That's an interesting way to unsnap. So we have families where one kid is now 5 years older than the siblings? What about all the people who remarried, or got evicted, or what have you in those 5 years? Every job position was replaced, and how many people lived in buildings that no longer exist? Every kid in SpiderMan 2 got snapped? Or is that why Ned's girlfriend is out of nowhere, because she was in fourth grade during the last movie?
Iron Man - I don't care? Downey's had such a weird connection with the universe, essentially being written out after his first contract ended with Avengers 2, and being the defacto villain for half the time, that I just don't feel anything. If anything, I'm actively annoyed that he's still smarter than everyone, a better blacksmith than the dwarf giants, etc.
Cap - Yeah, it was predictable, but it was still effective. Seeing Cap finally break out Mjolnir was great, and technically, they can still do prequel movies with him in the 40s/50s/60s if the franchise flags. What's weird is I think this was set in stone by the time Ant-Man rolled around - they obliquely mention "her husband" in regards to Peggy in a way that sounded pointed even then. It is odd that Peggy's niece never met her uncle, however. Though I love that Bucky knows what Cap will do before he does it, and I guess if we are following the comics, Captain Falcon has to happen before Captain Bucky.
Thor - And here's where everyone hates this. On one hand, Valkyrie is literally one of two named Asgardians that are believed alive, the other being Sif - but why the hell would Sif not take precedence for the throne vs. someone who abandoned Asgard for literally centuries, if Thor wasn't alive when Hela was around. Not to mention the hammers establish that Thor is still worthy to rule. Fat Thor is amusing and not really that out of character, but if Hemsworth hadn't agreed to more movies, this would have been a wet fart of a sendoff for him.
Black Widow - I understand what they are going for, the least two powerful characters out of the bunch are literally fighting over who gets to make the ultimate sacrifice, but she's been such a non-character that I just don't care. Her relationship with Banner is strangely unmentioned here.
Hulk - It was always going to be awkward, as I believe Universal has the rights for any solo Hulk movie, but "Grey Hulk" was an underwhelming mess, neither serving as coda to the character or effective in its own right. I'm half convinced they did it just so Ruffalo can do motion capture for a day or two in any Marvel movies going forward instead of actually appearing on set.
Captain NoPenis - Not as annoying as I feared, though her power level is still off the charts compared to anyone else. Her getting owned as soon as an Infinity Gem got involved is a proper power level. The Lady Force sequence was far more cringeworthy.
Alt-Loki/Gamora - That's going to be weird. Or is Alt-Loki even around, or are we in another another timeline now? Speaking of which, how can Nebula shoot herself? Honestly, I'm actively confused by what the rules are.
The future - I mean, we know there'll be more Spiderman / Doctor Strange / Guardians / Black Panther in the future, but I'm not sure if I'm more surprised or appreciative they didn't clog up the goodbyes with ads for next year's product.
P.S. Who was the boy(?) at the end on the right in the mourners just before it pans to Captain Marvel? Was that the kid from Iron Man 3?
P.P.S. Gotta love that the Winter Soldier section has another Community cameo.
