I was thinking more like a live-action He-Man/She-Ra episode. I'm going to laugh if Thor throws all the bad guys into mud puddles and then turns to the camera at the end to tell kids to clean their rooms or something. Yes I realize that this would be many people's worst nightmare but I at least am totally on board.
I loved watching Spidey's wall-crawling abilities pushed to (and a bit past) their limits on the Washington Monument and Avengers plane. I actually winced a bit seeing his hands slide when he almost lost his hold in both instances. The plane scene was cool (LOVED the visual of his image being transposed across the hull as he obstructed the plane's cloaking device) but when it crashed in front of what appeared to be a vacant amusement park I thought "sweet! Amusement park at night, awesome locale for a final battle!"
And then Vulture picks up some bombs and takes himself out less than a minute later.
So I thought all of what we got was good to great, but there just needed to be a little more of said goodness/greatness.
Doc Ock had a fair amount of screen time, and how it was utilized definitely established him extremely well. You don't find yourself wanting more of him like you do with Vulture. I guess Vulture got gypped because they spread the 2h13m (only 6 minutes more than SM2) over so many more characters than they had to in SM2. This movie could've been 5-10 minutes longer to give a little more to Toomes.
I don't know if you're familiar but that amusement park is Coney Island (Warriors, Requiem for a Dream, Bullet [Rourke/Tupac]). I'd imagine it doesn't mean much to everyone not from here, but I'm sure most NY'ers loved that it ended there. The lit up tower that the plane crashes through is the Parachute Jump (inactive ride but well known landmark), or some old-schoolers call it the Steeplechase. The Cyclone is one of the oldest and most famous roller coasters in the country.
