The Russo Bros answer lingering Endgame questions in a interview

He could just go back to the alternate after he hands the shield off...
Exactly. And I think by just showing up on that bench, Old Cap was making a statement.
To me, the explanations make sense.
The real shocker is fat Thor was mostly CGI on the body. Couldn't tell for the life of me.
That's some damn good CGI.

Comic Thanos has survived a black hole and a supernova.
Stormbreaker could potentially cut Thanos arm, like it did with the Thanos from the prime timeline. But something I've been thinking about Endgame's 2014 Thanos:
The Thanos at the end isn't just younger, but also way less experienced with the infinity stones than the one in Infinity War. Maybe like Tony said, that Thanos was indeed unbeatable, or if Thor had aimed for the head.

For Cap's sake, I hope the time GPS coordinates work like that...
I assumed that the point of the snap wasn't just Thanos. He had a massive army with him. The heroes were starting to get overwhelmed by the end of it. They also had promised to return the stones to the timelines they took them from in order to not fuck over those timelines. If they didn't snap they risked throwing away their own timeline by Thanos and his army winning, or throwing away the timelines they borrowed the stones from.
Okay, so each area they went to was a parallel world basically where the stones were removed and they brought them back to their reality. So somewhere out there in the multiverse there's a Ancient One gave Bruce the time stone but in the Prime universe there was no Bruce to go back and ask her. So still Mutliverse theory, but instead of travelling back in their own time stream they traveled to different realities and/or created different realities.
Did I understand this right. Thanos needed the pym particles for his army. This means, that when they entered the portal in 2014, the traversed the Quantum Realm, and came out the portal in 2023, right? The portals were entrance and exit points to the quantum realm, since it comes from the time machine in the Avengers HQ.
Yeah this is very obviously why he's so old. Does Cap age slower than normal humans? He could've even stayed until after his children have died. It's his own alternate reality, he could do whatever the hell he wanted, lol.
yeah definitely, i thought it was makeup. it was really good. i guess in the same way so was fat thor, i assumed it was a suit.
technically being there does cause a split as even the smallest things dove tail outta control. think of it like any multi-person card game: no one would get the same cards or even have the same chance of winning if 2 peoples spots were changed at the table as the shuffling has now dramatically changed over the course of the game. if any time traveler was spotted it would cause a chain reaction.
There's no reason to believe they don't, and actively living along with Hank Pym would have given him access the pym particles he'd need.
I'm inevitable. Like the plot holes in a movie with time travel and fanboy pandering.
Nah, simply existing in a timeline where they otherwise wouldn't exist means it's an alternate timeline.
How far that timeline was deviates from those that it Parallels would depend on how much they change.
If they were to grab an object, unseen, and put it right back when/where they got it, that timeline would likely continue to mirror to original timeline.
Who is going to do this? We saw what snapping twice did to Thanos, what snapping once did to Hulk, what snapping once did to Tony. you're asking for at least one more snap, to destroy the stones. Who is going to snap those times that won't die, that won't require an ADDITIONAL snap to come back? And how are they going to coordinate this when a fucking war for reality is happening all around them? Come on.
What? They seem to commit to this thing. The Russos literally just said that the 5 year timeskip sticks, and that all of Peter's friends were dusted, but others moved on to college. And other's lives changed. Zendaya have been out teasing what she knows of FFH, so I'm pretty sure they're gonna explore this in Far From Home and moving forward.
It seems a lot of the hanging threads some people are unsatisfied with currently, but then we'll get all our answers throughout Phase 4. Just be patient.
Seems like many people are unsatisfied because maybe they expected this movie to be the "end" or wrap up most of the ongoing stories when, in fact, it's also being leveraged as a springboard for the next batch of content.
I agree with you, though - if people are patient, I think there's going to be a lot of additional pay-off from the upcoming Disney+ shows and even the next few movies.
The movie answered this for you. It didn't work. You can't bring back dead people.
So that shows us that those who have been killed by the wish of the snap, can be returned with the snap, the mechanic that killed them.
You know what, best timeline. A+
So there is an alternate reality where Loki's scepter disappeared and Loki escaped with the time stone, one where Pym particles were stolen and a safe broken into (but nothing taken), amd one where Cap went back to Peggy.
Well the film makers have said mcu Thanos can survive a portal so there's not much to debate.
sounds like a copout really. if tony can scratch him then a portal can sever limb.
The only lingering question I had is how "A Wrinkle In Time" still got made with half the population gone. Wonder what its box office receipts were in the MCU timeline
It's definitely better to not think about this movie's plot at all.
Just because it's in a comic book doesn't mean it's any good.

A: There is a guy called Maw in his army, he was a great wizard. Thanos himself was a brilliant genius as well. Those two easily reverse engineered and mass produced Pym Particles.
Well, this sure leaves the door open for some stuff to happen...

The scepter was put back, and the tesseract isn't the time stone.
Bummed to hear that black widow and games are not coming back. At least not with the soul stone. Figured that would have been the plot for guardians 3.
yeah I meant space time. But I didn't see Cap take the scepter back in time with him
the time stone is hilarious OP. you could theoretically bring it with you to voromir, sacrifice a loved one, reverse their death after getting the soul stone, and then walk away while red skull has permament anime shocked face.
also this has been bothering me. since the infinity stones were creations of said universe and contr it, how come stones made in alternative realities which are different universes able to affect the mainline universe? i guess they're the same ones but dont the stones in the comics not work that way?

I mean, this is what I took away from the whole movie. I feel like the introduction of time travel and the multi-verse along with the continued use of the quantum realm basically means the possibilities are endless for Phase 4 and beyond (including the TV shows).
It's literally called out that reversing anything undoes the stones. You don't get to have your cake and eat it too.
What would have stopped Thanos (or anyone with pym particles and a quantum bracelet) from going back in time to bring an Alt-Thanos forward with them as a "backup" plan in case something went wrong?
Hell, you could bring an army of Alt-Thanos' into the same time thread.if you kept jumping back to like a minute before each previous jump you made.

I'm pretty confident the inroad to the prequel film will be some sort of "life flashing before her eyes" sort of thing, and she will be returned/changed into another character by someone key to the The Eternals film, as a lead in to that one. Other wise these two films seem very esoteric and disconnected so far.
Oh thank god. This was my biggest beef with the ending. Was really not into the idea that Cap would sit on his ass when bad shit went down just to preserve the timeline. His character is too stubborn for that. Same with Peggy.
that doesnt actually happen with vision. wanda or dormmamanus arent affected when the stones are used because you can localize the effect. theres zero reason why the snap would be undone if they reversed tonys death or someone who died on voromir. what they shown counters what has been said in this interview.
heck, even then they could reverse tony, have hulk or captain marvel stand there, do the snap themselves. at a point it comed down to there are some inconsistencies and they wont admit it. they want their cake and eat it too.
Wow, that's a pretty cool idea, as well. Hadn't considered that.
Oh god, everything even makes less sense now.
So in the 'main' timeline, Cap did return.
So future movies take place in which timeline again?
Maybe this is made up or a bad translation.
