Congrats, @lsirikul! And you address one of the biggest issues I had with #AvengersEndgame’s time travel logic: The “present” of the main MCU is in fact not the “prime” MCU—it’s an alternate continuity created by Cap’s decision to go back and stay.

So here’s an interesting thing to note: Dr. Strange saw 14M versions of reality and this alternate was the only one where Thanos is defeated.

But what defeated Thanos isn’t just the recovery of the Stones—or at least that’s not the original “intervention.”

By going back in time and staying, Steve likely had some role in encouraging Peggy and Howard Stark to found SHIELD—and to safeguard the two Stones that Steve and Tony later acquire.

It’s unassailable that the present day MCU exists because of SHIELD (HYDRA infestation and all).

The biggest question at the end of #AvengersEndgame: What the heck happened with Mjolnir? Steve doesn’t bring it back. And if he kept it in the past, for decades there have been TWO Mjolnirs—and when Thor calls for his hammer in the pre-Ragnarok movies, both should fly to him.

Note: there are three “worthies” in the MCU but one is dead (though probably being revived? Because of the TV show?)

Another big hanging question from #AvengersEndgame: Where is Korg? Please don’t tell me he’s still playing Fortnite in New Asgard

Just announce a Korg Disney+ solo series now, Marvel
