Captain Marvel in the film is essentially muscle. She wouldn't bet that useful in the time heist deal. Or rather, not required. I was okay with her limited scenes. With how powerful she is, I'm curious moving forward what would even pose a challenge to her.
I've always felt that the MCU was overrated. Iron Man was great for 2 thirds and then botched the third act, none of the Thor movies hit the mark, and even the best of the others were mostly good popcorn flicks and nothing more. Endgame is the first movie in the series to feel like more than just a vehicle for explosions and funny one-liners.
I watch some of them because they're awful and I get more entertainment out of them (the old Captain America gets better if you watch the Nostalgia Critic's review of it), but some of the older stuff are just generally better executed. Bill Bixby's Hulk in particular remains the definitive take on the character for me...and the 90s TV Movies with Thor and Daredevil are solid amounts of cheese.
Another thing... I was kind of hoping we'd get the classic Thanos petrification thing, but instead he just got dusted. That was a bit of a letdown, but still a minor one. I give Endgame a solid 9.8 of 10. I don't think there's ever been a better superhero movie and... sadly... I don't think there ever will be in my lifetime. I've never watched a movie that's had this varied an emotional response. There's never been a movie that's made me laugh so hard and cry so hard for as many reasons, almost at the same time.

If ten years of recording The Young and the Restless for my mother have taught me anything, it's that characters in serial dramas are always happily in love...until they're not

Regarding the lightning, the deal is whosoever blah blah blah shall possess the POWER of Thor.
Which essentially got nerfed quite a bit in this outing. I mean in Infinity War he takes down Thanos while the Titsn has the full power of the Gauntlet, but here he can’t even handle a weaker 2014 Thanos.
I wonder how many female audience members are going to feel ripped off with fat Thor. LOL.

Bless that Super-Soldier Formula Steve looked Fantastic for about 122 or so, just going by years lived not frozen since his internal clock probably stopped then.
He was born in 1918 got frozen in 1945: So 26 or 27 depending on the month frozen.
Woke up in 2011 and lived in the "Present" till 2023 so add 12 years.
Then reunited with Peggy about 1950 or so, so another 73 years till he saw Bucky and Sam at the end of Endgame.
If Nebula killed her younger self then she shouldn't still be alive.
Also, if the soul stone death is permanent then how come the younger version of Gamora is back. Also, if Gamora was brought back then surely Black Widow could be too. It sucks that the Black Widow movie is just gonna be a prequel now that she is dead.
How can Thanos die twice in the same film? It just doesn't make sense.
Also, where was the older Cap all this time?
Peggy was left waiting for the dance but now the dance happened anyway...
What I really liked about the movie is that it dead feel like a comic book story and a lot of the scenes reminded me of comic book panels.
Hippy Thor was funny.
I liked that a lot of the characters got to have important with the people who have died so they got some closure around their loss, like when Thor spoke to his Mum, or Tony speaking to his Dad.
I loved the final battle when all the heros were there. It was cool seeing everybody altogether and I love that Pepper was a hero in the film at the end, that was awesome.
I'm curious about what happened to the past version of Loki though that disappeared with the infinity stone.
I liked New Asgard and it is cool that Valkyrie is now in charge of it.
It was awesome Korg was back too.
What has happened to Sif though? I don't remember seeing her in the final battle, although there were lots of heros so I may have missed here.
I definitely want to see the movie again but all of this has been on my mind haha
