Foxtrol wrote: She has some knowledge of the future (knowing about Dr Strange) but it is also clearly limited, not aware that he gives away the stone. Their group basically devotes their life in part to protect the time stone, so it isn't that surprising that she thinks it’ll be necessary again.

So, if Cap went back to the 40s and got back with the girl, wouldn't everyone have known who he was? He was pretty famous. So they wouldn't have been looking for him or found him in the ice.

This makes sense in some regards but doesn’t explain how the Cap ended up back in 2023 unless you accept that the universes can reconnect. If I understand it Right (i prob don’t) In that explanation Cap goes back to 1940s and immediately starts a new universe/dimension. I heard an explanation that I think suggests that this alternative dimension merges back with the original dimension in 2023 around the time the Cap is on the bench. The issue of how Cap didn’t make any changes to the timeline is a head scratcher. But I think the less you think about it the better. Time travel should be accepted as a plot device and since it has unverifiable variables I don’t see the benefit of pulling it apart. We will all end up annoyed , confused or both!!!

She doesn’t mention the actions of people themselves and the consistent statements in the movie is that any other action can’t change the past. There’s no evidence in the previous movies that Cap isn’t living his life in the background until he reveals himself on the bench and Tony telling his Dad that saying points that there could be a time loop there, where past Tony impacted himself.
Drumpot wrote: » Was it banner or the ancient one who said that you can’t change the past? Also did the ancient one not say that if you take a stone out of a timeline this is when the split universe happens? Would that mean basically that if a stone isn’t taken then you aren’t altering a timeline (even if you go back in time) but it’s only if you take a stone that a new universe is made?

I love this thread 3000, however I think some people are really reading too much into the time travel and the what if's. I agree there are some questions that need to be answered, but why bother dwell on it. Same goes for the female hero team up scene. Who cares, it was about 10 seconds long ffs. Enjoy the comic book superhero movie for what it was!

PhiloCypher wrote: » My read from the scene between the ancient one and Hulk is that unless the stone is returned to that time and place she will be unable to pass the The time stone onto Strange and thus he will be unable to trap the interdimenional cthulu from his solo film in a time paradox and the world ends before Thanos even arrives. A pretty fundamental split.
