The scene where they were all fighting was done wonderfully. The thing I loved most was that it wasn’t the main centric thing to the piece; it was the distraction. And the way it was light-hearted and jovial and down-right hilarious. They show-cased the new characters well. Loved the way spiderman was running around fanboying whilst also kicking ass. (Side note: it seemed really off that his string was apparently stronger than the super-powered people (but apparently this is canon)). So much of the film was so hilarious while also being poignant and moving.

It was a brilliant move to have the big fight scene as the culmination of Act 2 instead of Act 3. Most action movies save the big fight to the end, but in order for it to really feel high-stakes, the tone needs to be grim and sombre. This battle was fun, and the audience wanted it to be fun, so it needed to be in the middle. It gave every superhero a chance to crack wise, show off their skills, and battle hand-to-hand with their "opponent" without anything really being at stake ( ( ... )

Oh yeah definitely, it was so much better in act 2 than it would've been if it was in act 3.
