Well, so that was the "epic finale we were promised". It's okay, I guess. I think this episode would've been more interesting in a slightly longer format. I'll go into specifics:
First of all, I must say I was really excited to get to see Spider-Man once more, but nope, he doesn't appear anywhere, so that's a bummer. That aside, every character seems like they accept this reality waaay too quickly. Also, I get why they couldn't be wasting too much time since they're dealing with a multiversal threat, but I really liked the bits where they talk to each other and get to know the differences with their timelines, but they're too few and it ends up feeling unrealistic they wouldn't be more interested on that sort of stuff. Also, as has already been pointed out in another review, Ultron feels extremely nerfed. He has every infinity stone and goes down way too easily. Another thing that bothered me, didn't The Watcher know about Killmonger being a betrayer? Really?
Anyways, I wasn't really so engaged with this series so even though I think this episode has some flaws, it's a "satisfying" end, even though I really wanted this to be an anthology series instead of gratifying people with the modern "everything has to be connected with everything else" mentality. At the end of the day, it's just a Marvel series, so well, time to move on.
@lleon Yes the Watcher did know about Killmonger being a betrayer, that was his whole role on the team. He and Strange literally talked about it near the end of the episode.
