OML THOR!!!! I laughed so loud! I'm excited to see him interact with the Guardians of the Galaxy.
I really want to know what happened with the alternate universe Loki with the Tessaract...

They sorta created an unwinnable scenario for themselves with her. If she had defeated Thanos, I think there would have been a pretty nasty backlash that this new character, retconned in at the eleventh hour, had saved the day. But as it is, like you said, it's sorta frustrating that it seems like she maybe should have beaten him, and that takes some of the wind out of the third act solution's sails, because the third act solution is supposed to be surprising and inevitable; if we can see an alternative way things could have worked with Tony surviving, the frustration of knowing the other possibility takes us out of the story, and robs some of the poignancy from his death.ElizaPeaks wrote: ↑25 Jul 2019, 08:22 I was also disappointed with Captain Marvel's role in the film. Everyone I knew was raving about how she was going to be the one to end Thanos, and while this felt a little strange due the fact that she was a newly introduced character into this movie series, I was excited to see her defeat him. I understand that she destroyed a lot of Thanos's army and that the fight mightn't have been won without her, but I also think that, if they had chosen to exclude her from the movie, they still would have found a way to make it work. Her role was underwhelming.
I feel like Captain Marvel's main plot function in the movie (which I understand was filmed before her solo picture had even been written) was to bring Iron Man back to Earth at the beginning. Her contribution to the final battle, while crowd-pleasing, could have been written out with a couple of minor tweaks, but getting Stark back home at the beginning of the movie would have been the trickier writing challenge.
I think they had the opposite rationale for giving Pepper Potts her Rescue armor, her helmet was planted in the beginning for a payoff in the end, but I don't think the main reason was for her to fight. It was fun to see her fight and all (although if her contribution to the fight had been removed, the movie wouldn't have suffered), but the dramatic motivation for putting her on the battlefield was so that she could be in close proximity for when Tony died.

I saw that Kevin Feige announced the Fantastic Four were coming in Phase 4...given the challenges with the first two adaptations, I am only cautiously optimistic at this point. The inclusion of the FF opens the MCU up to a WHOLE lot of potential stories.

I was really upset about Captain America (Steve Rogers) end. I couldn't imagine going so far back into the past after spending years embracing the future. It really broke me.
Although Iron Man's end was upsetting, I feel it was a beautiful conclusion to his story arc, so I can appreciate it.

I will say though, I really disliked how they gave Tony Stark a daughter. She was basically a plot device to compound the sadness of his story line. Aside from that, I think it was a good movie. Not the best of the Marvel films, but not at all the worst either
