Tin's thoughts are exactly my thoughts so just read his post again here.

I agree with Reg agreeing with tin.

When Stark was fighting Thanos and getting his ass kicked, I was legit thinking "no not Tony, no please!" 

Which took me by surprise. 

Anyway, overall I really enjoyed it. Think Marvel did a good job of pulling off the film, each team's bits felt like they could be from their own film. I.e. when you're with the Guardians, it felt like a Guardians film. When you're with Iron Man and Spiderman, it felt like Homecoming etc. 

Thanos was an excellent villain. Really understood his motivation and you could actually see his point and his side, like others have said.

Marvel pulled you off?

Thanos is the only person with big enough hands

Now the biggest opening weekend of any movie ever.

I don’t think Gamorra is dead, I don’t think she ever was. I think that was merely a test of Thanos and she’s fine somewhere. That or it’ll be part of the next GotG bringing her soul back or something.

Loki, Heimdell are full on dead’s for me though.

I thought it was great. Absolutely nailed the feeling of an marvel crossover event. These things typically build in comics for at least a few months before, so it often starts seemingly in the middle of some events. Ludicrous stuff happening everywhere, all your favourite super people meeting each other and having the sassy bants. Strange was great and they've established him really well from just one film. There's a trade-off between telling a good story and having this unprecedented scope but they've manged both without too many compromises. I don't know how long passed between Strange, Iron man and spider-man getting on the space doughnut and then returning to their story inside it. It felt like an hour at least.  None of the characters had that much to do but what they did do all felt important. 

The hit to miss ratio of the jokes was about even. They are trying much too hard now. Since the first GoTG there's an expectation that these all have to be hilarious and they'd get a better response from me if they focused on quality rather than quantity. But for every star-lord deep voice moment or Drax being invisible, some good stuff comes along pretty quickly to make you forget about it. That said, there weren't any deathly silences in the cinema at any of the bad gags though. Everything got some form of a laugh (unlike the 'please hold' Last Jedi routine which everyone seemed a bit embarrassed by). 

There's lot of stuff in this film and I liked lots of it. I liked Drax getting diced and Mantis getting noodled and Star-Lord's bubble gun and Spider-man's Iron Spider suit. I like that they've gone full Aladdin's carpet with Dr Strange's cape. Thanos throws a fucking moon at Iron Man. A moon! (That bit actually wasn't that well done - it was just a few rocks raining down in the end but good effort). 

The big flaw is the final act where you wanted it to get going and instead there's a long weapon crafting sequence and a pointless reworking of the Battle of Naboo. They just wanted to have a dramatic backdrop for the final bit and fill it with fights and action. Thor's axe thing might pay off a bit in the next one. I suspect he'll end up killing Thanos with that thing (by following Thanos' own advice and chopping his head off, probably with an infinity stone or two embedded in it). At that point, in hour 6 of this story, the time spent establishing the power of the weapon will pay off. It will matter less that they spent too much of hour 3 building it up. That's if I'm right. Otherwise it was just a bit pointless seeing as it did nothing in the end. 

The RLM guys posed the question why subverting expectations works here but not in TLJ, they half-answered it but not completely. In this, you imagine Hulk is going to fight Thanos and you probably also think it will be an epic moment right near the end. Instead, BOOM here it is, it's short, it's brutal, it's what you want, it tells you the baddy is a fucking beast and now let's kill some of the cast. If Rian Johnson was directing this, you wouldn't have had a fight between Thanos and the Hulk, it would be implied you were a prick for wanting it and instead Thanos wouldn't be a baddie after all but just trying to teach Hulk a lesson about following the chain of command.

What happened to Nebula in the end? She escaped but did she show up on Titan? I cant remember

She's keeping Iron Man company on Titan, if I remember correctly.

Gamorra might be in the stone or something. Vision might possibly come back, due to Wakandan magic tech. But the others, yeah, they dead.

The only possible way I can see Loki coming back is if we do Kid Loki, which would be awesome, but I highly doubt would be done.

Everyone who turned to ash is within the soul stone, which contains a pocket universe, which will be accessible in some way via the quantum realm that Ant Man will explore in his next film. Captain Marvel, Adam Warlock and Ant Man will find a way to bring them all back. Something like that.

Boom. Because where the fuck was Ant-Man? They can’t keep him out of both Grand Finale movies.

Surely we can count on Hawkeye to save the day.

Maybe he'll shoot an arrow which Ant Man can ride over to Thanos, before burrowing into his ear like the horrible brain worms from Star Trek.
