Nah. No Way Home was better. The fact that GotG3 is 2nd though from all of phase 4 and 5 is borderline depressing because it wouldn't even make my top 10 MCU films
Infinity War
Ragnarock
Winter Soldier
GotG 1
Civil War
Endgame
Avengers 1
Thor 1
Ant Man
No Way Home
(The IM movies are trash. It is known. This is the way. Other applicable pop culture references)

I wasn't a fan of the Spiderman Trilogy or the Amazing Spiderman films so wasn't fussed about the gimmicky multiverse aspect but No Way Home was still better than anything else in phase 4 or 5 (not that that's saying much though)
I think Endgame gets a lot of bad reaction because everyone had their own ideas of how character's arcs should have ended (I, for one, have really disliked how Hulk has been continuously gimped throughout the entire Infinity saga and hoped it was because he'd finally be unleashed in Endgame. Instead he just got even more gimped and from what I've read, She-Hulk continued that to the nth degree) Other people obviously didn't like Cap or Stark's endings
When those multiple competing expectations aren't fulfilled then you get a lot of disappointed people.
With phase 4 and 5 it seems everyone is disappointed with everything 😂
The volumes of utter trash they are churning out now is unreal. It's not even surprising because you only have to look at the phase 5 directors to see that almost all of them have almost no pedigree and what little they've done previously is almost all mediocre, unknown failures.

Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
You can always tell someone who builds something great is a genius because what they built is proof of that, it's a lot harder vetting people to be successors to that genius.
Or put another way, anyone can run a kingdom after someone else builds it. Anyone can do it poorly.

I didn't care about any of that. I'm more of a casual viewer and just thought the writing was lame and predictable. Where Infinity War was fun and exciting and imaginative, Endgame was completely dull, depressing, and uninteresting. I guess it ticked some fan-service boxes, though. And I haven't noticed it getting much hate. It's typically hailed as one of the highlights of comicbook movies. I think that must be for the fan-service comicbook orgy fight at the end? Because I can't think of any other reason.
yeah, endgame was shit. I agree. The fights in these things are nothing like comic fights though. Zod vs Superman was far nearer in comic fights as was Avengers.
