I agree with many things you posted here and still am disappointed with this movie. The bad felt too heavy for me to just brush it away and really like it. I did like quite some things.
But: - Tony's death (no matter how good it was handled), - Thor becoming a cartoonish version of himself nobody took serious (get him help you idiots instead of rolling your eyes) really got to me and I'm not even a big fan of him. - Bruce seemed also not himself. Did he lose brain cells while making peace with Hulk? - Nats death was great for the feels but why didn't Nebula tell them about two going to that planet and only one coming back? - Why was Carol so absent after Tony's rescue? I really wished she had more moments than the few she got (though that haircut was awesome). - last but not least Steve. He's my least favorite and still I didn't get his character arc at all. Yes, he's was back to being the nice guy here and showed a sense of humour I didn't know he had in him, but he barely talked to Bucky. His pal for whom be split up the band of heroes he was in. Instead he stared longingly at Peggy's pic all the time and went back into the past and leave his 'till the end of the line friend' back in the future. I have so many issues with this even though I think Steve is a do-gooder with a limited sense of right and wrong.
Phew, I stop now and am sorry for rambling in your journal like this. This movie really rubbed me the wrong way. I...just stop.
But I'm looking forward to whatever fics you'll come up with for Peter and Tony (fix-its it not). :D
