CMV: Avengers: Endgame was a worse film than Infinity War (Spoilers Inside)

#WARNING: SPOILERS

I thought Endgame was worse than Infinity War for multiple reasons. Firstly, Thanos, a deep and well-reasoned villain, was reduced to shallow evil by bringing back his 2014 self who was far more bloodthirsty. 

Secondly, the pacing of the film was worse and many moments could have been cut to preserve the same momentum that Infinity War had. 

Additionally, the characters of Thor and the Hulk did not receive satisfying character arcs as Hulk's most important development was skipped over in the time jump, and Thor became the butt of fat jokes instead of examining his depression. 

Finally, the power levels were inconsistent, hurting dramatic tension, such as when Thor, who previously mortally wounded a six-stone Thanos with Stormbreaker was unable to even dent him with both Mjolnir and Stormbreaker.

Thanos was never really well reasoned. He put on a good show, but everything was always about his ego. He thought he had the solution to his planet's problem and they didn't use it, then his planet died. His entire goal is to prove he was right about culling the population. Once the past version learned that it didn't work, his facade broke and he showed how crazed he was all along.

The pacing may have been slightly worse, but it was very similar to infinity war. A few side quests that meet up for an epic final fight. The only real difference is that they needed to wrap up more stuff after the fight in endgame, which made it feel a little like the multiple endings in lord of the rings.

> Additionally, the characters of Thor and the Hulk did not receive satisfying character arcs as Hulk's most important development was skipped over in the time jump, and Thor became the butt of fat jokes instead of examining his depression. 

I agree that Hulk could have been done better, but Thor has a compelling arc. He goes through complete failure even though he did kill Thanos, and it shows the depths of his depression with how he is drinking and not leaving the house. Then his conversation with his mother helps him realize that he isn't happy because he has been chasing some ideal version of himself that he can't and doesn't want to live up to.

Someone else in the thread has point out that Thor was very clearly out of shape and not at full power, while Thanos is not overconfident this time and probably in the best fighting shape of his life since he hasn't fully committed to his chair sitting phase.

For Ironman, he was fighting someone with one weapon that had a glaring weakness in Infinity War. Thanos had to be able to close his gauntlet to use it. So Tony exploited that at every opportunity. Without the stones Thanos had no armour or weapons to use against the best Ironman suit Tony had ever made. In Endgame, Thanos is in full combat gear and is not relying on a weapon with a weakness.
