Having said that, the movie features tons of plot holes, in my opinion, such as...

This is a joke. Thanos close-ups looked fine but anytime he interacts with another character the CGI looked awful. Whenever he picks someone up or touches a human, it was BAD. Brolin was good though. They gave him a lot of good material to work with. The VFX just let him down at times.

The only one that can be explained without writing an essay. The same way that they too, can breathe on Earth. Titan has a similar atmosphere to Earth/ Thanos and the Black Order are from planets with similar atmospheres to Earth.

I disagree. He looked real even when in contact with live-action characters. I was amazed; when Mantis was holding his head, he looked real; the same goes for when he grabs Gamora by her forearm or any other time he interacts with live-action characters.

Did anyone like The Thaddeus Ross cameo he had in Avengers Infinity War it bought some connection to Incredible Hulk and Civil War.

Yeah. And with the regular Hulk not wanting to "come out", I'd expect that Ross lives up to his comic self and becomes the Red Hulk to temporarily take Banner's place on the Avengers' team.

But he looked fake when Thor stabbed Thanos i almost wanted to laugh but it was a great film way better than Age Of Ultron and not as good as Civil War.

That's not happening.

He looked real there to me too. I wear glasses by the way and have perfect vision while wearing them, which I was when I saw the movie. So...

Yeah i wouldn't mind that and that was one of the funniest parts of the film Hulk not wanting to come out.

Jealous. I wish I could see every IMAX movie in that theater.

I thought it looked fine. Definitely a lot better than the final fight in Black Panther.

He looked real in some aspects but when Thanos got stabbed and yelled it looked kinda off he expression but who was your favorite team mine was Team Tony Stark and Star Lord.

In this movie, Tony, in reference to the events of the first Avengers movie, refers to those events happening 6 years ago. But in Spider-Man Homecoming, 8 years supposedly passed between the first Avengers and that film.

To further complicate this, they seem to specially refer to the events of Civil War having occurred about 2 years ago. The events of Spider-Man Homecoming seem to take place pretty much immediately after Civil War. So that means it should be roughly the 8 years referred to in Spider-Man Homecoming, plus roughly two more, for a total of a decade. Yet Tony refers to Avengers 1 as 6 years ago.

The other slight continuity issue that this also brings up, separate from the highly questionable math, is how Tony was going to have that press conference at the end of Homecoming to introduce Spider-Man as the newest Avenger, which Peter took as a test and turned down (this occurring after the events of Civil War). But in Infinity War, Tony seems to indicate that the Avengers pretty much disbanded following the events of Civil War. So that just seems odd to me.

In the grand scheme of things, these are minor gripes, but still loose strings that IMO could have been easily avoided.

Yeah, I noticed that too. The timeline is completely F'd up at this point. Sometimes previous movies are referenced as taking place in the year they were released(Civil War referencing Iron Man as 8 years earlier, Guardians of the Galaxy saying 26 years later after 1988, Doctor Strange showing a plaque given to him in 2016). Other times we get a confusing "8 Years Later" card in Spider-Man: Homecoming right after a scene set directly after The Avengers, despite Homecoming clearly taking place no more than a year after Civil War.

So does it show how Thanos gets each individual stone in this?

My favorite team was everyone who fought together on Titan (i.e. Iron-Man, Dr. Strange, Spider-Man, Mantis, Star Lord, and Drax). My favorite overall character in the movie was, well, it's a tie between Dr. Strange and Thor; they're both so powerful and resourceful.

All but one. But that gets explained in the movie.

Every one except the Power Stone; he acquired that sometime before the events of the movie (and before the ending of Thor: Ragnarok).
