    I think they just forgot the lessons from the earlier movies. They had action but there was a lot of build up so it meant something.

    Now you’re just straight into a boring fight scene with no stakes. And somehow the bigger the stakes the less there are because you know they can’t fail.

    And now even the rare consequences can be undone through time travel and multiverse bullshit.

      That’s the whole thing with Infinity War, they failed hard and that made it a wild story.

        I think they fucked up having Endgame the year after infinity War. Should have left it five years or so, and had things happening in between. I feel we missed out on a gritty R-rated, Punisher style, Hawkeye there. It should have had consequences that were left to feel for a bit, rather than instantly going “magic bullshit go” and reversing it all.

        But they fucked that by having Spidey get dusted, so they had to bring it back quick otherwise how would they explain how Tom Holland had gone from looking about 14 to being a man.

          I do agree we missed a bit of ronin Hawkeye action, and such. They don’t really have an interest in comitting to going that dark.
