Yeah it seemed weird that he could just tank the hits in Endgame.
He doesn't use the Power Stone during the Hulk fight. The stones glow when they're in use and the Power Stone doesn't glow at all in the fight.
Old Man Steve Rogers is around and somehow managed to avoid being known all along.
The power stones was removed before Thanos went back, according to the writers removing the stones causes branching timelines.
So, if he actually went back in time in the MCU timeline and managed to avoid being known, nothing changed. He was always there.
I guess that makes sense, in a dumb comic book way.
This has nothing to do with it. Changing the past can't and doesn't change the present. So, killing a younger Thanos doesn't change anything, regardless of what happens to the power stone. I mean, it is explicitly told in the scene where Rhodey proposes to kill baby Thanos...
Tell that to the writers. According to them, the past can be changed and new timelines are made specifically when infinity stones are removed. That's not my interpretation.
Sure, but this has nothing to do with this specific question. Rhodey wants to go kill baby Thanos. It is explained that that is useless, because it will change nothing in the present. So, regardless of what happens to the stones, 2014 Thanos dying will never have an effect on 2018 Thanos having already snapped his fingers.
But I'd think that the writers wrote it thinking that 2014 Thanos would be a different Thanos because an infinity stone had just been removed.
No, he doesn't. According to the writers there was always a second Cap in the MCU timeline. So, he doesn't really change the past either. It always happened this way. Anyway, that's already been discussed to death in this thread. I prefer the multiple timelines theory of the Russos.. but in either case the rule is that the past can't be changed. Whatever the theory, Back to the Future is bullshit in the MCU.
I prefer the screenwriters theory, but I do agree with the bolded.
Would you prefer talking about the movie promoting childhood obesity?
I'm pretty sure this doesn't include the foreign weekend yet.
There is still a stone that hasn't been returned to its rightful place so branching timelines exist so its number 1. Number 2 would have been better tho.
I prefer the first because Cap being in our timeline raises too many questions of the shit he'd allow to go down about things he knew in advanced. IMO, it's better that he just lived out his life in that alternative timeline, still being captain america, but with Peggy, until he decided to return to his own, having his life fulfilled. The only issue is that it's not certain how he returned in a different spot, but I'm willing to assume there was just another time machine he went to or something.
If he live in an alternate timeline, that would means he'd save that version of Cap from the ice earlier. And if he did save him, what makes that Peggy choose him instead of the trapped-now-saved Cap?
It won't need that. The hype for the film it's still very much ongoing. It will achieve the record organically.
Cap not talking about his private life is a thing. Watch The Winter Soldier again and I think you'd catch that.
