Before Joss Whedon fumbled AoU, he was supposed to be THE Avengers director, which meant he would have eventually been the director in charge of IW and Endgame. How would these two movies look had he been director?

He’d probably make it a bit less emotional and just have Infinity War be one whole movie with the two films combined to make for a trilogy.

Marvel already had a fourth Avengers movie scheduled for 2019. They wouldn’t have let Whedon toss those plans aside.

They dialogue would have been light years better and the third act would have had the Avengers saving civilians and acting like superheroes. Thanos and his men would have been a lot less boring and their motivation would have probably made sense. The Russo's were the worst possible choice to direct in my opinion.

The problem is that Joss Whedon has openly stated he didn't know what to do with Thanos. I suppose with help from the producers and Kevin Fiege, Thanos would have been more ominous. Whedon definitely would have handled the Hulk's story arc a lot better than the Russos did since he seemed to understand the character better. I'm not sure if he would have continued the Hulk-Black Widow romance arc, which I'm glad the Russos dropped. We probably wouldn't seen fat Thor.
The normal Whedon tropes like the snappy one-liners and comic book-inspired staging would have been there.

I think it's fair to say the Russos knocked it out of the park with Thanos.

I think it's fair to say the Russos knocked it out of the park with Thanos. I don't believe that's what Whedon meant. I think what he meant was that he didn't know what was going to happen to Thanos at the time he included him in a post credits in Avengers. He didn't know how Thanos was eventually going to tie-in to their universe. That's understandable since that was very early in the MCU. The Russos wouldn't have known what to do with Thanos at that point either.

It's just not as in your face as it was in the 1st 2 Avengers. It's there in Ragnarok, Infinity War and Endgame. I think they just got to a point where they have moved on from being a couple at the end of AoU.

Yeah, it's still there, and the screenwriters stated they tried to work it into the scripts for Infinity War and Endgame. The scene of Black Widow's reaction to seeing Bruce for the first time in three years and Hulk throwing a chair in anger to her death is all what we got. However, Whedon works differently than Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, but I like to think he would have gave it more closure.

Probably less jokey overall but otherwise I'd have no idea.
