obligatory sequel and broader mcu setup in the final ten minutes aside i thought this was strong. didnt notice many of the pacing or script issues people have been citing in negative reviews.

for me i find that it kept all the things i like about marvel (big scope, fun powers, the superhero family trope and humor that doesnt get guardians of the galaxy level annoying) and combined them with chloe zhao’s style and the recurrent themes in all her movies that i already love. win win!
