Probably simply to show that time had passed and she hadn't kept that same hair style over the past 25 years (or however long it has been since Captain Marvel took place).

Saw it, loved it. The single best moment was Cap calling for Thor's hammer - that was awesome. That said, seeing Pepper Potts in an Iron Man suit was awful; as was the "girl power" scene towards the end. I have no problem with it but forcing it down our throat was political correctness just for the sake of having it.

I feel like the Iron Man character has gone off the rails, I hope when they reboot they keep it a little old school and don't clone these suits like candy... I always liked the fact that he was somewhat dependent on that suit to live.. also want that old crazy Hulk back...

Especially when the point of the whole "girl power" scene was that they were going to clear a path for Captain Marvel, then she just blasts ahead like a battering ram without them.

This is an issue I’m sticking with. I don’t care what your rules are, but stick with them once you set them. Tony building the Iron Gauntlet was out of whack with what had been established. Him just getting all of the stones should have killed him — he never should have had the chance to use them.

Agree 100%. Whatever happened to Thanos needing to visit Nidavellir to get the Gauntlet? I'll buy the argument that simply carrying the Gauntlet doesn't affect the bearer, but putting it on sure as Hell does, you can see the power coursing through their bodies. Stark would have been killed instantaneously. Hell, Hulk was nearly killed before he had the chance to snap.

Except she still had long hair when she brought Stark and Nebula to Earth. So she kept the same look for 25 years but changed it between the snap and the “five years later” events.

I do think the haircut was probably to help show the passage of time, similar to Black Widow's hair. However, I for Black Widow, I was thinking it was odd that her hair was a mix of blond/red at that length, since if she stopped dying her hair 5 years ago, the red should've grown out to that length by now. I think it was supposed to show Natasha "letting herself go," being run too ragged to get a good haircut or dye job. Of course, my wife noticed her nails we perfectly manicured.

Now for my in depth details about what I liked about this movie:
- I think that this movie did well in wrapping up the journey for all of the major characters whether in life or death.
- I geeked out when CA picked up Mjolnir and used it against Thanos.
- The reappearance of all of the vanished Superheroes made me happy too especially Doctor Strange comment to Wong if they forgot anybody else or something along those lines.
- Thor better be in the 3rd GotG movie. Some of you might not like the "Thorbrowski" version but I find it much better than the brooding and whiny version we got in his first two movies.
I was happy to see so many "cameos" from the previous movies appear in this movie and I would have never guessed Portman appearing again in a Marvel movie (whether it was an old footage or not).
Is this movie perfect?
Heck no.
Any movie that uses time travel as plot deserves scrutiny in the timeline complications that arises. This movie is no exception. See CA ending for example.
I understand the desire for Marvel to use the Girl Power sequence but they used the wrong female character to carry the Gauntlet. It just didn't make sense for her to need support to go through Thanos' army.
I personally did not like the death of Natasha.
However, overall, this movie was as perfect ending as I could have envisioned for the culmination of the previous 21 movies.

Something about the way this was handled didn't work for me either. I think the back-and-forth struggle with Clint just went on a tad too long and stepped a bit into the ridiculous. I was also sitting there thinking the entire time, do these two really love each other? Clint's married to another woman whom he obviously misses, and if Natasha loves anyone, it's Bruce. So I kept wondering if either of their deaths would actually qualify as the "sacrifice of love" needed for the soul stone. So, yeah... in the end I found Gamora's death a whole lot more moving than Natasha's. Maybe I'll change my mind on second viewing. Natasha's death made my wife cry, so maybe it was just me.

Another thing to think of is, if Aunt May wasn't dusted, she had to live without Peter for five years just after the loss of her husband. She musta' been a wreck.

So was Jarvis the only actor/character from a Marvel TV show that was in Endgame?

A better question is if taking the soul stone cost a soul, what do you get for bringing it back?

Betty Brandt, played by the girl from the Nice Guys, is also on that trip so it would be at least four. Agree on Liz. Especially since the actress is almost 30.

Did the people who got "un-snapped" come back 5 years older, or the same age as when they got snapped away?

As others have stated, that 5 year difference is going to probably impact Peter the most, since half his class is going to be in college now. It was probably why he was so relieved to see his friend in school at the end of the movie.
For the next Spiderman movie, it seems, based on his trailer, like all his major friends/classmates were all snapped if it indeed takes place after Endgame.

Saw it last night.
Accomplished everything I needed to wrap this huge arc up in a satisfying manner. Lots of great moments, loved that they slowed it down and focused on the impact of the snap and really got some great character moments.
I wont even bother trying to get into the why and how of the time travel scenarios. It doesn't all have to fit in logically or be specifically laid out in front of us, because all time travel stories can be poked to death, and it is more satisfying to just go along with the story they chose to tell.
If I had one complaint, it would be fat Thor. Good on them for sticking with it for the whole movie, as I figured that he would somehow zap his way back to his former look before the big battle, but it was just a bit silly watching him fight thanos with a beer belly.

Fat Thor was really dumb. I would get him looking disheveled and haggard but fat? Felt it was too much of a forced attempt at humor.
Although, I loved the "that is America's ass" line from Cap after he beat 2012 Cap. Almost makes me wonder if it was ad-libbed by him.

Could make for an interesting dynamic if she wasn't dusted and is now that much older than Peter.
Speaking of Liz, that made me think of another question, specifically concerning the Vulture. I guess Peter's line to Tony indicated that he reappeared exactly where he disappeared. But imagine if Vulture (assuming he was among the dusted) disappeared in a guarded area of his prison that was no longer guarded when he reappeared, allowing him to escape. I'm just spitballing right now, but the future movies do have a few questions to answer.
