It's so interesting to see people react to things like this so long after I first saw them. A fan-person is neither late, nor is she early, but arrives precisely when she means (or is meant) to.
I will say, from the first scene on the Asgardian ship, the first time I saw it I was completely thrown for a loop and didn't entirely find my footing again that whole viewing. It just didn't feel like an Avengers movie - the tone and basic feel of it was all wrong. On reviewings I latched more on to the things I did like (the whole dynamic between Strange-Tony-Peter is just delightful throughout for me), and as much as I cringe at the basic illogic of Thanos's "plan," I found his relationship with Gamora thoroughly chilling in a good way. There were bits I quite liked, but still, the whole didn't quite hang together for me - it was too dark and too self-aware of that darkness to have the hope and fun I've come to love from Marvel movies, I guess

Thank you yes!

Peter is precious. Strange and Tony are like two cats twitching their tails.

(nods) Yeah. Particularly since Thanos wasn't considering his affection for her to be a weakness as villains often do. Then again, he didn't let it be a weakness. I'm of two minds about the Soul Stone actually requiring one to kill a loved one in order to gain posession of it. That's kind of sick.
it was too dark and too self-aware of that darkness to have the hope and fun I've come to love from Marvel movies, I guess.It's like the end of "The Two Towers"; all is gloom and loss. But it isn't the end of the story
