Part II is indeed terrible, but the third Hangover is pretty great.

This is no more substantive than complaining about all the straight single women in rom-coms. Males are half the population, and fatherhood is an efficient way to dramatize and personalize motivation in a 120-or-fewer-minute feature.
Wasn’t the second half of the actual Harry Potter series bogged down in excessive Marauders stuff already? What more is there to learn or explore? The other crushes the characters may have briefly had? That one time some of them played Quidditch? That awesome Triwizard Tournament that didn’t happen? How Slytherins…
It’s not amazing at all - Christopher Tolkien, who was old enough to not care about money, got too old (and later deceased) to remain in charge of the estate, and his children decided that, yes, they would like to get very rich by signing a few pieces of paper, thanks very much. Just think of all the glitzy things and…
No mention of/comparison to Buried, which also employed some inspired photography for its subject in a small box?
“Many adults say...” - Stop right there. “Many adults” aren’t top SWORD agents. You can keep on saying/implying, over and over, that it’s, like, totally reasonable to hold high-ranking officials of top secret organizations to the same expectations as the general public when it comes to being mindful of organizational…
Oh, piss off, Ray Winstone, you were in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, where only Shia LaBeouf gave a decent performance, and whose ensemble acting is outclassed by just about every MCU flick, including Rourke’s.
I figure that timeline’s Sorcerer Supreme just gave him a shove, but it was a one-way ticket. Maybe? Who knows. Either way, Sam and Bucky sure privately talk and act as though he’s croaked.
“I think the Russos said that it’s canon” - it ain’t canon until it’s on screen.
“he could have just returned to that timeline” - with what? The Time Stone he returned to The Ancient One? His reality-hopping superpowers?
Yeah, it seems like we were promised that the Disney+ series, unlike the ABC/Netflix/whatever shows, would substantially impact the universe as we know it, but after these first two seasons, the only major thing someone watching only the movies would miss is the introduction of White Vision, and there’s no guarantee…
But Sam and Bucky privately talked about how he was “gone”, which sure sounds like dead, rather than “catching up on Grey’s Anatomy in a cottage upstate.”
Or just not set the finale in NYC. What about Chicago? Paris? Geneva?
“Dora Millaje had their own problems with the untimely passing of their title character” - You’re criticizing the show’s writers for not foreseeing the (then-) future passing of Boseman?!
Ever heard of Pepper Potts and Morgan Stark? Betty Ross? MJ? Aunt May? Nebula? And these are just non-Agents of SHIELD, off the top of my head characters...
Lame bad take is bad, and lame.
Karen Olivo threatened to leave a successful gig because the broader industry tolerated an a-hole she wasn’t even directly associated with? I’ve never heard of her, but I think she just won badass of the month, handily.
“It’s not the same thing, but many people” - no, it’s not. She works for a highly secretive intelligence organization, so she should expect rigorous security measures, especially after a universal cataclysm that lasted five years. Period.
“As far as she’s concerned, she was just at work a couple of days ago.” - If she’s too stupid to expect that, after five years of not existing, she might have trouble just waltzing into a top-secret security organization with no new check-in process whatsoever, she has no business working for a top-secret security…
