Good fun but ultimately one big Deus ex machina

Rating: 8/10 (26 April 2018)

This is a wonderful event film which makes perfect cinema entertainment, however on reflection, and now my own hype for it has dissipated, there are quite a few questions and potential plot hole that actually bother me
SPOILERS AHEAD!
The film jumps straight into the end of Thor Ragnarok and Asgaurdian ship being destroyed with nearly all the Asgaurdians being killed. But what happened to Korg? They seemed to build him up in Ragnarok and he became an instant fan favourite, so for him to just be killed off screen seems a bit disrespectful to the character and the fans.
Also, why would the Hulk only show up right at the end? What was he doing? I understand it was so Loki could use the line 'we have a hulk', that Tony Stark used on him in Avengers, but there is no way the Hulk would have sat out the initial attack.
Speaking of the hulk, why, after getting a beating from Thanos, does he refuse to 'come out' for the rest of the film? This is not who THE HULK is!
Remember when the Hulk one punched that Jitari battle worm thing?
Marvel clearly does not.
He has been getting weaker each film and this time decides to sit it out despite the fate of the universe being at stake.
Also during this opening scene, the ship is badly damaged and clearly exposed to space. Ebony Maw, one of the Black Order, is here, unaffected by this, just like everyone else. But later in the film, being sucked out of his spaceship kills him and you see him freeze in space. Why? Earlier he was unaffected. There has to be consistency here.
Iron Mans suite is now so powerful it can pretty much do anything the writers need it to do. This was a problem for me in Black Panther, where they had the right tech for every eventuality, no matter how ridiculous it was.
Now Iron Man has a nanotech suite that can morph into different shapes and create new weapons at will. Need a shield? No problem. Need a jet engine in place of your feet? No Problem. Need your hands to turn into giant pile drivers to punch Thanos in the face? No problem. Watching him is like watching a hyper kinetic anime with a cyborg who keeps powering up.
Two other members of the Black Order, Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive, go to collect the Mind Stone from Visions head, and give Vision and Wander, supposedly two of the more powerful MCU heroes, a real beat down trying to retrieve it.
Just as it looks like they are going to lose, Steve Rodgers turns up just in time. But it is Black Widow, who jumps in and rather easily betters Proxima in hand-to-hand combat. Now, Black Widow is just a human with some good fighting skills. Proxima is a super powered agent of Thanos, who just gave vision and wander an ass whopping. This happens again later in the film and still makes no sense.
At another major point in the film, Thanos get pinned down and put to sleep by the Avengers. Spiderman and Iron man are trying to remove his infinity gauntlet whilst Drax stands around doing nothing to help. Just before they remove it, Peter Quill lets his emotions get the better of him and he smack's Thanos in the head with his gun, waking him up and then defeating the group.
Thanos could have been stopped right here! If they removed the glove, DR Strange could have sent it off somewhere he couldn't find it. But no, they stand around and either do nothing or aggravate Thanos back to consciousness.
In the battle at Wakanda, the force field was shown to take the impact of a whole spacecraft landing on it. And yet for some reason, if enough aliens throw themselves at it, a few can squeeze through.
Worried one or two may get in around the back, Black Panther opens the field letting in thousands, to try and contain them in one area. This was a really stupid plan by anyone standards as they are soon overrun.
But don't worry, Thor turns up just in time now he has his hammer back after a good old side quest and can use lighting attacks again.
Oh but hang on? Wasn't the whole story Arc in Ragnarok that Thor would realise he didn't need the hammer to become the God of Thunder he was meant to be, and by the end, was far more powerful without it?
But here he needs it again, it's like that story was just ignored so they could add in a side quest.
Also, if Thanos army had these huge digger machines that can bury under the force field, why not just use them in the first place? Come on now.
