Love it? Hate it? Neither? Both?
I don’t know exactly how I feel about it yet. I feel like it was a really good end/beginning for the MCU, but there was a bunch that I just don’t think they needed. Like the scene where Hulk and Rocket go to get Thor and he’s this fat depressed mess. That could’ve easily been done as like 2 minute thing but it dragged on for a good chunk of time.
Then there were the loose ends that they left, like Loki escaping in the past. Like with all time travel movies, they messed things up in the past and one of those mess ups ended with Loki grabbing the Tesseract and dipping on out like, you know, Loki. But then at the end Cap supposedly puts all the stones back to where they were, so does that mean he stopped that whole interaction or did Loki still escape?
And where the fucc is past Gamora at the end? Did she get caught up in Tony’s snap because she was with Thanos when they came to the future/present? It was a past version of her, but she was still fighting against Thanos, so there’s the potential that she could come back to the Guardians and rebuild that life from scratch. But no. She just disappears. Doesn’t even show up on the ship with the Guardians and Thor.
[spoiler]Side rant: People need to calm down about Captain Marvel. We all know/get it, she’s dumb, Brie Larson is dumb, her movie was dumb, etc. but like half of the people I heard talking after the movie were complaining about her like she ruined the movie or something. It’s a 3 hour movie and she’s on screen for like 30 min total and in only about 5-10 of those is she actually doing something meaningful.
Getting mad because she did something “overpowered” is just stupid. It was basically the same thing Thor did in Infinity War, but less. She showed up when everyone was getting blasted and took out one threat. Thor hopped in and took out basically the whole army by himself and then almost killed Thanos. I’d say Thor wins the competition for dramatic OP entrances.
Now that I think about it, she was basically just Thor from Infinity War. She was a bit -blam!- in the beginning, saying she was going to be the one to kill Thanos. Then she went off doing her own thing for most of the movie. Then she showed up at the last second and did something powerful. The only difference was that she didn’t actually do anything and wasn’t really a main focus. All she’s really guilty of is not being a main character even though she’s set up like one. But if that’s a reason to hate her, like half (pun intended) of the MCU should have been hated in these last 2 movies.
At a certain point, it’s just being childish and petty. It wasn’t like she kicked Thanos’s ass like everyone was dreading. She got -blam!- slapped into next week almost immediately. Hell, Scarlet Witch did way more to him than she did.[/spoiler]

I really enjoyed it. I’m still deciding if it’s my favorite movie of all time but if it’s not it’s probably second. Spoiler:(Just in case) [spoiler]The beginning was great. The ending was great. Even though a few people guessed the time thing it was still surprising how it all worked out. All of the battles were great. Good story good action. Good humor. It was a little sad to say goodbye to Cap and Tony, but I kinda guessed that cap would but Tony’s was a little unexpected. The Thor part didn’t seem unnecessary. It was establishing the fact that Thor was incredibly beat up by the fact that he “failed” The only grievance I have was almost everything captain marvel. As you said she’s a little OP considering she kinda has the power of the tesseract. She’s also just not played very well. I don’t really know how she’s portrayed in the comics but it just feels like someone peed in her morning Cheerios and she’s blaming it on everyone. She’s not a terrible actress but I feel that this is getting to her head. The feminism part was a little forced. I felt like some guy could’ve tried to help but then the women stepped forward to help, but the fact that all the women just stepped up right then made things a little weird[/spoiler]
