The Gamora that died isn't back. Another one time traveled to the future, which doesn't break the chain of events for the current MCU universe.

Past Gamora didn't violate any soul stone rule bc her timeline didn't get there.


So why can't you do that for Black Widow but just make it 24 hours previous instead of 4 years?

Same scenario.

How does last Gamora entering into the present not make a new timeline?

They handwaved that away by saying it doesn't work like Back to the Future since from their relative viewpoint, the events already happened and can't be reversed by changing the past. Killing baby Thanos doesn't change anything.

The problem is that leaves open a pretty big loophole since you can now grab Gamora from the past and drag her into the future and presumably could do the same with Black Widow.

It probably would have been better to explain it as the Soul Stone has now claimed Black Widow once she went back into the past and sacrificed herself and thus the stone released its claim on Gamora or some similar BS. It only needs or wants one soul or whatnot.

Her timeline is fricked way beyond missing her. Losing Thanos put a huge whole in that reality.

Her showing up in "the present" doesn't screw anything up for that timeline. That's a fresh timeline.

You had to go through the effort of removing the rest of the quote that provided context.

That would create a new timeline in which she wouldn’t be sacrificed, wouldn’t get the soul stone, and they would not be able to un-snap what Thanos did. Oh yeah and Thanos would still be brought back to that alt timeline to destroy those guys

They very specifically said that wasn't the case.

Remember the "Why can't we just kill baby Thanos" argument? What happened has already happened and can't be changed.

They probably could go back in time and bring back a different Widow (or Tony), but then you fall into a philosophical/ethical dilemma of messing with an alternate timeline.

I think there’s not as much of a question/dilemma from the audience about past Gamorra because there’s not much left for her in that past timeline (the life she knows is gone, her father and sister are both dead) and she is now in a better world.

All this talk of timelines is why I hate time travel stories except for Bill and Ted.

I guess morally that would be pretty fricked up to just take someone to a different reality.

It was a pretty clever way to bring Gamora back to life tho

Disappointed. The first two hours is the most boring two hour stretch in the Marvel Series.

And they clipped the nuts of Thor and Hulk. Wtf

the jumbled time travel was whatever (time travel always end up that way), but my biggest gripe was Thor

they spent 2 movies masterfully developing him, and then he's emo Thor again. sure, he had some funny moments but they fricked him up

i'm assuming they'll use this time travel frickery to build some new conflict and OP villains, esp for the cosmic stories

They’re clearly setting him up for Guardians 3 and a potential 4th solo movie, but I agree that his arc was my biggest gripe with the movie.

I was actually totally cool with him getting depressed and getting fat and drunk, because it was believable, but I don’t like him abandoning Asgard. Seems totally out of character for him, especially after Ragnarok gave him such a satisfying arc to the throne.

He's not abandoning Asgard. He's acknowledging that they are better off under the person who had been running it for the last 5 years.

What do you call leaving in a spaceship with Chris Pratt, a raccoon and a tree?

I don’t mean abandoning as in leaving them without a role, I just mean he is personally abandoning them.
