I know everyone keeps harping on about Quill's dumbass move when trying to get off Thanos' gauntlet, but since I've now seen this with the family 3x, and I saw it like twice in theaters, I've noticed a couple more moments of bad decision making...
1. Cap's whole "we don't trade lives" is fucking RETARDED!!! Vision was ready, willing, and able to trade his life for the universe, but let's instead go with the more complicated, time consuming, and stupid plan of somehow removing the Mind Stone without killing him. One life to save the universe is more than fair. He fucking died anyway! (and yes, I'm fully aware that it would go against the tone of the Avengers movies to allow Vision to commit suicide via Wanda, but I'm talking pure logic here)
2. Why the fuck was Thor fucking around with Thanos' fodder and the random space ships, when the most important person in Wakanda at the time, Vision and his Mind Stone, needed guarding? Aside from Scarlet Witch, who along with Doc Strange is hilariously depowered in the movies, Thor was easily the most powerful Avenger on that field. He could have kept Thanos from getting the stone.
3. Where was Gamorra's resolve? What's the point of taking him to the Soul Stone to save your sister's life, when he mind end up killing her anyway with his engame, and there was far from a guarantee he would even live up to his bargain? He's shown nothing but contempt for Nebula.

This movie should have been called
"Inept super heros vs a purple guy
Seriously I lost count of how many mistakes caused the badguy to win - this movie being the first badguy to win, he had his own merits but fuck
- Star Lord fucked up and hit thanos out of grief losing their chance
- Cap didn't allow Vision to off himself
- Strange gave the green stone away
- Thor "didn't go for the head" and watched as thanos snapped
- Strange didn't use stone to make Thanos a baby or cut off his arm with a portal like he did earlier to Cull Obsidian
- Gamora fucked up - let her sister's torture overtake her
etc etc etc
Lol he's throwing an axe from like 200 ft in the sky, he would have a better chance of hitting the target going for the chest than head. And it's not like he knew that Thanos snapping his fingers would cause that mass extinctionThis movie should have been called

These were people being people
They have powers, but they are still just people at their core. Heroes aren't perfect , it would have been a boring movie if they were
Heroes aren't perfect? What about Rey in The Last Jedi huh!!? Checkmate!Lol he's throwing an axe from like 200 ft in the sky, he would have a better chance of hitting the target going for the chest than head.

Real talk, tell it how it is.
I was explaining to my dad Marvel Heroes, esp on screen arent powerful, majority of them are either advanced knowledgeable scientist, engineers, work the government, and are radiated. Peak would be someone like cap and tchalla. Tbh more like advance steroids in them.
Even thor isnt a god, if anyone recalls in thor 2, odin says it himself, they are not gods, they die just like anyone else. They're pretty much another human civilization but with advance technology through use of magic.
Thats why I like MCU. Alot of there heroes arent perfect, and MCU are notorious for character building through their power levels, knowledge and personality.

"Inept heroes vs purple guy"
Lol, bitch (in a friendly manner) did you not watch 18 movies prior? This was the ultimate villain that MCU has been building up. Plus after all the super hero hype the heroes have been getting, it was a good 180 for the fans to see them struggling.
Sorry bro, just really invested in this lol. Just watched it again and i was still hype as i was first showing
Quick point of order. Dr Strange was not in any way under or de-powered in this movie.
Just sayin'

- Star Lord fucked up and hit thanos out of grief losing their chance
He lost his mother, who he loved and now his only female companion. Hes been seen as a emotional hot head (refer back when GOTG2 when he found out how his mother died)
- Cap didn't allow Vision to off himself
Cap will always do what feels right and stand by his fellow companions.
- Strange gave the green stone away
Strange saw the future and many possibilities. This was the best one. Even not telling stark and others how its gonna play out. He let it be. " "Sorry tony, there was no other way" that was his giveaway and pretty much saying we are gonna get through this trust me
- Thor "didn't go for the head" and watched as thanos snapped
He wanted to make him suffer, die slowly, plus the body is a larger target.
- Strange didn't use stone to make Thanos a baby or cut off his arm with a portal like he did earlier to Cull Obsidian
Easier said than done, Thanos is always 2 steps if not 3 ahead of everyone. Keep in mind hes been battle prepared and will do what ever it takes to get the stones. He has the power stone, reality, to counter the time stone. They couldnt hold him down or take off the gauntlet when he was in a unconscious state, what makes you think theyll be able to cut off his arm or use the time stone on him that easily?
- Gamora fucked up - let her sister's torture overtake her
Gamora loves her sister and always had care for her (refer back to GOTG2)
these are all mistakes everyone goes through.
Thanos is a threat were even making less than %1 error will make you pay.
etc etc etc
Dr. Strange was fuckin awesome in this movie and I hated his stand alone movie but loved him here
Strange stole the show, imo.Dr. Strange was fuckin awesome in this movie and I hated his stand alone movie but loved him here
I'm actually very worried. This movie had it all. As much as I love Marvel, I don't think they can surpass the awesomeness of this one.Im not sure how Marvel could ever make a movie more entertaining than this, but damn I cant wait to see them try.
