[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7601089, member: 20564"] If what the characters in the film described was the complete truth, then I disagree to a point. Of course, it's time travel so there's probably no objective truth. What I got was that there was one timeline and every time time travel caused a change then it caused a split and there was the original timeline and the new timeline. Who know how many times this has already happened in the past, from never any time travel (unlikely with the Time Stone being controlled) to very large but finite numbers of them. So, for example, when the team jumped back and started interacting, it split off a timeline that until that point had been their own timeline. In the "base Avengers" timeline, Professor Hulk never dented a car and tossed someone's bike. That's when the timeline split from their past to a new timeline. Same for when Nebula's memory intertwined - interacting and changing the past is what splits a new timeline. Same for back in 1970s when they interacted with the lady on the elevator. Now, these changes are relatively minor, and will likely leave the timeline very close to what it should be. At least, that's the subtext I got from the Ancient One's speech where she was only really worried about the stone being missing, not the changes made by her not interacting with the Battle of New York for a few minutes while talking to astral form Bruce. What this means in terms of Old Steve. Either Old Steve caused a time stream split by going back in the past, or he had [I]always[/I] done that, including not warning anyone about all of the disasters he knew were coming. The second seems out of character, so most likely he lived his life out on an alternate time stream. Now, how he got back I don't know, so that theory also has flaws. (As a side note, they had already worked out how to run time through someone to de-age them, and they kept the memories because Scott Lang remembered being an old man. So hypothetically they could de-age him.) I absolutely enjoyed how Banner/Hulk resolved their issues from the end of Infinity War and became the Hulk of Endgame. The crowning moment for that for me was not that kids felt safe to come up to him for pictures only a couple years after he went rampaging though a city and needing the hulkbuster armor to take down (though that was close), it was him just casually walking by Scott Lang and giving him his own tacos because Scott's was ruined.
