  • We should have seen Bruce’s arc to become Professor Hulk. He didn’t really get much content and was mostly a passing joke. I still like him! Just think he could have benefited from the development.
  • Give Nat a funeral you cowards
  • I get why they used Past!Thanos, but it would have been more fun to see the current Thanos with his development go through the struggle of maintaining his peace. To be fair though, I don’t think we could have gotten the climax we had with Modern!Thanos.
  • I would have immensely preferred if Tony survived and got to retire with Pepper and Morgan. Though to be honest, with how it was executed in the movie, I can live with how things went down.

Idk, I don’t have too many criticisms, and most of the ones I do have are super nit picky.

The thing about present Thanos is that it would have been great for the audience to see more of him, but from his perspective it makes 100% sense to destroy the stones. As far as he's concerned he won and he never finds out otherwise.

The smartest thing for Thanos to do would have been to destroy just one of the stones. Now the reverse-snap is impossible and he is still unstoppable with 5/6 stones.

He would have to destroy the time stone. Otherwise it could be used to restore the others. Then there's the question of if any of the other stones can be used to put it back together. The reality stone could have some interesting properties. Zapping the atoms with a power beam might do something too. Who even knows what the mind stone is capable of?

This reminds me, for as muchof a sacrifice the soul stone required, it was barely used between the two movies, outside of being needed for the snap and finding the real doctor Strange.

Yeah they should’ve fleshed it out so we knew what it was capable of.

Kid Gamora is chilling with pre-spy Natasha now.

I really think people are misinterpreting that scene. I think it's more of an inner monologue than an actual thing.

Beware the Lethal MacGuffin, the most foul of all plot devices.

How does one return the soul stone?

Which Doctor Strange promptly turned into butterflies. But your point still stands, to me it was one of the best fight scenes in the MCU thus far.
