What happened to Russos and writers of Winter Soldier???

Rating: 3/10 (1 May 2019)

Watched this effort and was disappointed. In fact, the last three efforts from the writers and directors of Winter Soldier have been sorely lacking. Where is the superb action in these films? The entire fights on the ship, highway, and elevator in Winter Soldier were not only intense, but they were exciting to watch since it showed the great skills of both Cap A and Black Widow. It also showed them winning. In Infinity and Endgame many fights were depressing, except the short fight in Endgame. Winter soldier also had a great story, where many difficult situations were sorted or calculated by Cap A and Black Widow being skillful fighters and brilliant strategists. In Endgame, the creative and brilliant science prodigy Iron man looked inadequate. The writers could have had him, together with Nebula, thinking creatively to get back to Earth using the Milano instead of cheating the storyline by having Cap. Marvel suddenly appearing. What about Antman? The film had a rat conveniently pressing the right controls to have Scott Lang fart out of the van. Wow, what a plot convenience!. Surely, Scott could think of something in five hours to get out of the time vortex. Another superhero made to look inadequate. Let's get to Hulk and the tragic storyline of the God hero Thor. The former had no chance to avenge his defeat directly at the hands of Thanos. Surely, the immense strength of Hulk together with the brains of Banner could figure something out. And Hulk's reaction to Black widow's death was pitiful. He did not even get angry and tip over the edge. Come on, what is that? Boy, after the heroic turn of Thor in Infinity War, here he is reduced to a fat God that cannot even defeat a Gauntlet-less Thanos with the Stormbreaker and Mjolnir. I feel bad for the brilliant Hemsworth, who had a great turn in Dark World (went to his post-Avengers Loki for help with defeating the Elf. This was brilliant storytelling) and Ragnarok. The writers had him lose twice to Thanos. Where is the satisfaction in that! Where was the satisfaction of both Scarlett Witch or Nebula not having Thanos suffer greatly for him killing Vision or abusing the latter for many years, respectively. The storyline should have been better constructed. Cap A could have had a better fight with Thanos. He is a master strategist and fighting soldier. Couldn't the writers have had him training for Thanos in the last 5-6 yrs. Improving his strength and getting to know everything about Thanos. Couldn't they have had him helping the weak through fighting the bad guys in the meantime, like Hawkeye. Hawkeye's story was good, as the film resembled Signs to s small extent in concentrating on a small family situation and why it was necessary for him to reverse the snap. The last three films have been rushed. In Civil War, everything was supposed to be ok after Cap writes a letter to Iron man. Come on. Take time to write a great story that these films deserve. To have all the heroes return in the last 15 mins is pathetic. These heroes deserved more time. Gosh, Okoye's fighting skills were not even displayed as well as they were in Black Panther. The hype far exceeds the fun factor in this movie and the past two. Not been satisfied with Marvel since WS. Have not bothered to watch Antman 2 or Captain Marvel. This was bad.
