Was this the DUBMEST MOMENT IN THE HISTORY OF FILM?

It's already bad enough they turn Star Lord into an idiot who can't wait five seconds to beat the crap out of a soon-to-be-defenseless Thanos -- but as soon as Star Lord started punching Thanos, why didn't Spidey spend half a second to subdue Star Lord with web spray and then go back to ripping the gauntlet off?

You could argue Star Lord had a Gilligan moment, but I see it as more like when Luke Skywalker yells out after seeing Obi-Wan getting killed. It's just that the fate of half the universe was at stake when Star Lord did it, but at the time he did it, we didn't know how far Thanos would get. Lazy writing? Maybe, but I'm more inclined to call it a trope.
