<p>1. I understand Tony's death completely with his whole sacrifice arc, but if I honestly wanted someone else to use the Gauntlet and save the day, the logical choice would have been Thor since if Hulk used it again he'd be dead for certain.</p><p>
</p><p>2. Scarlet Witch since she's more powerful than Thanos and continues to learn more control over it and she has a personal vendetta against Thanos after he killed Vision in Infinity War. They even addressed this when she faced him off during the final battle.</p><p>
</p><p>3. The Avengers New York battle to me was set up in a cohesive storyline and implemented all of the plot lines and characters really well into the end of the film, and it truly is an iconic moment nowadays.</p><p>
</p><p>Infinity War's Wakanda fight felt too all over the place but after Thanos arrived it become a personal confrontation and the Thanos's push towards the finish line was executed nicely.</p><p>
</p><p>Endgame's final battle for Earth was heavily enjoyable as an epic spectacle, which is the first thing I say to describe the film to anyone, but it also felt as a means of cramming everything the MCU has to offer all in to one huge CGI slugfest instead of the more grounded and realistic atmosphere to IW's Wakanda fight. The entire film was an epic for certain, but it wasn't correctly interwoven like Infinity War was and decided to instead focus on nostalgia and fan service as the selling point to the film, which is completely fine but there needs to be layers to support it and I feel it didn't stick on its landing.</p><p>
</p><p>Overall, I think I would rate Infinity War's Wakanda fight first, The Avengers New York battle second, Endgame's nostalgic CGI slugfest battle third, and AoU might as well be fourth as it isn't all too memorable unlike the rest.</p><p>
</p><p>4. If there was truthfully only one superhero I could have alive it would probably be Iron Man. I feel like I relate the most to his character and the arc he's had across the films, despite how I feel his death in Endgame wasn't deserving enough.</p><p>
</p><p>5. My favorite character out of the three would be Erik. It's truthfully just because I find Jane to be too arrogant of a character that hasn't changed or gotten over Thor and Darcy is just a depiction of the MCU's comedy as a means of selling a PG-13 superhero movie, and they still kept it up with IW and Endgame which didn't land well in contrast to serious story threads and reversals of character development like in Thor's case.</p><p>
</p><p>6. Hawkeye was really heartbroken, I don't think anyone else truly had that level of emotional connection they shared as friends other than Steve. Banner / Hulk seemed pretty upset but I would have preferred if he actually went on a tangent instead of just throwing a bench across the lake.</p><p>
</p><p>7. I was never a supporter of the whole "Loki is alive after Infinity War" theories. First a shadow and then you think he's Banner yet the Russos said he was truly dead and he was. With the alternate timeline in 2012 Loki escaped with the Space Stone and by the end of the film Cap put all the Stones back, restoring the native timeline, but the time-travelled events take place now in an alternate timeline, one in which could be explored in Loki's TV series as Feige stated all Disney+ Marvel shows are set after Endgame, which would include the creation of the alternate timelines.</p><p>
</p><p>8. I find Ant-Man funnier simply because he's just a regular dude making regular enjoyment out of life, whereas Drax was made as an adaptation of a joke machine, especially in Vol. 2 and IW.</p><p>
</p><p>9. Thor has already proven himself to be more powerful than the Hulk in Ragnarok and I feel he would have been best suited to use the Iron Gauntlet at the end of the film if Tony wouldn't have sacrificed himself, while Captain Marvel was given her powers by being blasted by the Tesseract, an Infinity Stone. Yet, the same Tesseract blast was used in The First Avenger and incinerated individuals as it should. I personally feel Captain Marvel is also made out as the MCU's Superman archetype who doesn't show any true sign of weaknesses that stand in their way, while Infinity War alone showed the MCU's most powerful and well developed characters with Iron Man, Scarlet Witch, and Thor.</p><p>
</p><p>10. I personally like Shuri more as she's just involved more so I'm used to her character more, but I feel both of them are used too much for the MCU's standard comedy.</p><p>
</p><p>11. Winter Soldier by far, he's the one whose had the most in-universe training as an assassin and sleeper agent while Black Panther's action scenes outside of Civil War felt too typical and Captain Marvel didn't get into any real physical fights to show any badassery but just flew around a blasted any enemies away.</p><p>
</p><p>12. The thing I would have preferred the most out of Endgame would have been the lack of setting up legacy characters. Legacy characters usually haven't worked since they've for the most part been about taking a decades long iconic character and reimagining them with a small different trait, and Marvel usually does this with race and gender, especially with All-New, All-Different, and that didn't do well for sales. If Marvel wants that future for the MCU films and shows, like making Valkyrie rule over New Asgard and admitting that Thor can't lead his people despite fully showing that he can in Ragnarok or passing on the mantle of Captain America to his second sidekick Falcon. I get it that characters need to move on and that Endgame really is the ending of a saga for the characters we have grown with for the past 10-11 years, but that idea of losing what has built the franchise up a passing it over to basically a replacement is really unsettling and for original characters like Iron Man, Thor, and Hulk, I feel their exits didn't have a full respect to their characters, while the Russos did a fabulous job on Captain America, Black Widow, and Hawkeye, though I'll still be wary for legacy content like the Falcon & Winter Soldier show and Hawkeye's series with Kate Bishop, actually a character who was great in the comics like Miles Morales was. It seems the newer legacy characters from All-New, All-Different don't land well, and if the MCU sees that as the necessary future it wants to go down, I've already decided to leave the most part with the original cast and characters.</p>
