![]() ![]() In Looper, there’s a terrifying scene where a Rogue Looper is mutilated in modern time as bad guys cut pieces off of him in the past. This means we should not expect any Back to the Future or Looper-style time-updates in Endgame. Think about it: If you travel to the past, that past becomes your future, and your former present becomes the past! Which can’t now be changed by your new future!” When Rhodey and Scott Lang suggest they go into the past and stop Thanos from getting the six stones, Hulk replies: “I don’t know why everyone believes that, but that isn’t true. This one comes straight from Hulk, and it’s one of the core rules that Avengers: Endgame sets up with its time travel. Time travelers experience their own, linear timeline Does real science back this up? Not in the superhero way, no. a Captain America that fights a Captain America in 2012.

That could mean multiple dimensions, string theory, or the Back to the Future II multiple timelines. If the movie left you a little stumped, here are the rules of Avengers: Endgame time travel and why they work together to make everything possible without sacrificing the rules.īlack Widow’s standalone movie could make Avengers: Endgame richer Avengers: Endgame’s best Captain America moment was a nod to comic book controversyĪnyone who has watched enough time travel movies knows the base idea of quantum theory: that an electron is capable of being two places at once at the quantum level. It’s a point made often in the film: we are NOT doing the Back to the Future movies. Endgame doesn’t have time for that nonsense. ![]() Some time travel movies spend their entire runtimes building on top of, then correcting, paradoxes. The short of it: Screenwriters Steven McFeely and Christopher Markus created a closed, time-travel system that allows the Avengers to mess with their own timelines without creating paradoxes. Time travel in Avengers: Endgame actually makes sense - it’s just incredibly convoluted. Then, a few dozen hours later, there’s a normal moment of doubt: Did Endgame make any sense? I’m here to say: yes it does. Most people walk out of Avengers: Endgame with similar awestruck reactions: They pulled it off! There are character arcs and consequences! It’s a comic book movie that made death feel permanent in a way that large scope superhero projects are usually incapable of! ![]()
