It's a pretty bold move making a 3-hour superhero movie devoted to character building. Yes, there is an insane plot, but so much of this film is dedicated to the emotional payoff of 10+ years of superhero world building. It's a bit of a rangy mess, but it's never dull, and given the heavy note that Avengers: Infinity War ended on, there is a lot of comic relief here that buoys the otherwise sober storytelling (without getting in the way of the emotional resonance). Considering all the moving pieces involved, it's sort of amazing this works as well as it does (and that every superhero gets a moment to shine).
