>If Cap were to go back into the past and live there, he would create a branched reality," co-director Joe Russo explains. "The question then becomes, how is he back in this reality to give the shield away?"
>continues. "Maybe there’s a story there. There’s a lot of layers built into this movie and we spent three years thinking through it, so it’s fun to talk about it and hopefully fill in holes for people so they understand what we’re thinking."
All the ppl who doubted it btfo. Cap lived with peggy in a seperate reality, meaning him someone how getting back to ours makes no sense. So they tease another story
Another statement
>Russos went on to reveal that Bucky somehow knows that Steve wasn't planning on coming back. "Especially when he says goodbye," Joe explained. "He says, ‘I’ll miss you.’ Clearly he knows something." What about The Falcon? "Sam doesn’t know something
Well I never thought I could find someone this retarded, but okay I will try to explain.
Tell me, since Time Travel works using the Pym Red Gum, what makes impossible to Captain to save the one that would make him get back where he's suppose to be, deactivating the clock in the process and just use it when he wants?
I mean even in the freaking movie they use when the one they are suppose to use to go back to 2017 and just jump to the 70's.
Please don't be this stupid, is not a plothole, Cap made a huge mistake but there's nothing wrong with Old Man Cap.
Samuel Scott
You literally don’t know what you are talking about. Ayn rand was quoted saying time travel through all realities leads to the core. Interprete that how you will be the fact remains that cap made a plot hole and basically you are stupid as fuck
Luis Brooks
>headcanon to explain a plothole
Why do the russos job for them? Give it a rest retard. Cap had no way of getting back to his reality without the platform
Zachary Rodriguez
It's not hard to fill the hole. The timeline he went to has hank pym and pym particles, it's own Banner and Stark too.
Messing around with time travel was an obvious mistake that they should have avoided as much as possible.
Matthew Martinez
why wouldn't ABC be left to right, what mongrel retard made this
Jonathan Baker
Because you start in the future and you go back in time you fucking idiot.
Luke Taylor
It's 100% a plothole. Old Caps time GPS would still be connected to the main timeline, but someone would have to activate the time pad or Scott's van to bring him back. This is impossible as Old Cap had no way of communicating with anyone in the main timeline from his alternate timeline. Thus it is IMPOSSIBLE that Old Cap was able to return to give Sam the shield.
Brody Anderson
Are X-men and Fantastic Four going to exist in the time line that Cap came from?

Easy way to bring them in. Make up some convoluted shit and just have Deadpool say “Basically Disney got the rights back and the Russo brothers made a huge plot hole which they used to explain why we’re here now.”
Joseph Johnson
>There's a Pym on his end that could've come up with something. "come up with something". Great explanation, faggot. In EVERY iteration of this time travel/quantum realm stuff a person was NEEDED on the other end (Hulk testing the van, Hulk at the time pads, the mouse in Scotts van, Scotts parents at the van). Just saying "herr derr Steve figured it out" is fucking stupid. Almost as stupid as this movie was.

Thomas Turner
What? They answered this in the movie. When asked how long Cap's time jump will take, Bruce says (paraphrased) "For us, a few seconds. For him, as long as he needs."
So Cap could take as long as he wanted from his own perspective, even decades, as long as he also put the stones back when they were meant to be returned. As long as he didn't lose the equipment he could stay in an alternate timeline and return to the prime timeline whenever he wanted, and that includes after having lived out the rest of his life with Peggy in the alternate timeline. He lived out his life and then teleported back so he could be there to give Sam the shield.
Also, it's highly likely that the Peggy he married has already died from old age from his frame of reference. He could return to that moment in the prime timeline whenever he wanted to, so the only reason he'd really have to get up and leave that timeline would probably be his beloved wife passing away.
Thomas Morris

