AVENGERS: ENDGAME NULLIFIED AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR!!!! PLOT-WISE, ONLY CAPTAIN MARVEL WAS WORSE!!!

Rating: 5/10 (25 April 2019)

I just saw Avengers: Endgame this morning. I'm a huge MCU fan as well as DCU fan. I was super excited to see Endgame as the continuation to Infinity War (which in my humble opinion, Infinity War is the greatest of the MCU). Please bear with me because I may go into tangents because I'm disappointed and emotions are kicking in. I know, I know, I know lol...it's only a movie, but if you're a big MCU fan...you'll understand where I'm coming from. I may be slightly biased as well(but aren't we all? That's what makes opinions and theories so interesting. Different viewpoints), but I'm going with logic and reasoning...so far as movies and fictional story telling goes. So, if you just like a good CGI and emotional action movie...where the good guy ALWAYS WINS...I suppose you'll love this movie. I mean really...many liked Captain Marvel as well hahaha!
Let me begin with Pros and Cons:
Pros:
Good special effects like all MCU movies
Began with nice emotional substance from the beginning (somewhat like we've grown to know from DCU movies of the past. Dark Knight for example). So, it built up a lot of anticipation in which the storyline could have gone in any direction.
Thor finally killing Present Day Thanos with Stormbreaker(which is what Thanos said in Infinity War, "You should have gone for the head".
Iron Man with the Infinity Gauntlet to reverse the snap
All of the Avengers returning from the snap
Thanos' intelligence of figuring out the plan of the Avengers of obtaining the infinity stones
Thanos pretty much whipping all the Avengers until the very end even after Iron Man's snap(yeah, no one can lie. Thanos was still whipping butts until the very end...even without the Infinity Gauntlet lol)
(idk...that's pretty much it!)
Cons:
Plot! Plot! Plot!
The entire narrative that changing anything in the past will not affect the future (and yes...that's stated very clearly. They even make references to Back to the Future and many other movies that those theories don't truly exist! Come on man!!! You don't have to be an Einstein to understand that anything that could get altered in your past will affect your future. Who hasn't daydreamed about changing the past...and then realized that you may not be whom you are today???)
Future Nebula killing the past Nebula had no affect on future Nebula...hmmmm
Black Widow sacrificing herself via suicide is ambiguous at most. If Hawkeye received the soul stone...what exactly did he sacrifice? Black widow is the one who sacrificed herself...so doesn't she deserve the soul stone(I know...she's dead...just saying)
Captain America wielding Thor's hammer....and controlling lightening. (I know...in Age of Ulton Captain America moves the hammer a little..very very little I might add)
Giving a counter personality to Thanos from what we've seen in Infinity War. Moral Ambiguity in my opinion. In Endgame....his personality is just plain evil?
Iron Man pulling the switcharoo on Thanos with the infinity gauntlet
The Ancient One giving Hulk the time stone....so how does Dr. Strange become Dr. Strange if she knows she's made a bad choice (I know...Captain America went back in time and returned the stones...sooooo....Dr. Strange was still able to protect the time stone?)
Very very very small part with Loki..smh!!! Loki is the "truth"!!! hahaha
The "turning to ash" of Thanos and his crew
Captain Marvel is pretty much a non factor. She got whipped by Thanos. What was the point of the solo movie of Captain Marvel??? hmmmm
To sum this up....I could go on and on and on, but I'll stop here. I just seriously believe that the Captain Marvel movie was totally unnecessary in connection with the MCU. I believe the quality of script writing of Infinity War was outstanding. Thanos became the fan favorite villain in MCU like the JOKER is in DCU. To me, Endgame took the heart out of character Thanos. Like i said at the beginning of my comment....I may be biased to a degree. When Thanos was whipping all the Avengers and finally wielded Iron Man's gauntlet....I was like, "hell yeah"!!! lol I got robbed hahaha. Anyways, those are my final two-cents!
