So when it comes to creating really good stakes you need to create a situation that is realistically solvable within the confines of the universe, while still making the opposition equally realistic. Infinity War did this in spades.

However Endgame comes along already carrying the stakes from the previous movie. They don't need to raise the stakes anymore. However by reducing the stones to atoms and killing Thanos. They made their problem unsolvable by realistic measures. So they resort to time travel and explain why it won't cause any problems at all. Leading to half the movie being completely void of stakes, until Thanos shows up in the present. Which brought back the stakes, until Hulk brings everyone back. Leading to the big battle that is literally just cool action moments. The heroes are so much stronger than Thanos' army it's not even close. Scarlet Witch and Captain Marvel alone can handle Thanos without the Gauntlet.

It might seem like I hate Endgame, I don't it was a fun time, there was cool character moments and how they handled Tony was perfect, but I feel like it didn't even come close to Infinity War
