Okay, the ending was unintentionally hilarious. You know how movies are often lambasted for a dying character taking too long to die and giving a long speech before doing so? Well imagine a movie where there is a montage of dozens of people slowly dying for about 10 minutes!!! I was glad I didn't watch this in theaters, as I couldn't stop laughing.
Now, a big problem this movie has is that you instantly know the "core" Avengers will live. By that, I mean you know Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, and Hawkeye...and sure enough...they do.
It's the second tier heroes that perish the most...
Also, gotta question the idiotic tactics of Wakanda. Okay, we have a line of spears that act as guns and we're fighting primitive creatures that only have melee attacks....we've narrowed them to a single tight entry point where we could shoot them....nope....everyone, forget your guns and charge!!!!! Should we at least put the superhero melee fighters in front? Nope, send the disposable peons!!! Idiots.
The only person that seemed to have any tactics on the Avenger's side was Thor, who was right to get the weapon made. Honorable mention to Wanda Maximoff, but the fact she sat her butt on the sideline until literally the enemies reached her made no sense.
Another big problem with this movie is that there's like 100 characters. Each time a new one shows up, I have no idea what their powers are until they do them.
On the plus side, the humor was well done. Particularly Spiderman/Ironman/Guardians of the Galaxy.
Did anyone else find the deaths unintentionally hilarious?

Yes! I’ve been saying this for two years.
Peter’s, “Mr. Stark I don’t wanna go” or whatever the fuck the line is always cracks me up. The person I saw the movie with was so mad at me lol. People still get annoyed when I mention how hilarious the whole thing was.

It was pretty silly , for a franchise known for fake deaths, it sets up a very messy Endgame film , which is another mixed bag

When I first saw this in theaters, I sat in complete silence as the heroes were being dusted away. It was chilling and I did not laugh. I knew coming out of the theaters that the heroes would be resurrected, but I didn't know exactly how at the time.

Pish, nonsense. This movie contained possibly the most superhero deaths in a single superhero movie. Heck, they kill off a bunch of main characters right in the opening scene.
To complain about this movie "not killing enough" makes me wonder if people knew they were actually watching a superhero movie or if they mistakenly thought they were watching GOT.

That doesn't sound right. Black Panther killed twice , Nick Fury killed twice, Gamora killed but back from another time, half the Avengers killed in IW and back, Coulsen killed and brought back on TV. Loki died and in new tv show.

Loki died and in new tv show. I dunno about that. Only two examples from there work: Fury in Captain America: Winter Soldier and Coulson, who's been dead for years despite being on TV.
Hm, yeah by now maybe it's a franchise known for faking out deaths. But only after Endgame would that have come about. Oh and Loki in Thor: The Dark World.

You don’t need to put a spoiler warning in the title. The movie came out three years ago. I think pretty much everyone here knows what happened in the movie.

When I saw it in theaters, I liked it but didn't love it. But I did enjoy it better the second viewing. I remember liking Endgame a lot more when I saw that in theaters but now I think I prefer Infinity War over Endgame.
