I went to see "Avengers: Endgame." This will not be a full review, but rather a single aspect of the movie. (Mild spoilers ahead.) I hate what they did with Hawkeye. He should not have had a happy ending. He should have went to prison after seeing his family was alive at the end of the movie. Hawkeye is just one example of this, but I increasingly hate movies where the "hero" murders criminals. There is no due process and no civil rights for the criminal targeted by a vigilante. There is no court of appeals in the case of a wrongful conviction, and there have been many wrongful convictions in the real world. The "criminal" faces death at the hands of a man who has stolen the authority of the civil magistrate for himself.
