with Morgan Stark? Maybe she becomes Kang and goes back to correct this…

You guys are missing an important point about Natasha Romanov sacrificing herself for Clint (and his family).

She’s their youngest kids godmother.

What does bringing back Clint’s family back while he’s dead? That family deserved some happiness. And having them have to grieve their dad’s death would be horrible.

Has anyone mentioned this one yet? –>

What bugged me the most was this: The world has spent five years with half of its original population. Naturally, the world’s agricultural systems will be geared to producing food for only that many people. So, if you suddenly DOUBLE the number of people on Earth, they’re all gonna starve! No way can you double the world’s food production with the snap of your fingers. (heh.)

Likewise: everyone who didn’t get snapped will now be five years older, while all the ones who did will be their original age. Yet Peter is back in high school, **and so are all his buddies** — at least half of whom should have graduated college by now.

And where are all these returnees gonna live? The abandoned homes will have deteriorated by now, and many of the people who didn’t get snapped will have moved into the homes of people who did get snapped — leading to bazillions of housing conflicts. And all the stuff left behind by the snapped people will have either disintegrated or been appropriated by people who didn’t get snapped. Where are they going to get clothes? Cars? Jobs?

IOW, the Avengers have just created an apocalypse by bringing everyone back en masse. Good job, guys!

@140 —

“to cover the gap between arrival and the next growing season, they can still introduce rationing. As long as they are quick enough to step the food production back up, and I don’t see why that would be hard with the workforce swelling”

Nonono.

You can’t double livestock numbers in a year, much less get double the amount of meat slaughtered and to market. You can’t revive half the world’s agricultural fields in a year, nor repair all the rusted farm equipment necessary to grow and harvest those fields. It ain’t gonna work.

And try putting yourself on half rations for a year. You’re gonna starve.

@141 – 

I can’t speak for other countries, but a few years back, I saw a study that found that in the USA, approximately half of all food produced gets thrown away uneaten. Proper rationing would work here.

Nat’s death was the culmination of ten years of storytelling. From the spy who abuses Tony’s trust in Iron Man 2, to someone willing to make a stand in New York, to the woman willing to be all things to all people in Winter Soldier as she tries to figure out who she is and who she should be to others… she grows into a truly heroic person who won’t give up on the universe and won’t allow Clint’s children to grow up without a father. 

And honestly, it wouldn’t have felt believable to have Clint win that last fight when historically, Nat has kicked his ass every time they go head to head.

So basically, going from being a cold blooded killer to the woman who dies to save the universe is fitting. Her willing sacrifice was incredibly potent, and a very appropriate way to go. The memorial by the lake felt too short, like it didn’t give enough, but you could see Brulk aching over what might have been. They acknowledged that the Avengers were her people, and she clearly loved them. It was exactly the kind of memorial she would have wanted.

As for Thor – sure, the initial reaction was played for laughs, but a big part of humor is surprise. Honestly, his fallout from Infinity War felt more real and painful to me than anyone else’s. You could SEE the agony in his eyes, and his refusal to acknowledge it. It was heartbreaking to watch, and Hemsworth pulled it off perfectly. He was powerful and valorous. He became a warrior focused not on revenge, but redemption. Fingers crossed that he’ll will turn up in the next Guardians movie. 

I adored the callbacks to the other movies. Even getting a glimpse of Wong, Valkyrie, Wasp, everyone else, rang true and right for me. It made sense to me that the original six were the focus, because this was the end of half of them.

I’m not a fan of time travel stuff normally, but loved the time heist. I loved Nebula’s growth from a basic villain to one of the bravest women in the MCU. I wished we’d had more Captain Marvel, but I think her reason for being away made sense, and she had some shining moments anyway. I chortled with glee when Thanos punched her in the face and she didn’t even flinch, he had to resort to using the Power Stone to affect her. And, I’m glad she wasn’t the focus of the movie even though I love her, because it would have taken away from Natasha, Tony, and Cap (who got the sweetest, most deserved happy ending, and I’m just not going to worry too much about the time travel implications). 

In short… I loved it so much. There were flaws, but no movie is perfect. It was the right ending to a ten year story arc and it was both gratifying and painful to watch.

And, hey, do you notice what Falcon becoming the new Captain America means?

It means we are now getting Captain Falcon

So many fascinating factors in the film. The time travel aspect has always had me scratching my head since there are always inconsistencies in movies. I just go with the flow so I don’t get distracted with quantum physics.

Things I liked:

1. Pepper giving Tony permission to die recognizing that the only true peace and rest he would know was in death because of his nature, and giving him additional comfort by telling him, “we will be all right.” It was for me the ultimate love, i.e., seeing things from both perspectives. Not self-pity, but love and letting go.

