I was fully expecting Captain America to die - not before wielding Thor's hammer - but I thought he was a dead man for sure regardless. Very surprised it ended up being Iron Man given his 'almost death' in Infinity War.
Also pretty surprised at Black Widow's demise, I knew nothing of that and wouldn't have predicted it.
Professor Hulk and Fat Thor....I laughed when they wanted me to laugh, I did....and yet I have misgivings about those. I think we all kinda want traditional Hulk rage hero moments and this film had....
none at all to my recollection. I assumed Hulk's lack of appearance in the Wakanda battle was because they were saving him for something special in this film and I'm afraid Professor Hulk didn't really cut it. And Thor...again, yes I do laugh along - as I did in Ragnorok...but I also can't help but be very aware that the character didn't start out like this and I feel like it is such a shift that it should be noticeable to the other characters in the films. If new jokey Thor was acknowledged within the movies I might find it more acceptable but right now it's registering as an inconsistency to me. And I really would have had the hammer restoring him to his peak appearance - I thought it was a bit silly seeing beer-gut Thor fighting against Thanos.
Cap's ending was bittersweet. I was glad they didn't kill him but his decision to essentially retire and what he did with that retirement raises questions which I'm not sure they'll ever address.
I loved the Back to the Future II part of the film, particularly the New York stuff. The Thor 2 segment was funny but again, they were lucky to retain any pathos at all with the jokey/clown version of Thor they're running with now. The stuff with his late mother was good and yet possibly could have been even better if they'd taken those scenes a bit more seriously
What else....oh, is this the first MCU movie to kinda sorta recognize one of the TV shows by including the Jarvis actor from Agent Carter as Howard Stark's chauffeur?
