I can see that, however, I think it was the right narrative decision and that who was left standing after the snap was also great on the meta level. Okoye remains. M'Baku remains. The characters that could be killed for cheap narrative impact and never brought back because they are secondary characters, in other words, survive the battle. I was afraid going in that we would lose them.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Just saw it. Never has the title of this thread felt more appropriate.

I had that thought while watching. Also, at one point, noticed that Tony was with two Peters and that was far.more amusing than it should be

Okay, more thoughts.
Nonspoilery - I thoroughly enjoyed all of the crossover meetups. Every time two characters from adjacent universes introduced themselves? SOLID GOLD. (Semi-spoilery: "I am Groot" "I am Steve Rogers" BWAHAHAHA LOVE. Groot making Thor's ax handle out of his arm? LOOOOOOVE. I am Team Groot.)
I am unsure about the ending. It was on the one hand extremely upsetting, but also weakened by knowing most of them have sequels coming out in the next couple of years?
I was really really expecting Tony to die. Obviously it's worse for him the way it happened instead.
All in all, I was impressed with how successfully this move pulled off having ALL THE CHARACTERS in it, and giving everyone a few moments to shine without feeling like a roll call. And I liked that Thanos had a good meaty arc of his own, which was a relief after 19 movies where he just shows up after the credits to sit in a chair at us. Gamora broke my heart.
Here's a question (spoilery) when they've got him sedated on Titan, why not just CUT HS FREAKING ARM OFF? Wouldn't that have been a lot faster and easier than trying to pull the gauntlet off his clenched fist?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Jessica, yes to your last question! If I had been watching at home I would have been yelling at the screen.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yes! Afterwatd my friend and I were grabbing each other yelling "Cut his arm off! Always go for the head!"
(No worries, we are quiet in theaters.)

I was prepared for things that did not happen, and quite unprepared for many things that did happen.
And now because I am a geek I have to spend the next year trying to figure out how they're going to fix this.

Me too, msbelle. Still wrung out a day later. And weirdly resistant to devotedly thinking about it -getting a lot of other media consumed to distract myself.
Well put, Zen, with the things and preparedness.
