I'm putting my thoughts here so that I can link here and not spoil anyone on social media.
Two big things bothered me.
1.) For "Five Years Later," there was way too much mess laying around. I know half the population was gone, but I'm pretty sure that people could would have cobbled together some cleanup crews in that time. Maybe there would still be some cars on some less populated streets like we saw, but there is absolutely no way those boats would be allowed just to accumulate around Ellis Island. I'm also pretty sure the MLB would still be in operation but even if it wasn't, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't just let the stadium fall into disrepair.
2. The "Girl Power" moment was ridiculous. It took me out of the film for a second. It didn't make any sense. Wanda had just had her "big power" moment (which had been a long time coming, in my opinion). Carol was still having hers. I guess they felt like they needed to share those moments with the rest of the female cast? I don't know. It just didn't make sense that all of a sudden all of the named women would converge in one spot like that.
Otherwise, I thought it was fine. I'd heard from several people that it "doesn't feel 3 hours long," but I have to disagree. It could be because I was seeing it at 8:20 Sunday night. I never exactly felt bored, but there were definitely moments where I grew impatient and was ready for the story to get moving.
Lastly, I'd been joking for years about how "fat Thor" was my best cosplay option. Now it's totally viable and canon.
