<Steve and Tony's heart to heart> - This is the kind of scene that I didn't appreciate enough before now. We needed more moments of these two simply having a conversation.

Granted they did a good job of portraying the friendly rivalry between the two with minimal screen time dedicated to their relationship. They bicker a lot but you can tell they have deep affectionate respect for each other. It's a good example of "less is more" but at the same time it would have been nice to see Cap, Iron Man, and Thor interact as friends more before Civil War.

I also would have loved to see Thor return afterward to put Tony in his place, like in the comics --although that was more fueled by Iron Man's disrespectful cloning of the god of thunder.

<Pierce is a bad guy omg> - I mean it was probably obvious from the start that this guy was up to no good, he just has a villain bearing to him. Maybe that ain't the point, because this was still a wonderfully executed "twist". Pierce is the type of guy who wants to do the right thing but will go to extremes to achieve his misguided goals. That's always a more interesting character flaw than basically wanting to commit evil acts.

This scene is shot perfectly, with you questioning the shadowy figure at the table, making you first suspect that he's there to cause problems. Then Pierce nonchalantly reveals that he's the one in control. And it's punctuated by his slightly regretful murder of an innocence housekeeper.

I assume it would have been cooler without prior knowledge of the Winter Soldier storyline, but who other than my dad didn't know his identity ahead of time?

<Ant-Man lost> - I probably need to give Ant-Man and the Wasp (AMatW?) another try. Since it was released after Infinity War I was expecting it to have more to do with that film, clearly that was not the case. So the credit scene ended up being my favorite part, which isn't entirely fair. Regardless, it sets up Scott's involvement in Endgame, if it wasn't for him being trapped in the Quantum Realm the Snap might never have been undone.

Also thanks to the random rat that freed him, it's as much of a hero as any of the Avengers. Did anyone name the rat yet? If not I declare he be called Randy. Randy the Rat. The hero we needed but never wanted.
