So apparently the time travel thing... [spoilers]


F***** up everything big time and created massive plotholes , this seems to be the biggest concern for who already saw the movie , even though the movie itself was great , i can share some details if you want.

WARNING! Major Spoilers

[spoiler] Nebula from present kills Nebula from 2014 without being erased from existence , Loki from 2012 is running around somewhere because he escapes from the battle of NY with the help of the tesseract while his present version is killed by Thanos in IW , Spider-Man / Peter Parker death is undone by Hulk using the Gauntlet to unsnap all the dusted people , so he's still 15 in 2023 and this will be hard to explain in Far From Home since Feige said FFH happens literally minutes after Endgame ends , so i guess every MCU movies will be set in the future from now on? does it make any sense? Black Widow dies permanently in order to get the Soul Stone before Thanos does back in the past , they confirmed a Black Widow movie , so it will be set before Infinity War? why make a BW movie if she won't appear again in any future MCU movies? Scott Lang is freed from the quantum realm after 5 years as well as Janet Pym who was there for 20 years , Scott only ages 5 days but Janet is much older than when she went into the QR. [/spoiler]

reply

For Scott and Janet thing, it's actually not that bad. It's simply because they don't have any control over how they traverse the quantum realm, they could be living at the same time as the normal world, they could live an extremely slowed time, or even the time can actually flow through them and make them age backward or forward, like what happened to Scott on the experiment.

You haven't seen the movie yet have you?

reply

no but i read legit comments from people who have seen it in China , unfortunately i spoiled myself the whole movie but whatever

people who saw it said is the best MCU movie they ever made but some people are not happy for some choices they made in this movie

reply

This movie's time-travel works differently than say, Back to the Future. Travelling into the past in this movie is essentially travelling to (the past of) a parallel universe. So the usual paradox stuff (like Nebula) doesn't apply.

reply

Exactly. Think more like source code. Each jump creates an alternate reality where nothing in that reality affects the present reality.

reply

Of course, except for Rogers. He went to the past but actually manage to live to present time on the same timeline...
