Well... having seen it... Yeah, I liked it. It has glaring flaws (right from the get go I might had. I mean, I'm not the only one that saw how wonky Thanos's animation was in those first few minutes right?) but I liked it. Especially because of how it painted Thanos as the one entity that, along with the stones, is a match for all the Avengers and then some in all aspects.
I too wonder how the heck they're going to take him down in A4 besides Carol straight up Superman(woman?)-ing him after everyone else brought him down in a desperate fight. Or with a calm reflective contemplation of the meaning of life (I would seriously pay a round of coke to everyone in the room if the ending was someone sitting down and watching "Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life" with Thanos and him undoing everything because of that), whatever serves the plot better.
I was surprised to see a lot of names getting the axe at the end though. I understand that that's how it should be, but the MCU is shockingly deficient on Cosmic-level fighting power so taking any decently sized names kinda makes me scratch my head as it would make everything in A4 seem like more of an asspull. I would be fine with Spidey, one of the GotG and one of the tech heroes + Bucky going but that seemed a bit too much to me. DC doesn't have as much of a problem there (Supes, Shazam, GL's, etc.) but MCU needs definitevely some more big powerhitters to make this interesting. (yes I know I didn't mention the Hulk. But the Hulk to me always seemed "too strong for humans to handle, too weak to be a cosmic-level threat").
Anyway, looking forward to Capt. Marvel and A4 now.
