reread the OP. I never said nothing happened. I said the exact opposite.

I said that I DIDN’T like the MCU calling it “the blip” AS IF nothing had happened.

We do not deserve this show.

but apply that to the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
What exactly did those chucklef**ks think would happen if they succeeded? We would have appointed new senators/congressmen etc...

did they actually think they would stick around and “become” the ruling govt.?

yeah.... you can’t really go there with a comic book property or else you end up in the land of “why did Superman allow 9/11 to happen”

well, I think we’ve beat this horse long enough.
<Tony shakes Nebula's hand> “Good game, good sport”

alternately... we stopped the third bullet and saved Jackie

“utter destruction” is a bit of an overreaction, don’t you think? Steve was a soldier first and knew that he would lose people “on his watch” his duty was to make sure their sacrifices were justified.

worse, she didn’t even rewind the tape!

wait til they find out she didn’t even bother to rewind the tape

can I get an AMEN?
can you see Thanos following around Hela like a lovesick puppy? all the time with the texting and the tweeting...
Dude, let it go, she’s just not that into you...

sez you.

agreed. even Smart Hulk said it’s either all real or all nonsense (or words to that effect) when talking about time travel.

alternate take. we have a chance to save Jackie Kennedy from a second bullet and we did

OK,

i’m saying it’s a freaking comic book movie, get a life

I would argue that Tony needed his parents to die to make him the Tony we know and love. How many more people would have died if Stark Industries never gave up making weapons

If Steve watched Star Trek at all (and you know he did cuz he had it in his pad of things to see) he knew that sometimes you got to let Edith Keeler die for greater good.

PS I tend to favor the Doctor Who idea of time travel . that the person who does the traveling creates a sort of “eye of the storm” and is immune from the effects of their actions during their time in the past. call it a temporal bubble if you prefer. much easier than trying to create an entire branched universe.

why not? why couldn’t he been alive and hiding (well is it hiding if nobody is looking for you?) in the prime universe all this time.
Sure would explain Peggy’s confusion at her hospital bed seeing young Steve (beyond routine dementia, that is)

they could be wrong... Even The ancient one was open to the idea of skipping back and forth in one’s own timeline without creating a new universe/timeline. the only trick is that you have to “win” to be able to do it - see Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure
