Avengers Endgame was A+++ and worth watching whether you're familiar with the rest of the MCU or you've only seen the first part, Avengers Infinity War.

After having seen too many YouTube videos discussing the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), I have a few take-aways they've neglected. I love this movie, but can't help but share my nitpicks and criticisms.

1) The arms dealer billionaire as hero still bugs me.

2) Despite the United Nations Agenda 21 pushing people into little "sustainable" urban prison boxes urban housing projects, the rural bucolic life seems romanticized and idealized for family lives of the rich and famous superheroes. Everyone has 40 acres and a farm. Go figure.

3) Tony Stark has billion$ and doesn't consider fostering propaganda, cultural engineering, and developing a sustainable cooperative fair and free culture where there's more to life than consumerism, fame, and fortune. He could foster free education and healthcare of his own devising, or better authentic democratic devising, with the freedoms to pursue other options. He could squash the hierarchy in virtually no time to foster more fairness, freedom, and less debt slavery. Allow the benefits of technology, leisure, and freedom to benefit all. That would be a true hero.

4) Tony Stark doesn't share his nanotech and nanotech suits with the world. They could have an IronMen army to restrain Thanos. If not an army, then at least all of the Avengers could have suits for those who may wish them, to be able to fly at minimum.

5) Doctor Strange looked at over 14 million versions of the future and only one worked out. I suspect 13,999,999 of Tony Starks other sperm turned into spoiled snot-nosed brats that Tony didn't feel like sacrificing himself for.

6) Tony Stark's "sacrifice" was to save his kid. That's heroic but still selfish.

7) Tony Stark's "sacrifice" was conditional to keep his kid. Meanwhile people suffered miserably for 5 years. Many people died of natural deaths in that time. The people brought back would never get to say goodbye to those who died. If a person's life is about 80 years, 5 years is still 16% of that life, without someone important. The better thing to do would be to restore the ash people right after the disappearing in the second timeline to minimize suffering. Then they could jump back to the first timeline and restore the ash people, again, 5 years later, as this timeline was already written and would also need correcting.

8) I had conflicting feelings about the women superheroes shot shoehorned in. If more natural I would have had no problems.

9) Not thrilled about Thor's PTSD and fat shaming for yucks. Could have been yucks and serious too.

10) Captain Marvel = Mary Sue. Would have liked more of Scarlet Witch. They should be equals.

11) Falcon as new Captain America is okay, but he's not a super soldier. Bucky would have been better.

12) I'm curious to see where Phase 4 of the MCU goes.
