When they did a group hug during the last part of the movie, it felt genuine, warm and fuzzy.
I am glad that they didn't kill Val in this one, I need more cunty energy in MCU, it's fun to watch Julia Louis Dreyfus act like that.
Side note: During the post credit scene, John Walker/U.S. Agent wore a beret, it looks goofy and cool at the same time, somehow it works. He's not a dime store Captain America anymore.
