    5.) A nitpick. The bit where Wasp says "Got it Cap" (or was it "We're on it Cap?"--I dunno) was another moment which came off feeling weird and artificial.  We clearly missed Wasp being introduced to Cap. Or if not introduced, at least a moment where she reveals she's fangirling and always wanted to say something like that.

    Kromm, i was under the impression, that this was meant as a wink and a nod to Ant-Man 2, when Hope made fun of Scott for his fangirling of Cap and his willingness to accept his leadership without question. And here she is doing the same. At least that´s how i took it.

    Tony could use it because it could kill him (and thus, he gave up his future with his family, so he gave up that which he most loved).  Maybe if Clint had tried to use it, he could have without dying because he had already made his sacrifice: Natasha.  

    That goes to one major problem i had. From how i understood it, you needed to sacrifice what you loved to get the stone. Clint and Natasha both actively fought to not have that happen. They were both willing to die themselves, and Natasha managed to hit the ground first, to put it very flippantly. So Clint suffered an enormous loss, a loss he had tried to prevent by killing himself. I thought you had to give someone up (as Thanos/Gamorra showed, which was about the opposite of how Clint/Nat solved the thing) and live with what you did. For me, Clint didn´t sacrifice Nat, he was unwilling to sacrifice her, but he lost her. That that was enough to win him the stone was confusing to me.

    Also, for me the sacrifice did not extend to the use of the stone, it was just the way to procure it. Did I understand that wrong? I mean, Thanos used it a second time when he destroyed the stones, but what did he sacrifice then?

  2. Longtime lurker here, but planned to come out again for this. Went to a midnight preview last night and loved it. My level of regard for the MCU might be read from the fact that i crossed the big 4-0 some years past and still went to work 3 hours after leaving the theater. And yes, i felt too old for that shit, but damn if it wasn´t worth it! From funny to sad, silly to hilarious, filled with so many throwbacks that you´ll still miss/don´t recognize some even if you can recite the movies backwards, and number of gratifying crowdpleasers make it feel to me like a true climax for the story so far. There were a few things, which didn´t seem logic to me and i´m looking forward to reading some explanation for that. I´ll come back with more later, need a little more time gather my thoughts. And get some sleep.

    That said, there's something right near the end that pisses me off. It's emotionally appropriate, but not logically correct.

    I felt similar about something like that, Anduin, i wonder if we mean the same thing. Let´s see if i can figure out messaging.
