| Random thought. In “Infinity Wars” Smart Hulk tells the Ancient One that if he returns to the exact moment the stone is taken, and puts it back that timeline is protected… cool. I follow that. Then in End Game Smart Hulk says that’s not how time travel works, they can’t go back and murder baby Thanos. That made sense to me too. But when I really think about it, he contradicted himself didn’t he? Thoughts? |

| also....Hulk cant return the time stone. As seen in Loki season 1, episode 1. That timeline was pruned because Loki escaped. so timeline doesnt exist anymore. Smart Hulk went to same time as Cap, Scott and tony did which is when Loki was nabbed by tva | ||

| MCU has become a plethora of nonsense for awhile. I've tried to ignore the relatively small stuff But when Shuri gets impaled from front, all the way through to the back with a spear from Namor. And then she just continues fighting like nothing is wrong.... I mean really. What's next? a Beheading where the head just rolls back onto the body and all is cool? Obviously all is fiction, but c'mon writers. Can ya try to make it somewhat realistic |

| In Star Wars movies a new generation of lazy writers decided that The Force would be whatever they needed it to be. It's not a big surprise that a generation of MCU writers would decide that pretty much everything about comic books would be whatever they need it to be. Lazy writing. | ||

| Shuri is twice the man as black panther and 4 times smarter then Tony Stark. Kang better hope she doesn't show up. | ||

| That's the problem/allure of time travel and the multiverse....from a writers perspective, they love it because they can write virtually any scenario....the stakes can be incredibly high and there are no written corners to be considered or afraid of because it's too easy to write yourself out of that corner. From a fan's perspective the stakes are never that dire or permanent because we all know it can just be written away. | ||

| To play devils advocate, it holds up if you are referring to that specific timeline doesn’t it? Sure you can’t change your own timeline as per Endgame but if you return the stone to that specific timeline (Earth 616 or whatever) the it holds water doesn’t it? That specific timeline never lost the stone technically, right. |

IronMan private msg quote post Address this user | |
| Most of the above illustrates why I do not like time travel and multiverse storylines. There is no tension, nothing matters because anything can be undone. Thanos kills one half of life in the universe. That's huge, right? An unimaginable tragedy. Except it is not. Because the Avengers use time travel to undo it. If Disney/Marvel decide they need RDJ back as Iron Man, he will be back. Time travel or multiverse will be the means and his heroic death becomes unimportant. If nothing that happens in the next movie is really going to matter, why go see it? Just wait till it streams. It would be better - IMHO - that if the writers and powers that be don't want to be bound by any continuity, they should just wait a few years and reboot. Like the Batman and Spider-Man movies have done multiple times. |

| @IronMan fair…my only counter is that in a sense it works. Don’t think that that specific Iron Man can return. He was involved in the time travel and died. However for those not involved in the “time heist” did their timeline really change. We are focused on that specific character and their immediate family. Can’t you argue that Wolverine for example, his timeline didn’t change if he has no connection to the time heist? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by stanley_1883 Those two don't contradict each other at all. They both say you can't change what already happened. The distinction is that you can sort of go sideways from what happened, like borrowing the stones and then putting them back. In the Thanos case, you could go back and kill baby Thanos but then you'd have to also go back and resurrect him at the same instant. |

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC I'm going to defend the Endgame writers a bit here: Although things eventually reset, they did a great job of showing the mental anguish and generation-long depression that came about as a result of The Snap. That is an experience that remains with the surviving half even after the reset. Also, Tony Stark's daughter could be considered a composite character. Although she survived the reset, presumably she represents any positive post-snap developments in people's lives that would be lost in the reset. Many people would lose children, relationships, jobs, etc. in the reset, and she was symbolic of that. |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia I will give you that. I really loved the majority of the films up to and including Endgame. The consequences seemed dire and real. I think though time travel/multiverse is a "one kick at the can" type of plot device. It's dramatic potency is exponentially reduced after the first usage. It can be used to great dramatic effect the first time and virtually none the second time around. It can also be easily telegraphed and considered lazy after multiple usages. I see the appeal from a writers POV but I'm assuming they'd also see the possible pitfalls especially if they go to that well a second time. |
