Well, I mean, Carol Danvers is about to show up and beat everyone up, despite the fact that she isn't supposed to be that level of powerful. I guess they might go full Binary with her.

People gave this a lot of crap but I have to say, much as I enjoy these movies, they are occupying a lot of the field at this stage. It certainly hasn't prevented actual, honest to goodness great films from being made, but you don't see anywhere near as many of them being "the thing everyone's talking about".

I actually thought even another 20 minutes would have helped. My big "fix" for this movie is that I would have started the film with the Gamora childhood flashback, added another as she was growing up, and maybe even given Gamora and Thanos a bit more screen time on their way to the soul stone to really drive home the connection between them and his odd sort of fatherly affection for her. Would have given her death even more "right in the feels" oomph, and more character development for Thanos.
One area of weakness for the film, I thought was that while we know Thanos exists from the earlier films, suddenly the movie is all Thanos, all the time. Had they done a little more to make him fleshed out as a character and a sort of lurking threat that will materialize (along with his henchmen) the film would have been better. Ebony Maw was so good in such limited time in this. I doubt anyone even knew what the names of those characters were. Also, no Supergiant, for some reason. Guess they felt they had enough characters as it was.

No it didn't. It didn't succeed in what it aimed for but it had some outstanding elements and some segments that were absolutely fantastic. The extended cut makes a big difference. Manhattan's flashback sequence is one of the better things ever done in a superhero movie.

Heimdall is toast. I think Vision is too. I'm actually pretty damned sure we'll see Loki again at some point. He is the God of Mischief. He cannot die. It might be female Loki though, and not Hiddleston.
