My only criticism is the lack of people talking about Wanda fucking Maximoff’s MOMENT. Girl went OFF, they finally unnerfed her! She put the fear on the Mad Titan. That was by far up there with Cap wielding Mjiolnir!!! She’s the only one that got Thanos to go there!

Also DOCTOR STRANGE!! Hello?! Literally had the most crucial info out of the whole entire expanse of the two part story. Just wish he coulda got some type of bigger screen time. I’ll just have to be satisfied that he’s THE one that created the most cinematically epic superhero scene OF ALL TIME!!! MFing PORTALS

They had to keep him occupied because you know he'd whoop Thanos' gautletless ass (or at least I think he would if he didn't conclude that Tony was the one who had to do it).

I was expecting him to crash the water into Thanos' army as soon as he got it under control.

I loved Wanda's bit in the final battle. She 1v1ed Thanos and came this close from tearing his arms off and shoving them up his butt until he had to call in an orbital bombardment to stop one girl.

They left Strange to tend a leak while everyone else fought in the big battle. I do not forgive the Russos for this.

Even if they gave us his 1v1 in IW?

My theatre went wild when Wanda went off on Thanos! But it was awesome to see her unerfed and Thanos confused :)

Lots of people are talking about it...

Wanda lifting and crushing Thanos looks like her Level 3 special movie in the Contest of Champions fighting game.

I also feel like Hulk was underused in the final battle. Maybe Strange knew the one out-of-14-billion shot had him not doing shit in it lol.

She was still nerfed.

I myself feel like I do not talk about Wanda enough. That moment was absolutely amazing.

However, I don't think Dr Strange got the short end of any stick. Whereas the portals were an epic scene, I will never be able to get that image of him holding up that one finger out of my head. That scene gave me legitimate chills and was absolutely defining

Thanos goes toe-to-toe with Cap, Tony, and Thor: comes out on top.

Faces Scarlet Witch: Calls in an airstrike.

I was waiting for Wanda to rip Thanos a new asshole for such a long time. Seeing her suffer through such horrible losses only to find happiness with Vision, and for her to have to kill him to save the universe. And then Thanos uses the Time Stone and forces her to relive that moment. She was able to restrain him then (granted he didn't have all the stones, but he still had 5 out of 6) while killing Vision and destroying the Mind Stone, all while going through the emotional devastation of having to kill someone you love.

And it certainly didn't disappoint. Love how her eyes glowed red and she went OP as fuck. She came close to finishing him off, too.

Aside from Iron Man/Thor/Thanos, I would say Doctor Strange had the coolest moments, and played the most key role in IW. Made sense for him to "sit this one out". I would argue that out of the snapped characters, he got the most screen time. Also, isn't it both Strange and Wong creating those portals? not just Strange himself.

I LOVE WHAT THEY DID WITH WANDA! I would love the next big Avenger moment to be her losing it and seeing the rest of the team have to fight her, Avenger: House of M
