Oh and also! I loved
America's Ass and really most of Captain America's moments. And Ant-Man's total Cap fanboyishness. Also Loki looking confused and then gleeful when the Tesseract basically falls into his lap.
And, as though just to reinforce this feeling from Infinity War,
the Soul Stone logic makes no sense because no one sacrificed anyone! I guess you could make the argument that Natasha loved herself? But the guy says "sacrifice something you love" and Clint absolutely did NOT sacrifice her. Rather the opposite. I'm starting to think we shouldn't trust the floating red guy. Maybe the trick is just that somebody has to die and this is his way of keeping visitors from saying, well then why not you? He's probably the first one to keep this job for more than one visit.
I loved the moment when I realized that the movie was three hours long
so we were actually going to see all the missions.
Geometrical complaint:
How the fuck do you invert a mobius strip? HOW?
And I really liked Black Widow's hair. That's absolutely not a spoiler, I just liked it both ways.
Speaking of hair:
Brie Larson totally rocked the current comic hairstyle.
Emily, I disagree with
Clint absolutely did NOT sacrifice her.
Because he consciously decided to let go of her hand. It may be worth asking if it would have worked if either of them had unilaterally jumped and died without the involvement of the other, but they gave him that beat, which, I think, counts.
Deb, it looked to me like she
pushed off the cliff and yanked hr arm out of his grip.
Huh. I'll have to keep an eye out when I re-watch because that is not what I came away with.
Side-note: "Debet", please. Deb is someone else.
Emily, I had the same geometrical complaint.
Okay, Debet, that's a possibility. Although
indeed the whole bit leading up to that with each of them trying to jump off wouldn't seem to count, which would be kind of a let-down. "So... I have some bad news and some other bad news about our mission."
And I really liked Black Widow's hair. That's absolutely not a spoiler, I just liked it both ways.
It took the internet to tell me this, but of course
the red is Natasha's natural color, which she had just grown out for five years.
See, Jesse, I figured that, and I liked that it told a story through hair! Because
yeah, I can see Nat not feeling like doing all the playing with color she'd been doing before. Girl is seriously depressed.
