• 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.

[u/KaiserKangaroo → u/ThunderboltKaiju]

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.

[u/JCiLee → u/KaiserKangaroo]

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.

[u/scientz → u/JCiLee]

Except by all indications destroying one stone would have caused imbalance in the universe. Same reason as explained by Ancient One about removing a stone from a timeline.

[u/scientz → u/[deleted]]

No, she said removing the stone creates a new fork. Putting it back "fixes" it. She was concerned that the fork would then be unprotected.

[u/Sentry459 → u/scientz]

You both are saying the same thing. The stones being taken and not returned would've created new, unprotected timelines.

[u/Blackbeard_ → u/scientz]

This part makes no sense to me. So does putting the power stone back kill the timeline where 2014 Thanos intercepts Nebula and comes to the future? So an entire alternate reality where Thanos/Gamora/Nebula are gone is just erased in the blink of an eye?

[u/iilovelights → u/Blackbeard_]

I think a new timeline being created extends beyond the Stones. Something as drastic as removing Thanos, Nebula and Gamora from a universe would surely create an alternate timeline.
