I think someone at Marvel learned all the wrong lessons from the writing advice "Raise the stakes." NO, this does not mean that making the stakes HALF THE GALAXY will automatically make a good and compelling movie.
TFATWS is half a good show about Sam and Bucky and moving on past trauma and half a clusterfuck that doesn't make sense because it's trying to deal with the consequences of Thanos's Snap and the Avengers questionable decision to de-snapify but only sorta... except those consequences are just as ill-considered as that plotline was in the first place. To be fair, a well-considered vision of those consequences would probably be crushingly depressing and unsuitable for a superhero story, but THAT'S A REASON NOT TO USE THAT STORYLINE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
