Avengers Paradox

Rating: 2/10 (29 April 2019)

I didn't find this movie all that interesting. I felt it was about as good as Infinity Wars. This film feels like a complete ripoff of the last episode of Star Trek Voyager that was also called Endgame and also involved time travel. I don't mind when time travel is used in a movie or tv show as long as it makes some sense and somewhat consistent within the universe and doesn't leave giant gaping holes everywhere. This movie failed hard with the time travel stuff. I don't recall time travel being an aspect in the MCU, so whipping out the good old time travel trope randomly required way too much suspension of disbelief for me.
The fact that Tony Stark created a time machine overnight just blew my mind that someone actually thought it was a good idea to put it in the movie. The Professor Hulk stuff mind numbingly ridiculous. I'm confused as to why it was decided that Banner would just be Professor Hulk for this movie. It didn't add anything to the movie and made his character boring. Alcoholic, overweight comedic relief Thor destroyed Thor's character. It's not really even explained why he turned into an alcoholic bum. He decapitates Thanos within the first 5 minutes of the movie and the next time we see him, he's an alcoholic raging over video games. Honestly, nothing is really explained in this 3 hour movie. The directors thought it was best to like 90 minutes that added zilch to the film
The time travel in the film renders all the other films in the MCU as pointless. There are no consequences for anyone's actions. The Avengers failed in Infinity War, but good thing Tony Stark created a time machine to fix past failures. Paradoxes be damned and the "rules" of time travel can just be changed at anytime as this movie did.
The thing at the end with Captain America putting back all the stones in their original time line didn't make sense as how he'd be able to even do that. The movie couldn't be bothered to show him doing that either. Him going back to 1940 to be with Peggy Carter doesn't make sense either and messes up his character. Did he just sit and watch all this bad stuff happen throughout the years? Why didn't it create an alternate universe?
Just all around dull movie. It would've been better if the Avengers traveled to an alternate universe to get the stones instead of time travel. Then there wouldn't have been as many gaping holes in this film. It doesn't seem like Infinity Wars and Endgame were thought through.
