I would like to know what Dr. Strange was thinking, but certainly keeps me around for the sequel hook. I did notice a few plot holes, but Marvel being Marvel petty sure they will address them. The first was with Dr. Strange, Why not simply use his portal to always keep one step ahead of Thanos, with the space gem Thanos could teleport too of-course, be he has no way of knowing where Dr. Strange is. With his magic, Dr.Strange could keep playing keep-away, basically forever. The other plot hole was with Thanos, he says he wanted to wipe out half the universe to keep us from over consuming ourselves into squalor and eventually globocide... But one he has all the gems, why not simply replenish those resources, I mean at that point you can literally snap your fingers and replenish all that was lost.

There was also a method I thought of to keep Thanos from ever getting any of the stones the good guys possessed. See the gems have existed since the dawn of time right, so with the time stone, take all the stone you have and warp them back to the dawn of creation, they become part of a paradox and Thanos never gets them, because Thanos did get them and so the gems remain in a constant loop, predestined to never be found.

The film itself was pretty good, Thanos: The Movie, guest staring the entire Marvel cinematic universe. Thanos is that rarely executed villain of crazy, but where you can at least follow his judgment and logic for why he thinks he is doing the right thing. He sees himself as resolving a pending over-population problem, therefore logically wiping out half the universe will balance things out. All the battle scenes with both entertain and gripping; DCCU, that is what it looks like when every hit in an action scene has actual weight to it and you do not just have two shaved gorillas seemingly playing rock-um-sock-um robots with each-other. Using Thanos himself as a ticking clock element to try to resolve issues like Vision existing without the gem added suitable tension. And yes, that bit with Star Lord was suitably heart wrenching. That ending though. I mean sure I know it is basicly just Disney setting up recasting people and placing one mother of a sequel hook but damn. I kept waiting for the end-reveal credits to show how it would all be undone, I was in that much of a state of disbelief.