Lincoln Phillips
he didn't return in the time machine, though. He's just sitting on a bench.
Joshua Nelson
The whole massive lineup of heroes towards the end of EG will probably be repeated, albeit somewhat differently, when the MCU is 20 odd years like in 2028 or 29 and then bring in characters we haven't seen in like forever like Cap as a young man, Stark, etc. temporarily for some big final battle.
Ryder Cruz
Nigga his actor is 37 making his character 30-40 years old he doesn't need time travel to live until 2019 from the late 40's especially with super serum bullshit. He traveled back in time and just fucking lived his life. >reeeeee time paradoxes All time travel is inherently flawed. Its a fucking capeshit movie. Why not complain about Nebula killing her past self and yet still existing?
Cameron Rivera
This. This is why it doesn't make any sense. At first everyone thought (correctly) that Cap just lived in the main timeline from the 1940s on in the background. But the Russos confirmed he went to a different timeline. In that case, how/when did he get back to the main timeline? What time pad did he use? How did he activate it?
Luke Williams
Kek
Ethan Perry
Where does it say in the movie or scrip that GPS cannot be turn off or disable?
Eli Thompson
It wouldnt make any fucking sense if it was A, B, and C in that order because its going backwards because its backwards time travel. Are you fucking retarded?
The present is Point A, and the example past is Point B. You dont go from point B to A, you go from A to B.
Eli Phillips
My theory
He went back and lived in the 1940s and another time line branched off. However he knew he would have to go back and let the others know what had happened, or they would come looking for him.
So he lived out his life, and then went back to his normal timeline to give up the shield to Falcon and then dipped back into his branched off reality.
Its not even a plot hole. Just wasn't shown in the movie. Also its a way that Chris Evans could maybe come back one day and play Cap again.
That can easily be explained by a second machine though. He was in an alternate universe with all the avengers. He could have gotten old Tony or whoever to build him a new one so he could come back on his own terms. Bruce says he overshot his landing. So he leaves from the main timeline to an alternate one, lives his life with peggy until she dies of old age, gets the avengers to make him a new pad, then he comes back to that moment, walks over, and sits on the bench.
Ryder Long
I don’t even really care about this stupid plothole. I think from a basic character and narrative standpoint this was depressing and terrible. I hate these hack brothers
Charles Davis
>That can easily be explained by a second machine though. What 2nd time machine? The only pad left was the one that Cap left on. The other one in Avengers HQ was destroyed.
Jose Flores
>It don't matter. None of this matters.
Nathan Murphy
>Why not complain about Nebula killing her past self and yet still existing? Because the past Nebula traveled forward in time to the same year as future Nebula.
Hudson Ward
Logistics of old Cap winding back in the original timeline aside, I'm more interested in moral implications of him going back to Peggy and fucking her. I mean, he would have to pretend to be a different person, while real Cap is stuck in ice, right? Because if he did tell her about it, she'd want to unthaw the alt-Cap. He has to impersonate a younger Cap just so he can get some Peggy puss. Isn't it rape or something?
Zachary Barnes
>Cap finally gets to live the life that was robbed of him.
It was kino.
Landon Taylor
Why didn't Thanos just use the Infinity Stones to dust all the Avengers before they could go back in time and take the Infinity Stones?
Using yalls logic, how was he able to go back to several time periods to drop off the stones without the platform? Not to mention how he was supposed to get them back at the exact moments they were taken. Maybe he kept the suit safe and once Peggy died he came back to the future but had a different entry point this time.
Cameron Bell
He had won, and saw no reason to kill them anymore. He chose to get rid of the stones instead.
Jose Sullivan
>Why not complain about Nebula killing her past self and yet still existing?
She killed Nebula from an alternate timeline which is separate to Nebula from the main timeline. Also two Thanos exists in the main timeline, the one who's dusted and the one with his head chopped off.
Thomas Rodriguez
He could have came back before it was destroyed while nobody was home?
Joshua Edwards
If they had to return the stones to keep the timeline, how does it work for

>smug Hollywood kikes can't admit their mistakes More news at 11

Indeed. How was he able to return the power stone to the temple on the alien planet without a space ship? Same thing with the soul stone. Did he just hand it back to Red Skull? How did he give back Mjolnir to Asgard?

it was really weird how hung up multiple characters were on love interests who are either long dead/gone, and who they have been canonically established as having moved on from.

Cap was having fucking support groups about "moving on" and this faggot couldn't "move on" himself. What a fucking joke.
Liam Mitchell
She was his first love. The feels returned to him when he saw her again in the past.
Hunter White
Because they witnessed how quick everything can be destroyed, and got fucked up from it dummy. Plus Cap was already trying to retire and move on, hence the men's meeting in the beginning of the five years later part. Once time travel was thrown out there, he saw that he could have what he wanted. Clearly he still wished for the life with Peggy, considering he still had her picture in that compass. He saw his opportunity and took it. Not to mention you cant rule out de-aging him in a future movie based on the initial experiment with the van.

