SR seems to put out an article daily about how upsetting it was Valkyrie wasn’t in the movie

Her monochromatic costume and acting, along with her vague powers and fighting style, were sorely missed.

So, the horde attacking Wakanda were symbiotes, right?

yeah....I'm sure they'll work all that in to part 2.....I mean maybe if rian johnson takes over and they need an irrelevant b plot



Yeah, it seems unlikely, at least for her...

but then, who expected Rocket and Groot to become featured characters?

It sort of does make sense (at least, enough to make me wonder about it);
the majority of the cast will be dust until the end of the film. That does leave room for more additions.

They're telling us Captain Marvel is in it, I WOULDN'T be surprised if they give us someone unannounced. Easter egg, if you will.

It wouldn't be irrelevant, actually. Stark, Banner and Thor are aware of Strange. Stark knows he's gone. Stark and Banner also are aware of Wong. Makes absolute sense for them to seek out Wong, for any type of help/angle they can get from the wizards.

Wong doesn't have the juice to be truly helpful; but Clea would. It's already established the Ancient One increased her power by tapping into the Dark Dimension; Clea, being from there, would already be powered up.

You can do it up right, and it wouldn't take 15 minutes from the story:
Surviving Avengers go see Wong for info, early on. They're barely there and talking when Wong's eyes bug out and he announces the barriers have been breached, someone is coming over from the Dark Dimension. Wong thinks it is Dormammu returning after Strange has fallen. Avengers strike a pose and ready themselves to fight.
Clea comes through (hot chick with silver hair, in case you're wondering), announces herself as a non-hostile, and demands to know how Dormammu (and half her realm) has been destroyed.
Avengers state is was Thanos, they are not in league with him, ask her intentions.
She then says that this CAN be undone, but that will revive Dormammu. Clarifies "is it worth this to do?"
When they agree it is, she then agrees to help do one thing (a spell, or divining something), but says that if it works, she must be prepared for Dormammu's return, so adios. Leaves something for Wong to give to Strange, in the event it works.
End of scene, move on (and set up a future Dr Strange film in the process).

Like I said, I don't really expect this, but it could happen. they almost certainly will go looking for Wong, or at least should. He's the librarian, he has arcane knowledge (knew about the Infinity Stones), they definitely should try to learn whatever they can.

edited to add- now that I think about it, I can see Clea appearing, and Stark making a Ghostbusters quip (nods to Thor, and says "we have a god here, Zule. Don't make us cross the streams"). Seems totally in character for him.

I don’t see them spending any time introducing a new character of any consequence. They didn’t have the time to feature or even include all of the characters that they currently have.

The additional villains in Infinity Wars were great but were fairly one dimensional. There was just no time to even minimally flesh them out.

Ruffalo was the only part of this movie I had a slight problem with. It wasn't enough to really bother me, but His acting was horrible at the beginning. When he's telling Tony about Thanos for the first time I almost laughed in the theater.

You have two movies and two sets of post credit scenes between now and next May. It can be done...

You want to introduce the mystical backstory of Clea in the science based Ant-Man & Wasp and the cosmic based Captain Marvel?

That would be a record scratch of deafening proportion in either film.

Yeah Ruffalo was pretty bad. Not to mention the horrendous Cgi when he's in the hulkbuster

Didn't really care for the thunderbolt Ross scene either

I think BW had a month's worth of orgasms when Thor showed up. I know that look.

Non Hulk Ruffalo was bad throughout and technically he had the 2nd biggest role in the movie.

Loved every bit of the movie. Thanos actually got pity from me. I kind of understand his point. Obviously death affects him. All those lives actually do put a toll on him. Gemorrah shows that he can care.

If we’re listing our nitpick issues, I didn’t like whatever Dinklage was trying to do with that extra scruffy voice. We know from GoT that he can be really good at portraying suffering, but that voice took me out of the moment.
