If Thanos traveled into the present and was defeated, how was he able to carry out his initial attack that killed half the worlds population?
I think people are missing the most glaring descrepancy
Eddie Murphy would never settle for Falcon.
he left instructions in his will to make his lawyer do it.
Because nothing in time travel can actually stop what already happened. It’s already the past of all the characters. They explain that like 20 minutes into the movie, when they realize they can’t just kill baby Thanos.
back in 1998 nobody gave a shit about any of these characters. Falcon, Iron Man, and Thor would only be as popular as the director, advertisers, and actors made them.
so traveling into the future causes the timeline to split?
How did you get that? Nothing in the movie even deals with how future travel is supposed to work.
Altering the past creates a branched timeline, but it’s possible to either link the branch back to the main timeline (i.e by returning the Stones back to their respective times).
I still don’t understand if Loki created a new timeline or not
Will Smith would've been a fucking great Falcon.
watch the movie
they fucking explain this when rhodey brings up just killing baby thanos
it doesn't link the branch back into the main timeline, it just stops the other timeline from being a mess because they don't have the stones to deal with things such as dormammu
the second they travel back to the past it creates an alternate branch.
Loki definitely did unless someone can somehow get through to him and convince him to return with the Tesseract and allow himself to be captured.
There is no time travel in that movie, it was a different universe.
Tesseract-getaway-Loki might have always been part of the timeline, since we’ve never really seen what goes on between A1’s final Stark Tower scene and the Return-to-Asgard scene. His adventures in the Disney+ series could like still end up with him winding up at that exact same point irregardless.
It creates a branch yes, but if the triggering factor/divergent point is restored, then the branch merely forms a loop.
That's not true. There's a bit at the end of Avengers where we see Thor, with Loki and the Tesseract, return to Asgard. What I'm wondering is if escapee-Loki has any implications on future movies or if that was purely setup for his show
I hope the muslims overrun our country and burn us at the stake.
Removing the timestone from 2014 could create a divergent timeline branch, but returning the stone back to that point nips the branch from growing. To 2014 Ancient One, the Time Stone was returned to her almost immediately with all other events proceeding as seen before.
Yes, we see them returning to Asgard, but obviously some time lapsed between the Stark Tower Loki defeat and the actual returning to Asgard. What transpired in between was unseen during A1 itself.
It’s definitely not immediate though, since the Avengers were all in different outfits (apart from Thor).
Eddie was doing Dr. Doolittle at this time. As long as it paid, he would've been in it
this. Eddie would have been the star not a sidekick. (unless it was just voice over work).
I say this with all due respect: No one cares if they race-swapped most of these characters.
>oh no Iron Man is...BLACK!!!!!
Wolverine or Peter Parker basically being the only ones popular enough for people to actually get worked up about a black actor playing them
>inb4 black spiderman
Also true before the current incarnation of the MCU.
>1998 Avengers
>Edward Norton could still have been the Hulk
Just man, just.
Alternate timelines, Bruce states this very explicitly
I saw Captain America in the 1950s in New York yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him what the implications to the timeline were for him staying in the past to vigorously fuck Agent Carter.
He said "Oh, like you're doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going "I can do this all day" and explaining to me that he couldn't interfere with 9/11 or the Kennedy assassination in front of my face. I walked away and continued to go about my business, and I heard him chuckle patriotically as I walked off. When I tried to cross the street I saw him talking to Hank Pym with like 15 Pym particles in his hand without any need for them.
Hank was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Steve, you need to use these to return the Infinity Gems.” At first he kept pretending to not be a man out of time and not hear him, but eventually turned back around and started handing the particles back to Pym.
When Hank refused one of the particles and started blocking Steve's hand multiple times, he stopped him and told Hank that he had already returned the stones “to prevent any chrono-spatial anomalies,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s how time travel works. After Hank took each particle and put them in his pockets and started to explain time travel, Cap kept interrupting him by sucking on Peggy's gigantic tits really loudly.
No, because you’re traveling forward into your own timeline
You just can’t return to your original timeline because then you’re branching.
It’s like a git repository: you can go back to a previous commit but if you change anything, it’s gotta go into a new branch.
The only thing is you can’t merge time branches like you can with git
because of their retarded time travel rules that say you can't change the future
How would he? The Ancient one says that things only branch if a stone is plucked from its place in time. Loki went somewhere, not somewhen.
There's 3 timelines now. One with a dead Thanos that never achieved his goal, one with a rampant Loki, and the main one the movie covered. Presumably, there could also be one out there where Cap stayed in the past and didn't appear on the bench because it was the original timeline as well.
>Brad Pitt
>not Patrick Swayze
You had one job internet.
Swayze was never that big.
It would've been Val Kilmer, who was a Brad Pitt tier A-lister for a hot minute in the late 90's.
Eddie Murphy Tony Stark would be really interesting. He has the mouth for it, just instead of witty quips you'd probably have angry black clapbacks.
>He plays every character in various costumes.