They spelled out in plain english that this was exactly how it would work, right before the time heist. >someone suggests they go back in time and just kill baby Thanos >Hulk explains that alternate timelines are a thing and that they would just be killing baby Thanos in a different reality, and that doing so would have no effect on their own timeline's Thanos This is why they were only using time travel to gather the infinity stones, rather than using it to try to change history.
Endgame's time travel rules made it so you DON'T have to worry about paradoxes. I don't understand how this flew over anyone's head when they fucking described it in the movie.
Robert Lee
didnt he make out with carters daughter in one of the movies..?
so did he... make out with his own daughter
William Bennett
I understand in the context of the story WHY steve did what he did. What I’m saying is that from a thematic standpoint, it’s a bizarre choice to introduce all these narratives about healing and moving on from trauma (especially with his 2 closest friends), only to have the main character who is involved in these threads ultimately stay totally stuck in his ways, to the point of leaving his new friends totally in the dust to essentially just dump all of his responsibilities and life and live out a fantasy with people who don’t even exist anymore. I just think it’s depressing, but I get it

they don't go to alternate realities, they go to the main one but explain that changing something in it creates another timeline, that's the quantum theory but then their plan is to go back again to pretend they didn't change anything to "clip the branches" and go back to one unchanged timeline trouble is, that shit doesn't happen, and now they're saying there are alternate timelines left behind

Justin Williams

Gavin Murphy

Colton Ward
This is retarded.
Everything is explained in Dr Strange: temporal changes create branches in time. Every time travel to a furtherest point in the past creates a new dimension (or timeline).
Now the device created by Stark can do something else: the traveler can return to his own dimension as long as it's in the future compared to his original departure. This is how all the avengers returned to the compound with a non-altered version of their original universe and no doplegangers.
Similarly the device can return the traveler to the newly created dimensions at any point in the past as long as it's in the future compared to his departure from those dimensions. This is how Cap returned all the stones to the dimensions where they were missing right after they had been taken.
Luis Sullivan
Then that means they werent saving their own timeline because they would inherently be in a timeline other than their own by doing this, which would be stupid.
He never wanted the responsibility of the Avengers. His war was in the 1940's. He basically got dragged into everything but he was cool with it for a while because he had always wanted to be a hero. I don't think he's wanted to be a hero, and definitely not teaming up with all the other heroes for quite a few movies now. Its a nice ride off into the sunset for him, he fought more battles than he needed to just to save everybody he could because he was capable of it. But through it all he just wanted to live something of a normal life with Peggy. I think her unknown husband they mentioned previously was him all along.
Exactly

>they don't go to alternate realities, they go to the main one but explain that changing something in it creates another timeline The instant they even ARRIVE in the past, they have already created a new timeline. Even just the air being displaced by the presence of their bodies is a change from the original timeline, so regardless they are IN an alternate reality from the instant they get there. That is why they can fuck around in that timeline and steal infinity stones and kill Hitler and do whatever else they want and none of it will affect the original timeline they came from or create paradoxes or cause anything complicated.
This is why they stressed that they cannot change their own timeline's history or stop their own Thanos from performing the snap.
>Then that means they werent saving their own timeline Stark designed the "spacetime GPS" that enabled them to return to their original timeline, as long as they returned a point in time after they left Traveling to the past created new alternate timelines from which they were taking the infinity stones and then returning to their own timeline.
Parker Campbell
He had the space stone with him he could have used it to teleport to the power stone planet, Vormir (don't know how he "returned" the soul stone to Red Skull after teleporting to Vormir though) and Asgard to return the aether and while on Asgard could just leave the hammer anywhere and it would automatically return to Thor upon being summoned then he just used the space stone to teleport back to Earth

Why didn't they just use the time stone to bring Tony Stark back to life, like Thanos did in Infinity War to Vision after he was killed? They didn't even try. And the original wielder of the stone, Doctor Strange, was standing right there. You'd think he would have at least suggested it. Or Scarlet Witch, since she saw it used in that way before.

