The wipe at the end is the opening of the comic storyline they were presenting between the two films, and it absolutely advances the arcs of those left behind. And is there something wrong with doing something purely for the drama? Movies aren't always only about individual characters. In fact, Game of Thrones would have been doing itself a service in its final season if it was more holistic in its approach to worldbuilding, rather than crafting moments for the sake of progressing characters to arbitrary ends.

Well yes, but I wouldn't compare Game of Thrones to Marvel in that sense. Tony's guilt at Peter's death didn't hit me in IW. It got to me in Endgame, seeing his interactions with his daughter and him realizing how Peter was reflected in that. That's when I cared about the "Mr Stark I don't feel so good".

In that sense I think Endgame does a much better job at worldbuilding; it needs only a couple of shots and scenes to give the image of how Earth has('nt) moved on post-snap. I love the scenes with Steve and Nat, counterbalanced by Tony living the life as much as it can be lived in that world.

Neither do I agree with diminishing Thanos' and his army in Endgame; they were already a joke in IW. The torture guy got taken out VERY easily by Tony, Strange and Peter and the lady warrior and her friends also jobbed pretty hard in the initial fight with Vision, SW, Cap and Nat and later on against Nat, SW and BP's captain.

I mean, in their 'defense' I also think they were shafted in all the internal arguments between the MCU and Marvel TV. Those final scenes in IW just reek of having been planned to include AoS, Defenders, maybe even Runaways and C&D but those shows were so detached from the movie universe they couldn't get connected.

How paralyzingly dull, boring and tedious!
