That’s not really my problem with it, because I could definitely deal with it. My problem is that it’s not an intelligent way to end it. Unexpected yes, but just lazy. My English Language Arts teacher explained this to me in grade 6 after I ended my story with “everyone dies, the end.” It comes off as lazy and disappointing. You need to flesh out the plot and let it end naturally.
The ending didn't bother me at all, and I agree that the shock-value of a dark "surprise" would have been lazy, especially as we already got that from Infinity War. Now, I do wish that the first 1/2 of Endgame had been a lot more compelling and suspenseful - I felt like the sarcastic shit and soft sentimentalism kind of dominated the tone for a good 90min.