Dominic Johnson
>someone would have to activate the time pad or Scott's van to bring him back untrue If the plan was for Cap to leave the main timeline and then return the stones to the individual timelines they were taken from before returning home, then it stands to reason that when he is -in- those timelines he still has a way to perform further time jumps without the use of a machine like the pad/van. furthermore, when he/they jump to the past they are arriving somewhere no pad exists, which means when cap jumps back to the main timeline he doesn't necessarily have to arrive at the pad if he's already got his own time travel equipment to use.
it suggests that while the pads are the "primary" time travel devices, the suits also have built-in time traveling capability. this explains why cap and tony can make deliberate subsequent jumps to other timelines without needing the pad.
>They needed the time pad to get back to the original timeline. when was that stated? afaik that was the point of the "spacetime GPS" tony designed, not the pads. the pads are just generic time travel devices, but the little device they were all wearing on their hand was what let them return to their specific timeline.

Aaron Phillips
>But then how did they get to 1970 in the first place? Was there a time pad in 2012? I'm just guessing here, the movie is shit and not much makes sense or is explained. But the time pad is necessary to throw you into the quantum realm. After your in, you can use your suit to go to different times. But to get back to the main timeline you need the time pads. Otherwise why would Hulk even use the time pad when he sent Cap back with the stones? And why would he need the pad to bring Cap back?
Adrian Lopez
So fat kid hugs him like he hasnt seen him for... 5 years, when if he in fact both got dusted, it would have been only a day or so.
Dominic Torres
>this You don't really need the time stone, either. Tony knew he could die and had the foresight to prepare a message. If he had cared, he could have used his time machine to go back right before they started, bring his slightly old self into the future, creating an alternate timeline where Stark disapears after giving the Avengers time travel, and then hid in case his clone died as a contingency. If he lives, then his copy just goes back and there's no harm done, and if dies he can return and accept there's a timeline where shit doesn't go so well; they already created several timelines anyways, and arguably all possible timelines are happening all the time anyways.
Jacob Fisher
Why didn’t they revive Vision and Stark with the infinity stones?
Parker Scott
Fat kid still probably saw ppl gettng dusted around him before going himself. So he was still freaking out. Then when he came back ppl told him five yrs passed and shit. And then he saw peter again.

>Otherwise why would Hulk even use the time pad when he sent Cap back with the stones? Redundancy isn't unusual in engineering. Perhaps the pad is also more reliable or safer, or maybe it's just because when using the pad an external operator like Hulk can monitor the time travel process, more finely control it and improvise in the event of a failure.
If the pad is a pc workstation, the suits are iphones. They are just simple versions of the pad so the meathead heroes can plug in a date/time or press the "home" button and it just werks.
Dominic Bennett

