I always liked the "Steve is worthy, he just stopped once he realized it so as to not embarrass Thor" when it was suggested here (sadly I can't remember who said it) so it was fun to have it confirmed.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I feel like the Russos need to stop talking. They're JKR'ing all over the place.

I liked that it was deliberately kept ambiguous. It might be true, but it doesn't have to be. And I also think that Joss and Chris Evans have more say in the matter than the Russos.

I think it's a failure in storytelling if you have to keep explaining things after the fact. Insignificant details are one thing, but explaining plot holes is another.

I'm watching SHIELD. I have no idea where it's supposed to be in the timeline of the films.

According to the producers, they're ignoring Endgame. Not sure if that's a good idea.

Since they've already time traveled, they're probably in an alternate timeline, anyway.

Yeah, I don't like that at all. Also, I don't seem to care about anything that is happening in this episode.

Thoughts after rewatching Endgame:
I'm quite convinced of a theory I read here and elsewhere after rewatching that Captain America knew exactly what he was going to do when he left at the end and that he had worked it all out with Bucky and probably Doctor Strange's help so that he wouldn't mess up the timeline somehow. Bucky obviously knew what was going to happen when Cap left and wasn't surprised by any of it.
I didn't cry nearly as much, and I laughed a lot more because I wasn't sitting there panicking about what was going to happen to everyone. I still cried when Tony died and again at the funeral.
I still missed Howard the Duck despite the fact that I was looking for him.
I'm annoyed that Peggy didn't have any actual dialogue in the past. I would have liked an overheard conversation between her and Howard and/or Jarvis.
I caught the scenes that I missed when I had to run to the bathroom the first time and instead left as soon as they were looking at the invasion of NY from the first film. I had totally missed New Asgard the first time as well as Valkyrie's earlier part in the film. So, I was confused what New Asgard was, and why Valkyrie was being put in charge of it.
Thor's storyline wasn't as annoying for me the second time around. I really picked up more of the emphasis on depression and less of the emphasis on weight, maybe because there weren't any giggling teenagers in the audience this time. I still think they could have done the whole thing without the stomach; it would have still worked with the beard and greasy hair and slounge wear.
I love that the film emphasized not once but twice that Peter Quill is nothing special.
I was even more blown away by Karen Gillan's performance. She really managed to make both Nebulas quite distinctive.
That's all that I can think of that stood out for me on second viewing. I may have more thoughts later.
