I like the way they handled Thanos. Especially when Thanos is watching future Thanos die and says something like that is fulfilling your destiny. He takes satisfaction in his death after accomplishing his goal. Then I like how when he sees that the Avengers keep fighting that he was wrong about how to make a stable universe and needs to start from scratch.
I also like how Thanos’ plan to save the universe was working on earth. Less pollution and recovering whales.
The Captain time loop is a bit problematic but I like the idea that he went back and lived his life in the alternate timeline then returned as an old man. Otherwise he has a lot of explaining to do why he didn’t stop a lot of things from happening which he couldn’t do per the rules of time travel set out.
Setting out the rules of time travel was both necessary and hilarious and a really well done piece of exposition.
I didn’t like the soul stone sequence. I don’t think they built them up together enough over the last 10 years. Her and the hulk would have been a good pair but her killing herself over the hulk would have been difficult to pull off.
For how much they built it up they made a really compelling movie. There were many ways to screw it up and they didn’t. It’s really impressive. That said I’m not sure I will watch it again because part of the attraction was seeing how they wrapped it up and knowing that going in the first hour would likely be hard to watch.
