I'm confused. First you say that Tony gets the "best and only good story line," but then you say he's "the worst part." Those two statements feel inherently contradictory to me.

But also, I disagree with both. I think Tony's storyline was the best part of Endgame, but I also really loved Nebula's storyline. It took her from being a character I was minimally invested in to a character I want to see way more of. I also thought Nat's role in the movie was really strong and compelling. The only criticism I have is that they should've given her a funeral, but other than that I thought she was one of the best parts of Endgame.

I think having 2014 Gamora end up working with the Guardians, including Quill who is still grieving losing Gamora, was a really interesting choice, and a distinctive way of complicating a relationship that was pretty bland and by-the-numbers from the start.

I thought they were too OTT with Thor and pushed too much for him to be the comedic relief, which I didn't really like, but he's obviously going to be in more movies in the future, so it didn't seem like a super big deal to me that they missed the mark with him.

The only character who I can somewhat agree wasn't handled well is Steve, and I actually liked his role throughout 95% of the movie. Unfortunately those last few minutes felt poorly thought out. But even there, I can see why a lot of people like his ending and felt it was fitting. It's just not what I personally would've wanted from, or for, the character.

nayrt

Tony gets the best storylines at the expense of other characters In the ensemble pieces. Which means it's great if you're a Tony fan, not so great if you don't like him. That's why Tony is the worst part of the ensemble casts. It's not difficult to grasp. It's as if you went to an Iron Man movie and the story was all about Pepper, or Happy, or Rhodey. You'd feel cheated out of your character's story. That how the non-fans of Tony feel. If Tony's in the movie, it's all about him.

The rest of your comment I have no disagreement with.

I think, because "best" is such a subjective term, we just have a different perspective on this. For me, the character who gets the best storylines is the "best" part of a story (provided the actor can hold their weight, I suppose). They and their storylines are the "best" part of the story whether I like that character or not. Maybe other characters could've been the best part of the story if they'd been given the material, but they can only be as good as the material they're given (with a little leeway, if the actor is really good).

I guess for me "best" and "strongest" are pretty synonymous when it comes to evaluating a story. Whether I like it or not, the strongest storyline is usually the "best" - even if I sometimes think the story could've been better - stronger - if it had let a different character be the "best."

Your way of looking at it is a much saner way, but it's not what I do. I prefer having the characters I emphasized with as the focal point. Tony just isn't someone I understand or emphasize with, so I resent that he gets the limelight.
