In my opinion fics of the "Not *insert film* Compliant/Canon Divergent" variety generally tend to be better than straight up fix it fics. I'm all for just ignoring canon if you don't like something. Maybe the "I'm just gonna ignore this" fics aren't weighed down as much by a desire to just do stuff instantly and the authors don't feel like everything else in canon has to stay the same, idk? I know those fics are still kinda fixing something but more from the POV of it not happening and a new storyline happening instead.

I agree. The fix-its i had 'marked for later' before I saw the movie were all fairly short, fairly drama-llama, and not that great. I'm hoping some of my favorite artists have non-canon-complient work, or will just go on with the 'verses they're already writing that I love.

I strongly agree with this. Some fandoms do fit-it fics better than others, IMO, but a lot of the time there's just such a rushed, forced, perfunctory quality about them. It's like the thing the fic is "fixing" makes the author so unhappy that they can't bring themself to spend any time dealing with it.

Not that I'm, like, taking the authors to task for not doing better. They don't owe anyone anything. Just, yeah, fix-it fics are often just not very satisfying.

And honestly, even though I actually liked Endgame, I feel like Infinity War leaves canon at a perfect place for people to go canon-divergent and do wherever they want with the story. Whereas actually "fixing" Endgame seems like a pretty herculean task, because it changed so much about the characters and the world of the story.
