Finally got to see this last week; whew boys what a ride. Cannot freaking wait for Captain Marvel. #donttellSlayven
Had to avoid ERA and the internet in general for a good while because folks won't stop chatting up the movie in the most unrelated places imaginable... biggest hype I've ever seen for anything, movie or otherwise.
Everyone's rolling out with their own personal funniest moment, and that's all good - but can we take a minute here to appreciate Okoye's fierce as fuck stink-eye she gives to Banner when he trips while running at full charge in the Hulkbuster armor? Holy shit, I was dying. Desperate for a high quality gif of that right now, lol.
This redneck dude had his phone on for half the movie (I could see the light from the screen flicker on in my peripheral vision) and when the lights went up he audibly spoke out among the silence: "I ain't never comin' to another one'a these Marvel things agin!!"
Ninmu kanyrou, Feige-san.
Also, somebody yelled out "Bye, bitch!" and single clapped when Star-Lord disintegrated.
That joyous albeit brief moment of warmth made enduring that whole sequence more palatable and ultimately a little less sad overall.
Spidey, Groot and T'Challa especially though... ;_; I really can't see anyone but Tom Holland as Peter Parker / Spider-Man now, he was just so damned good.
I *really* wished there was a small scene or two of the Earth bound Avengers contingent reacting to a walking talking tree and bipedal raccoon creature toting a big ass gun popping up out of the blue, though. You'd think something weird of that magnitude would give them a moment's pause, even in the heat of battle. Poor Rocket. He and Thor have both been on the most brutal of journeys throughout the whole of the MCU, and I hope he gets a lion's share of screen time in the follow up.
Going back for a second viewing before this week is over, hopefully. I want to soak more of the background detail in this time and commit a deeper dive into Thanos's side of the conflict.

All right, all right... I confess, it was me.
I did the Iggy. I find the character incredibly insufferable at the best of times and this movie reminded me why.
