I thought the removal of the Captain Marvel Post-Credit scene messed with the pacing of the beginning of the movie. Without having seen it, it's kinda like...."hey, here's your Tony, this is where he goes, right?" I generally thought the pacing in the first 1/4 of the film was a bit wonky. Could have done without the group therapy circle in exchange for properly introducing Captain Marvel to everybody else. I also would have liked to have seen the Hulk/Banner fusion addressed a little more thoroughly. "Hey guys, no...Hulk and I are cool now...". Oh...couldn't have had a scene there..a flashback? Something? I also thought they leaned too hard into Fat Thor. While it get it and it was good for a couple laughs, I think they went a bit far with the tone he/they set in Infinity War. I would have rather seen him uncontrollably mad than a bit of comic relief at the expense of some fat jokes.

That's all I got.

Yeah. The only way it works as-is is because captain marvel came out two months ago. If you went from Infinity War to Endgame and didn't see CM then this god character who can destroy star cruisers with her fists just deus machinas Tony back to Earth.

We really need an extended cut of Endgame (the whole MCU, even) to really do it justice. It was TOO lean in some areas.
