Personally I feel like every single arc in Endgame lasted a bit longer than necessary. It really didn't need to be that long.
Regardless, most Marvel movies are very mediocre. Endgame and IW are a few of the actually great ones imo, so at least they managed that.

Yeah, because Thor should remain the same confident self he's always been after watching half his people, including his brother and the one remaining close friend he had, die at the hands of Thanos, with nothing he could do to stop it. It was pretty obvious Thor was going to suffer from some sort of mental disorder from Infinity War already, what with his dialogue towards Rocket about how all he needs is rage so that he doesn't have to focus on anything else.
Hulk's dab was stupid, but it's a stupid on the level of a few seconds that, not including it, wouldn't have realistically changed the scene in any way.
Only change to movie I would have made would be to not have another Infinity War-level fight at the end, making it more about the Time Heist stuff. With how they were "fine" with making up whatever time travel rules they wanted, they could have picked another way for Gamorra to come back.
You misunderstand. I'm not saying I disagree with Thor becoming depressed from everything that's happened to him (although I do think it wasn't well-executed), I'm saying there was no need for yet another arc of "Thor loses something and needs to deal with it".
Fun fact originally Hawkeye’s character arc belonged to Thor but they thought it was too much of a retread and decided to break him instead
Punisher Thor?
Thor being a fat drunk loser is them preparing him for Guardians of the Galaxy 3.
But which of them gets first crack at the BowFlex?
Actually they were just responding to my yearly complaints that I want to dress up as Thor for Halloween but keeping my diet in check all year for the body was just too hard

I can understand that, but I saw it as more that depression isn't something as easy to end with a single moment of triumph.
Thor's breakdown actually is reasonable, not only because of all the lost that has piled up, but because he screwed up in the heat of the moment, going for revenge by causing pain and not aiming for the head, allowing the first snap to happen. It is one thing if you are powerless to stop something, but another when you have the power, but you fail because of your own reasons.
Despite all this, I'm glad Scott is around since he actually lift the atmosphere and changes the whole mood of the film.
Unrelated to Endgame, I finally got around to watching Into the Spiderverse, and man it was amazing. I'm not gonna debate pros and cons between movies, and perhaps it's futile to try and analyse it, but I just had so much more fun watching it compared to any other Marvel movie I've watched in recent years.
shit BL says
Once and always and nevermore.
One of the few recent superhero movies I was actually excited to see, but didn't. Argh.
It is, but the writers could have done something different. At the very least, they shouldn't have used it for comic relief so much.
The jokes might have been a bit heavy handed but I think it was supposed to tie into the "don't worry about what you or anyone else thinks you SHOULD be just be the best you that you are" arc of his plot this time

Of course they probably also just wanted to lighten up the movie given how comparatively grim it is and fat jokes are low hanging fruit, so, maybe it's just that after all and I'm giving them too much credit
The actual comic relief is Scott, which is pretty over the top when he is the key person to turn the tide.
I agree Thor being a comic relief is pretty badly done since he is obviously suffering from a serious case of PTSD here.
Scott's gravitas all comes from his family interaction. Having no one (Tom Holland) to bounce off of hurts his chances at being serious near Avengers or having any chemistry.
After watching the first couple MCU movies last September I've spent the last week watching more. Still not done, but up to Homecoming I think it, IM1, Cap 2, and GotG1 are my favorites so far.
This weekend I watched the Dark Phoenix movie, and holy fuck, 2 attempt, 2, is not possible they can make a Jean Phoenix more interesting that a piece of cardboard?
Right? And what's more baffling is that Claremont's writing is rarely (if ever) subtle, certainly never during the Dark Phoenix arc.
I think part of the issue is that they jump straight to Dark Phoenix instead of taking the slower route.
It turns out that having the guy that wrote an abysmal Phoenix Saga Adaptation in The Last Stand write the new Phoenix Saga movie was not a great move!
What a shocking twist!!!
