Yup, it didn't feel like 3 hours to me ... I enjoyed it too.
Time travel, is always going to be wibbly wobbly timey-wimey, in whatever series it plays in ... it's always going to be difficult how you want to set the rules, or in many cases set them and break them as you go along. This happens in Dr Who, Star Trek (most recently in Star Trek Discovery) and of course now the MCU.
I loved spotting all the Easter eggs too. Cap vs Cap was well choreographed and scripted, as was the elevator scene. ... and Cap and his support groups. I loved it!
The main time travel quibble I have is Gamora and Nebula. If the original Nebula was killed ... and then the Old Gamora before the Soul Stone event, before meeting Quill, the build up to that meet ... uhmm yeah like you said - best I don't think about it too hard. At the end of the day the Guardians of the Galaxy are together again (which is good, because I love the Gamora/Nebula dynamic) and does that mean Thor will be travelling with them should Guardians 3 ever get filmed ( is a little hmmm with me because won't there be too many alpha males on that ship?) .
I'm kind of glad for Cap and his happily ever after, but does that mean 'Civil War' doesn't happen (which could be a good thing) or... how does it work?
I had expected it to be Iron Man's swan song, so I wasn't cut up too much about it - I was sad for Peter Parker though ... but Natasha's death hit me quite a lot harder than I thought it would. Perhaps because of all of them she is (I suppose this literally as well as figuratively) she is the most human - perhaps I love Clint Barton for the same reason too. Although he is very much quite a different character in the comics from long ago. Which brings me to gush about the fact that Hawkeye was in the film at all. I have a thing for minor characters. (Although I can see his devolution into a psychotic assassin going after the world's mobsters in retaliation for losing his family ... would the comeback from this dark place been so easy ... again really? I always feel - because of my bias I guess - that his stories are never dealt with satisfactorily. I also do realise they probably don't have the time so yeah I am quibbling. Ahahaha! )
I can't say too much about Antman and the Wasp - I never saw the films but from osmosis I know enough, nor did I see the Spiderman film or the first Thor one.
Freya and Thor ... that wise beautiful Asgardian witch. That scene was so much love.
.. and yes ... how they set up Loki for his series was pretty clever.
A lot of things to love about the film. A lot of other jumbly thoughts as well. But I suppose the scope of it all. A lot of folks are going to feel like that.
