The first half of the movie felt like it was punishing me for trying to have any emotions over it. I start to and them BAM next scene. Hence the bitterness. We would have survived without a few references and cameos for more space. Like, Scott's reunion with Cassie was like 3 seconds. Compared to at least 30 seconds of him and prof. Hulk stuttering at each other about pictures with fans. The editing was horrible.

I don't have a problem with Karen Gillan's performance, just the characterization and stupid plot contrivance of her brain network connecting to itself. (why a network at all for her brain??? especially when they show that thanos needs a physical connection to see what she does. why doesn't thanos just wifi if he wants to? i mean, i know that the real reason is so thanos can butt in on the plot for the final showdown, but really)

OMFG, nearly ALL the Prof Hulk scenes were so fucking cringey. And I may be alone in this but I thought he looked SO, so fake. It was like they printed Ruffalo's face on a green balloon and blew it up. So disappointing after the very expressive Hulk CGI, and Ruffalo's acting in Avengers. It was like they didn't know what to do with Hulk, or more like they didn't care because the studio can't use him in the future.

Just the entire concept of prof Hulk is so baffling to me. As much as I didn't like them, Ragnarok and IW established the Hulk as a separate entity that Bruce can even argue with! And then we get them melding together so both are just gone? With the result he didn't act like either to go on top of the really weird CGI. It's just enough uncanny valley in between Ruffalo and the Hulk that it really made me cringe.

Yeah, it looked terrible, and then the "How do you do fellow kids" scene was awful and WENT ON FOREVER. Hulk and Banner were both interesting to watch, even when Ruffalo was being mostly used as comic relief in T:R and IW. But Prof Hulk was just bland and....dull. They needed him to science some and do time travel exposition and then snap his fingers because "gamma radiation" (....what?), and he was the one person who expressed real rage at Nat's death. (I remember early foilers that he would be still unable to Hulk out in this movie, and Nat's death would send him over the edge.) But for me he really just didn't gel as a character.

So much lazy writing. Though I did appreciate the line that he actually tried to bring Nat back. (BS that he couldn't, but cOnseqUEnceS!!11!!11!eleventyone)