Ayden Baker
I think they filmed a bunch of cameos to use in future movies before he died.
Adrian Roberts
This is apparently what happened, but it's confusing that he didn't show up on the pad, just as an old man. During every other instance of using time travel, when they returned to the main timeline they came out on the pad. But it's really not clear why they start and end on the pad, but can also jump backwards again without it, and come back to where they started with out. The machine was confusing in the first place, because it was presented as a way to get in and out of the quantum realm, but Ant-Man did so with just his suit a long time ago, and leaving and entering the quantum realm is done by the Avengers after they enter through the machine.
Bentley Rogers
And im just saying you're a cunt
Carson Brown
>Perhaps the pad is also more reliable or safer, or maybe it's just because when using the pad an external operator like Hulk can monitor the time travel process, more finely control it and improvise in the event of a failure. You're just making stuff up now. Even when they all went on the mission they used the giant time pad with no one monitoring. The time pads are basically an altered version of Scott's van. Why go to all the trouble of building a time pad(s) when the suits will do? The movie fucked up in this regard. The Russos had to have a fucking Q&A in China to explain their clusterfuck ending.
Charles Russell
>If they had to return the stones to keep the timeline, They didn't. Banner promised to return the time stone so the bald lady didn't have to live in a fucked timeline, and they choose to return the others to try to minimalize the fallout, and to get rid of them. The main timeline the movies follow never changed, and they created several timelines that match the main timeline to certain degrees, and some that vary wildly (they created a timeline where Thanos disapears long before IW happens, so no snap, no Asgard genocide, and no dead Tony).
Grayson Gray
this whole timeline shit teases secret wars and the multiple earths you jackwagons INCURSIONS read Marvel's Illuminati and get strapped in for another 20 years of the MCU and capeshit
oh, and this will likely be how they introduce mutants and the X-men into the MCU
>but then they're supposed to undo that, which is where it falls apart No, they're not. They don't undo anything, they're just trying to minimalize differences between the created timelines and the main timeline. The only reason they bother at all is the ancient one, and that wasn't so her new timeline could reconverge with the one that already happened and is det in stone, it's so that her new timeline can continue like normal, and Earth won't get fucked without a time stone in it.
Liam Perez
>You're just making stuff up now. Obviously? The question was "Otherwise why would Hulk even use the time pad when he sent Cap back", a hypothetical question, so I answered in the same context. What I'm -not- making up is that they DID travel from 2012 to 1970 without a pad. What I'm suggesting is a reasonable explanation for how they could do that - I obviously can't say it's factually correct, but it would explain everything. But to say that they NEED the pad to initiate time travel is incorrect. They did it without the pad, right there in the movie. That's what happened and there's no disputing that, it's not speculative.
We know the pads can perform time travel. That doesn't mean the suits cannot independently perform time travel. We SEE them iterate on the technology, this is just like asking "why did they need the bigger pad when they already had Scott's van?" Or "why did Iron Man build his first suit out of clunky metal parts when he could've just used nanites?"
It's so baffling to me that anyone is having trouble with this movie.
Ethan James
Oh come on incursions were completely retarded. Also what, are they going to introduce Namor specifically for that purpose too?
>But how? Has Winter Soldier already met with Old Cap at some previous point? It seems the answer is yes.
So Old Cap had already met Bucky before he even left. It really was a closed loop, but it involved another timeline.
Jose Campbell
Incursions would the last thing for the MCU to do when the property is dying in the next 20-30 years.
It would be the final milk and reset before Disney decides what they want to do with the IP. And yes, the incursions are retarded but that's the whole point, to bring back interest to already done stories >alternate universe Captain America vs Captain America >Thanos and the black order destroying worlds >God Dr. Doom >the Beyonders
>They don't undo anything. See, I'm starting to realize that all the confusion with this movie is because these people just didn't pay attention while they were watching it. This is so fucking simple, and the movie goes to lengths to outline how the time travel is NOT going to create paradoxes or otherwise fuck things up. It's so easy. It's the easiest time travel has ever been to understand and the short attention span generation still can't handle it.
If anyone is still having actual trouble understanding what happened or think the time travel created plot holes, then go find the chink camrip and watch it again and pay fucking attention instead of whispering to your dicksuck friend in the next seat.
so stupid. If Cap really makes another "jump" back into his original reality after his wife dies, why is he sitting on the bench like he's been waiting there? If he's gonna jump back, why wouldn't he do it at the time the team was expecting him to come back?
it's a fucking asspull. they couldn't even get their own time travel logic right, they realized it way after production, and now they are pretending like it was intentional.
Jeremiah Myers
I visibly cringed at the "female avengers" scene.
Gabriel Bell
>why wouldn't he do it at the time the team was expecting him to come back? Because he is not coming back.
Justin Morgan
he did come back
Ian Richardson
Reed Richards exists in old man caps timeline, thats why.
Chase Young
Not in the capacity of Captain America. They expected Cap, they got old Steve Rogers. Who is probably not staying either.
Jason White
so what? what's the fucking point of your argument? if he really was jumping back to the original reality there is no reason why he wouldn't come back on the deck at the same time he was supposed to. the fact that the movie has him sitting on the bench as an old man is supposed to make you think he lived a full life in that universe. Everybody who watched the movie thinks this, until you go home and realize it's totally inconsistent with the time travel rules they explained. It's a plot hole, a giant mistake, and now the directors are acting like they intended to do it all along.
Jaxon Howard
I think it may be a flub but only in that when they hit the button Cap in the suit should have come out. Make his face obscured before he takes off the helmet to reveal he's old. He had all the time he needed to put the stones back so he spent the 50-60 years with his wife until she died. He's got that super soldier serum so who knows how old he can get before passing. After she passes away he heads back to his time.
As is it was meant simply to be a touching little moment where you realize right away it's old man Steve.