2. The humanizing of Nebula with the tender interactions between Tony and her as they floated in space.

3. Tony being able to talk to his father as an equal. There are things we cannot learn nor understand about our parents until we have experienced parenthood ourselves. Additionally, the fact that Tony was able to truly embrace his father, metaphorically and physically, helped me to resolve the angst he felt about his relationship with his dad throughout his life.

4. A more mature Rocket, yet still a wise cracking character. I love Rocket.

5. Cap getting his due reward of the life he always wanted. He served his country, then the world, and then the universe. He deserves to experience some of what Tony talked about.

6. The Hulk/Banner mix was brilliant. An acceptance of self, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Who says you have to be one or the other? Just be yourself…and if you can’t be yourself, then be a unicorn, right?

7. Cap and Mjolnir – I’m old-fashioned. I love Captain America and his 1940s squeaky-clean chivalrous ways. What can I say other than it was a perfect way to place him on par with a god of Asgard. Just as Thor suspected, Captain America was pure and worthy as deemed by an impartial judge of character, Mjolnir. Loved it.

8. The undying tenacity of Captain America in the face of great odds is an example I can use with my students. It is a clip I would use to teach persistence and courage. It didn’t matter that there was an entire army, it was about standing for what is right and not backing down. Never say die!

Neither Here Nor There, Just Not in the Things I Liked Section:

1. Thanos – I am still morbidly mesmerized by this murderous character who bears no true ill-will toward anyone, other than his distaste for the Avengers. He is no super villain because there is no real rancor, no self-serving self-promotion to be the leader of the universe. His motivation is simply to make a better place to live. Perhaps, that is what is the most chilling thing about him. He made himself the judge and jury of how the universe ought to be. So, it was a fitting end that he should fly away as dust and at the hand of conflicted Tony Stark who only wanted to protect the world…and then the universe.

2. Thor as the Great Lebowski. I’m not sure I agree with how it was done, although it was ostensibly humorous, it was painful for me. Perhaps it was an attempt to underscore the grief and guilt he felt by showing the ridiculous? It humanized Thor, and as a sufferer of PTSD, the irrational thought came to mind that if even the mighty Thor could be susceptible, then I need not be ashamed. I know, irrational, but it gave me a modicum of comfort.

Just for the heck of it I would like to see a DVD extra where other last battle portals open with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. coming through, and as it’s not going to happen, and they are all part of the same company others with characters from Brave, Mulan and why wizard Mickey, Scrooge his crew and others…. ahh… toss in  the Netflix ones too.

Black Widow’s character was severely mishandled in this movie.  It was not just her sacrifice; it was how hopeless they made her character, before she volunteers to die. She clearly feels useless running point for the Avengers, she’s down & depressed, and then she gets to sacrifice herself.  What if we cut a number of Thor fat jokes, and took a moment to build Nat back up, BEFORE she sacrifices herself?  That could have made her sacrifice much more powerful, and less like a suicide from a character who no longer feels they have a role on the team.

They owe her a damn fine solo movie.  Do the character some justice, please!

On the time travel bit, I took the explanation to be: Changing the past doesn’t change the present, except where the infinity stones are concerned, because they generate the time stream. 
This is complicated by them being “destroyed” by Thanos, unless they weren’t really destroyed, but something more like broken into bits and irrecoverably scattered through the universe so that destroying them didn’t end time.

Ugh, many corrections needed in my previous post, since I typed it in a little smartphone, figure out where they belong if you care.

1. * than

2. *Marvel

3. *tethers

I still say it wasn’t fair for Tony to get the whole big funeral thing sendoff, while Natalie gets…oh, so sad, she’s dead, oops too busy to care now. 

I agree with others that when you give a Soul Stone back, you should get the soul that was traded. 

And even in the present time line, Loki could have survived–hello, he’s a Frost Giant dang it! Imagine him floating in space and deciding screw it, humans too stupid to deal with, time to jaunt off to Jotunheim and take *that* crown. 

Hulk didn’t have an end fight scene…. he was dug out by ant man then disappeared.

Also…. if the gems are so powerful why couldn’t professor hulk snap her back into existence…. he said he tried…..

[Positive Reasons]…, but… I still feel that the MCU should have ended with Infinity War.

Motivation: everyone, mostly, when asked if they remembered how they felt after Infinity War, will recall the #WTFJH moment. If the MCU ended, there and then, we would have had the perfect Shakespearian ending. 

The same cannot be said for the End Game. It felt rushed to justify the [infinity] loose ends, which I liked having (pre-end-game), to entice my own thoughts and possible outcomes.

An absolute “no-no” for me was the vilification of Thanos.  The creators spent so much thought into herofications of villains and anti-heroes etc, throughout the MCU, which made these films challenging and not boring.

It’s like someone told the Marvel team, “Ok you guys, you had your fun killing all our merchandise, now fix it or else…” -lol
