«I think that every novelist has
a single ideal reader; that at various points during the composition of a story, the writer is thinking, «I wonder what he / she will think when he / she reads this part?»
The film effectively conjures into being a hypothetical
ideal viewer who's 100 percent competent as a
reader of Marvel narrative — who knows all the characters, gets all the references, can pick up every
single slyly concealed Easter egg, just as Tanos gleans his gems.
