If you haven't seen the movie by now, then don't read. The only reason I bring this up is the continuing countless articles still being published about this movie and the second part coming next year.
I know the MCU are just movies and entertainment, but I feel there should be a bit more realism in these movies. So let's be a little critical and explore what each one of us would question about this movie.
1) How did a spaceship that large just show up above New York City? It didn't appear to travel to Earth the same way as the first attack on New York City, like in the 2012 Avengers movie. When it left Earth, it did seemed to travel on its own power (not jumping to hyperspace). Wouldn't this ship have shown up on our deep space radar upon approach? We have NASA's Deep Space Radar, along with NORAD's Eastern and Western Sectors, along with the Alaskan and Canadian Sector commands.
2) If this first spacecraft is hovering above New York City, where are all of the U.S. Fighter aircraft? For example, with a stolen aircraft out of SEA-TAC last week, fighter jets were scrambled within minutes to chase it down. Since 2001, over 4,000 Fighter jets have been scrambled across the U.S. for numerous reasons (like not reporting to ATC in 10 minutes because they had their radios turned down and didn't hear the ATC), the majority have been false alarms.
3) When Wakandan's determined they were going to be attacked, even though the rest of the world supposedly had inferior technology (although S.H.I.E.L.D.'s tech is on par), why was there no call for help? Several AC-130 gunships, along with A-10's, F-15's, F16's, F-18's, F-35's (F-35B's were flying off of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s flying super carriers), along with SuperCobra's, Apache's, etc., not even counting Nato, Russian, Chinese air forces, they could have done some serious damage to Thano's troops before they ever breached the Wakandan's shield.
4) The tech used to kill Thano's troops wasn't all that advanced. Bucky Barns could kill them with a fully automatic rifle, therefore Thano's troops would have been susceptible to any conventional weaponry.
5) To me the movie shouldn't have been named Infinity War because this would imply that all of Earth's forces would have been engaged in war with Thanos, not just a few super heros.
