Finally after the 10 year build up, Endgame busts the expectations and as a movie goer Ieaves me satisfied. However, as a fan, severely disappointed. I'm going to deeply analize the 5 points that made Endgame experience a fatality for a long time Marvel fan.
1.Thanos character was reduced to a generic lifeless villian.
Remeber in Infinity War how we could sympathize with Thanos as a character despite his actions and sociopathy? He had a solid motivation and his lines were truly something that made rewatching the film worth it. Endgame literally decapitates him in the first 10 minutes, by our "heroes" were he was just making himself a broth with one-arm, to add, at the point it felt the Avengers were just bullying him,again, to add insult to injury as Thor axed him it really felt the movie was portraying the Avengers as the villians.
Then the film decides to place a past Thanos as the main villian, which would have been fine, if he actually had something interesting to say besides that he was going to destroy the whole universe and remake it. As if that wasn't bad enough, if the present Thanos was left alive, it wouldn't have made any difference, to the contrary, it would have been interesting to see what he had to say if he saw past Gamora alive, and make him feel the regret he felt when he won, but then again, we wouldn't have our epic final battle with the explosions and the female power moment, because that's worth the 3 hours.
2. The most iconic Marvel characters Hulk and Thor were completely slaughtered and insultingly mocked.
Have you ever wondered how interesting it would be if Marvel made a comic about a videogame playing-basement dwelling Thor and a... I forgot the Professor Hulk comic is actually a thi- Never mind. Point being. Did you love to watch Bruce Banner overcome his psychological fear of controlling the Hulk like in the original Avengers movie? Did you also love how Thor was able to move on from losing his kingdom, his family, and friends and continue his quest for not being a disappointment to Odin in Ragnarok?
Well... throw all of that to the garbage disposal, because this movie gave us FaThor playing Fortnite and Dabbing Professor Hulk instead. I really feel like I shouldn't explain this further, people...
3.I thought deaths didn't matter in the MCU?
So let's count the total Infinity War and Endgame death toll... Gamora, many Asgardians and Loki, Vision, Iron Man, and Black Widow, if I forgot anyone else it means I really don't care for them. These are the ones who didn't actually come back to life with the snap. Ok, fine, but why the deaths felt heavier in Infinity War, were we knew they could be brought back, but then they felt out of nowhere in this film? That's it, maybe because the deaths were handled better in Infinity War.
If you rewatch Infinity War, you might notice the characters who saw their loved ones die, had the emotional outbreak we expected they were going to have, making an impact on the audience, there was literally no emotional impact on the deaths scenes of this film, because it felt it had to move quickly to the next scene to make space for the fan service.
4.The time travel completely makes the film fall in Men in Black 3 levels of logical inconsistency
So as you might realize, I'm not a fan of time travel in film, unless it follows the Back to the Future formula or the first two Terminator movies, but unless a movie decides to change its rules midway I'll competely disregard the movie as food for thought when it comes to fixing its own plot holes.
For starters, if you're gonna pull the alternate universe travel formula, I'm fine with it, but then you base the science on the fact that Ant-Man traveled 5 years to the future in five hours, but then they come to the conclusion that with such logic they can travel to the past... It's out of nowhere really. You could actually come with a better plot device with the time stone, it was supposed to be there for a reason, Dr. Strange himself gave it away for something, but then you literally use a rat to determine time travel is possible... yeah, what a mess...
As I was saying, if the alt universe in the film was consistent, I'd be fine with it, but then we wouldn't have old Steve Rogers sitting on a bench in the same dimension! Instead of making him teleport back to the platform as an old man, which would have been even better, but then we come to the conclusion that the alternate universe he traveled to is the same one? Nope...
BTW As he is giving his identity to someone else, as a side note, I thought Bucky was supposed to be the next Captain America, you know Steve Rogers' best friend, oh sorry, I forgot there must be a Black Captain America to pander to minorities, would that make me racist, Brie Larson? My bad.
If anything time travel works better in X-Men Days of Future past, because a single character went back in time to a key moment, allowing it to create good scenarios between the characters, Tony could have literally used the time stone to go alone back in time as his young self to the New York Battle and confiscate the stones and destroy them, but then again, we wouldn't have the final epic battle scene, right?
5. Captain Marvel
Nothing against our activist and feminist Brie Larson, I'm sure she has made great films in the past, but as you see, I really couldn't understand how her presence was required in this film, as she comes in, leaves during all the second act, then returns out of nowhere and has no weight to the plot of the film.
The thing to like about the Avengers characters is that their interactions and that they have relationships between each other. Captain Marvel has no deep connection with any character on the film whatsoever, hell, she barely has anything to do with the plot more than rescuing Tony from space, which adds to the question, how did she know where to find him? Oh excuse me if I should watch Captain Marvel to know... because I didn't watch it, did that gave me a problem to understand this film? Absolutely not. I fear the reason for her placement was for something other than the fact she's a female, but then again I'd be called a bigot for adding the observation, as I take it back I might add, Thanos really kicked her ass, didn't he? So much for the most powerful Marvel hero.
That's my review, I don't think many people will read it, but I wanted to vent the frustration this film gave me, I must add I still enjoyed the film generally as a casual movie goer, I'm glad it exists, and I'm glad people enjoyed it, because it marks the end of an iconic era, and I have hope that filmmakers will move on from the cinematic universe trend and start making movies as their own and admire Infinity War as the pinnacle of such an achievement as nothing will top it. I'm sure Stan Lee is smiling in heaven for that.
