Tony, Bruce, Clint, Natasha, and the rest of the Avengers could have picked any moments in the past to revisit to gather the Infinity Stones ahead of Thanos. Was Glenn Close not around to reprise her role as Nova Prime? I love the opening scene of 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' but there was a better moment to get the power stone. Newsweek referred to this as the Many Worlds theory. (That's actually discussed in the film.) When the group goes back in time to acquire the Infinity Stones before Thanos, Banner is told that when they're done using the stones in the present, they must return them to the exact moment they retrieved them from the past, otherwise they'll cause multiple realities. That's why the group doesn't go back in time and kill baby Thanos. I won't stop now.įor those who care, Bruce Banner says that if you change something in the past it won't necessarily change the future. I've put my trust in him since 2008's 'Iron Man,' and he hasn't steered us too wrong (other than 'Age of Ultron' with his murder bot). If Tony Stark tells me he figured out how time travel works, I trust him. Not a lot of time is spent on it, so I just accepted whatever I was watching on screen for the most part without worrying too much. Lucky for us, Newsweek asked some scientists to look over the science in the movie, and they said 'Endgame' did a pretty good job in its attempt to ' adhere to current high level-thinking about time travel.'įor what it's worth, the time travel in 'Endgame' is explained rather quickly. So I'm not going to pretend to know whether the time travel in 'Endgame' checks out. I'm not a scientist, otherwise I'd be off studying quantum physics. The remaining heroes team up to face Thanos in 'Avengers: Endgame.' If she's been receiving those messages, then she was likely able to tell Captain Marvel where to find Stark and Nebula. Tony has been sending her transmissions from space via his Iron Man suit. It can be assumed this is where she also meets Tony's fiancée, Pepper Potts. She finds out Nick Fury is missing, and the scene ends. In it, Captain Marvel arrives at the Avengers HQ, where she meets Captain America, Black Widow, Bruce Banner, and more. That scene never appears in 'Endgame' but is extremely important for understanding how Tony gets back home. There's a post-credits scene in 'Captain Marvel' that looks as if it's a scene from 'Avengers: Endgame.' Marvel released it online for you to watch here. How does she know where to find them? We were given the answer to this back in March.

Captain Marvel conveniently shows up the moment Tony Stark is dying and brings him and Nebula home from space. This is something that initially bothered me while watching the movie. It often indicates a user profile.Ĭaptain Marvel arrives at just the right moment to save Tony. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
