The thing is, Thor isn't a person who would abandon his responsibilities as a king or his people after Thor 3. Possibly in Thor 2, sure. He actually mentions that he doesn't want to be a king. But after Thor 3 and Infinity war he's grown, he saw Loki & Heimdall sacrifice themselves so Thor could live. But in all those incidents he wouldn't let him self go just like that. He just wouldn't. Remember when he lost his hammer, father, hair(lol), finds out he had a sister who's really evil and he got casted out as a slave in trash planet? Did he let him self go? NO. Because Thor is someone who continues to walk forward no matter the failures and mistakes he had made. He destroyed his own planet to save the Asgardians and still had hope to carry on. Then in Endgame where Valkyrie, Korg, and the survivors of Asgard returned, he just chucked away his responsibilities and whines about his the one who killed Thanos and blah blah. He's trapped in self misery which is out of the past 10 years of characterisation. He actually doesn't have the reason to give up! Not to mention How Russos used Thor's PTSD as a comic device and fat shamed him the entire movie for the sake of humor
For Bruce Banner, in Infinity War the Russos didn't give any chance for Hulk to actually fight until the end after he got beaten in the first act. I thought there would be an important reason for that which would be explained in Endgame. BUT NOPE. The struggle of Bruce identifying his alter ego is just one and they mixed the two together. We didn't even got to see how the hell did that happen. Russos were like 'here, this is canon accept it even if we showed & explained nothing for you' in our throat. Also, Bruce banner is one of the smartest scientist in the mcu yet he struggles so much on the Quantum realm sutff and in the end, its always Tony Stark who saves the day with Bruce banner not being able to solve anything. I really prefered Whedon's Bruce Banner & Hulk more than Russos'.
For Natasha, I found it really creepy on how Russo brothers kept sacrificing the only female member of the team (Gamora in original GotG, Natasha in original Avengers) for the sake of 'sacrifice the LOVED ones for the sake of greater good' in Vormir. Also it just doesn't make any sense. If they wanted the soul stone then didn't Nebula forewarn them that there should be a LOVING sacrifice? Again, plot hole. Natasha's sacrifice was unnecessary and was just full of plot holes. But then I thought, fine. I guess they're starting to kill off all the original 6 avengers one by one starting with Black widow. But nope, just her and Tony, who got the most screen time and emotional scene with most dramatic exit ever happened in MCU, but not Nat. Didn't you find it odd to see when Steve said Avengers assemble and there was no Black widow? Or the scene where all the female heroes stand and there is no first female superhero in the MCU? Didn't you think that Black widow's death was totally unnecessary and was just wasted as mere plot device? Or she didn't get that grand funeral that Tony got or just NO FUNERAL AT ALL. I mean you can say that 'Oh I'm pretty sure that Nat had her tombstone too and everyone's mourning for her as well!' But did we see that in the movie? NO. It's just Clint and Wanda mentioning her for 3 sec then boom. End of the movie
I agree Joss Whedon was horrible in AoU with her character but I really liked Nat in Avengers 1. And in terms of female characters, at least Whedon didn't make Wanda to wear Corset through out the movie. The suit at the end of AoU had no corset which Russos just ignored... Also he actually cared for Bruce Banner & Hulk which Russos just used him as comical device in IW and Endgame. And Thor... god I just want to cry on how they concluded the story line like this. Tony and Steve had glorified ending but Thor who's the big three of the MCU was just unacceptable
At least Whedon wouldn’t ruin Thor & Banner’s character just like that or he’ll kill off female character so pointlessly… Seriously, there’s so many plot holes in this time travel shit that Russos failed to explain. Are they even the same directors who directed Infinity war???? What the fuck happened?? I think marvel will never be able to surpass Whedon’s Avengers 1. And yes, I am this desperate. It’s like Sherlock season three all over again. Directors starring themselves& their family members in the movie, taking up time and not enough for the actual characters. I didn’t pay to see your face or your children
I don’t like how everyone loses their minds and just start hating even before they see the movie when hollywood whitewash an ethnic minority character and doesn’t bats an eye when they change a white character’s ethnicity to ethnic minority. Everyone claps and thinks it’s a good thing or it does justice. Want a white character in the film? Don’t change the existing character’s ethnicity. Create a new white character that he/she deserves. Want an Asian/Black character? Don’t change the existing character’s ethnicity. Create a new ethnic minority character that he/she deserves As a person who’s an ethnic minority, this has been always bothering me
Natasha Romanoff
I didin’t draw it, it’s just something I made in a phone app haha
