First things, first. If you liked this film, I envy you your experience, but I certainly don't begrudge you it. If you had fun and loved this film, good for you. The fact is that I did what I should never do and actually looked forward to seeing this film with great excitement and anticipation. Even after a few friends of rare good judgement (visionsbeyond for

84 years later I read your review here lololol but anway it was a great read and you really dissected it perfectly ;)

Alas, what I saw was a an extremely unbalanced film that was a disservice to nearly all the main characters
Unbalanced film yes! I like the relationships between all the characters though. My favorite scene was when they're all sitting together after the party and casually chilling. I wanted more of those bonding type scenes :)
The movie yep did lack the depth and weight like for example Winter Soldier which was a very emotional film at it's core. Exactly what we need from Marvel now that the characters have all been established.

This film does less than any of the other films that have come before it (except possibly Thor 2)
Thor 2 is my least favorite in the MCU. What a complete waste of wonderful characters and CGI.

Agreed about Vision and Ultron. Their motives and origins were not properly explained. It all felt rushed. I only liked Ultron because of James Spader's voice lol

What is Natasha's function in this film? She calms down the Hulk. She flirts with the Hulk. She wants to run off and live quietly with the Hulk. There is that embarassing flirting scene at the bar at the party. Ugh.
I don't want to talk about Natasha because there's nothing to say after her character was completely BUTCHERED in this film. I hope DC does a better job with their ladies in Suicide Squad and Batman vs Superman. Marvel has taken Black Widow for granted for too long.

Two words: Auntie Nat. Those two words reveal so much about Natasha's relationship with Clint and his family.
I liked and hated this both. It definitely showed that Natasha/Clint shared a close bond but after all the romantic hints in The Avengers the fact that they won't get involved romantically made me super unhappy.

I can only hope that Ragnarok will be an immense improvement.
And I don't care if it's bloated . I just want it to be epic and with a big emotional payoff.

Steve Rogers: Well, on the one hand, he was not too ill-written. A bit joyless and I was disappointed that after his searching for a home and a purpose, this film essentially has him saying that he will never get a home and so will just keep working for SHIELD.
Yeah and it sucked that there were no major references to Winter Soldier. There was no continuity from any of the previous films. Anyway I have hopes that Civil War will be great and give us all the good Steve stuff we deserve! I have hope! Can't wait for Wanda in this film too.

Marvel originally had planned for a romantic relationship between Natasha and Hawkeye, which explains why everything in every previous film points toward that. Whedon apparently did not want to take this route because he wanted to show that men and women could be friends without having sex. Ok. Fine. What does turning around and pairing her up with Bruce prove?
ALL OF THIS MAKES ME SO ANGRY! I will never understand Natasha/Bruce. Nope.

I finally saw you comment on here and I had to laugh at your outrage regarding Natasha, Natasha and Clint's abruptly curtailed relationship, and the imbecilic mess that was Natasha and Bruce. Ugh.

Thanks for reading through this ramble :)

Did you see Ant Man yet?