This is really the only fuck up, because the obvious interpretation from watching the movie is that Peggy's husband turned out to be old man cap all along, but it's inconsistent with the rules. They're now saying that in reality, old man cap lived in an alternate timeline, and just returned to the main timeline late in his life, which is the logical conclusion and ocnsistent with their rules when you think about it. The fuck up comes in that there's no reason he shouldn't have appeared on the pad when they expected him to, just as an old man. It's capeshit and there's no reason he couldn't have come back another way, but it is seemingly inconsistent with how time travel had worked in the movie up until that point, because in all previous instances they returned to the pad when they returned to the main timeline. But really, since time travel is explained as being a physical traversal in the quantum realm, and Tony and Captain show that they can go quantum and travel to an arbitrary known point without the pad, there's no logical reason based on the movie's stated rules cap couldn't have gone quantum without a pad in his old age, traveled to where he left when he was young, and exited the quatum realm without the pad. So it all checks out in a "well ackshually" type of way, but it was presented poorly.
Brandon Nguyen
To add to what I said that you replied to, they could have easily played it out like this. Cap goes through time and is transported back. Have his helmet obscured somehow. Maybe steam from reentry or somethin, I dunno. That or have Bucky and Falcon standing in a way that they couldn't easily see Steves face. He exits the pad and slowly walks his way to the bench. Banner, Bucky, Falcon all look a bit confused and start heading to the bench. Then the scene plays out exactly like we saw it in the film from then on. There, no potential plot holes.
Isaiah Gutierrez
Time travel should be banned from movies.
Hudson Adams
It doesn't need to be a plothole. Not everything does. It's just a really nice ending for the character. Looking too deep into it is pointless. They just needed a convenient way to convey the sentiment of passing on the shield and giving Steve his waifu.
Grayson Kelly
If you think about it, there is no plothole though. If cap can travel to specific points in time where some manner of divergence happened, it means they can target specific timelines. Thus he traveled back in time to a specific timeline in a way that is consistent with what was shown. And he deliberately overshot because he took the long way around and had to travel back from his point of view.
Nathan King
As long as he has the particles, he can go to whatever time/place he needs to. Seeing how they managed to do that without the platform when they go to 1970
Brandon Carter
self-assigned 'objectivists' care cause they dont realize theyre in a cult
Brayden Perez
this for fucks sake its a movie based on comic books come on they could easily pull some new macguffin to explain watever they want
Jose King
The first rule of time travel in movies: it's always inconsistent and fucked up.
Tony managed to solve the consistency issue but somehow they fucked it up in the end with Cap because they wanted to 'close' his character. They literally could've just let him leave his shield to Falcon and it would've been the same thing. The main problem with the alternate reality in which Cap and Peggy married is the fact that it's an alternate reality - there would be 2 Captain Americas and original Cap would've killed the other one so that the timeline stays stable and consistent with Tony's predictions.
Yeah, this was quite a good solution too. It doesn't solve the consistency issue though with Tony's model - your current state at any point in time must remain the same or else you risk being branched into an alternate timeline where you can't go back to the original timeline. Cap disobeyed this law of the model because he chose to stay in one timeline so he aged (meaning his supersoldier serum is inactive already) so that means that he shouldn't have been able to return to the original timeline because his state is already different.
Antman's case is an exception (even with the experimenting) because he's already used to navigating the quantum world so he can always find his 'anchor' to the reference point of the original timeline - it's just that when they attempt to 'connect' him to the anchor, they pull out a different version of him from other timelines because those other versions are still him but with a differnet state but his device doesn't discriminate against their states - hence they were able to pull old, baby, and young Scott. Tony's device solves this issue by only allowing the wielder of the device to connect to the anchor in the original reference point but the condition is that their 'state' must remain the same - so if there's a change in their state, they lose their connection to their anchor.
Brayden Nelson
Clever. I like this one.
Oliver Martinez
Hulk is literally the most well-adjusted and probably second most heroic Avenger in the movie.
Andrew Hughes
I think it's fair to say that the entire cast of Homecoming was snapped.
Xavier Sanders
I'll say although I do think he was wasted for most of the movie, I liked that moment where he decides to be the one to wield the gauntlet. >It's mostly gamma. It's like...I was born for this. That's the best callback mcu hulk has ever had to his origins since the 2008 movie that marvel seems to want to forget, which is sad. They should've gone either 1 of 2 ways. Either 1. Have a moment in the final battle where smart Hulk fakes out Thanos into thinking he's going to fight him head on only to outsmart him in some way 2. Have Mantis turn off his inhibitors so that we get pic related Instead they did nothing.
