    Because they aren't his theories, but the Ancient One's? Banner at best was on "the same page" as her. *edit to next post*

    No before they left he told them the whole what you do in the past can't effect the present. She was the one who was concerned about alternative timelines without the stones and banner theorized that if you put them back then the alternative timelines don't exist.

    Knowing the principles behind time travel and then creating a device to control it are two different things.

    @Milkster
    If you mean the stuff Banner talked about before that scene: educated guess? Some of the stuff in the movie is based on actual real life theories on time travel, so why wouldn't Banner know a little about it in the MCU?

    edit: and what Dantrag said above.

    If they return them to the exact time they took them then nothing can change.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    And thanos really had a problem with sentient life. If everything is in balance than nothing is expanding beyond carrying capacity. The problem comes when intelligence and sentience make it so you go so hard you destroy your own planet, alas his home world.

    I had another thought, too, about this. Thanos gives fuckall about country lines. Iirc we really only saw two countries after the snap in this film (US and Japan). Who's to say the US is even at a 50% reduced population? Quick google search says the US makes up 4.7% of the world population. They could have been sitting at 1% left and Thanos would have had plenty to take from the rest of the world.

    I think it's perfectly fine that you and zealot just accepted thanos's shortsightedness much like probably you and I have accepted certain other elements of the story that others find issue with

    edit: goes without saying but I feel as I ought to, I appreciate the responses to my opinions and the discussions of others' opinions on the literary aspects of the story, I literally revisit a bunch of the "coolness" of the movie every time I read/respond to things and quite honestly I might enjoy the "thereafter" of discussing people's thoughts on the movie more than the movie itself, lol
    While I appreciate it on an individual level to discuss, these type of conversations has helped to make major moves push the 3 hour mark.

    If Hollywood starts thinking we want villain's back stories (which I see a lot, not just from you) so much we're gonna be sitting in 4 hour movies before long, and I gotta pee.


    So the least I can do is voice my dissent.

    We need straight up villian movies. Not against their super heros or anything, just a straight up against the bad guys type movie

    But then people complain that the movies are too dark.

    Just fucking deal with and go pee.

    On one hand you're acting like you don't care about villain backstories. On the other you refuse to miss 2 mins of the movie because you'll miss said backstory.

    {Spoilers} Avengers: Endgame - 6Souls Spoils Everything For Everyone

    Just got out and I fucking loved it. The whole thing was a beautiful love letter to everything you’ve witnessed the past 10+ years.

    - For a minute or two there I thought Ant-Man took a missile to the face lol. My jaw fucking dropped and I had thought others might’ve died too.

    - Steve’s hail hydra was fucking hilarious and feels like it was a jab at that story-line in the comics lol.

    - The final battle was fucking epic. Easily the greatest large scale battle of any marvel movie.

    - Thor and Quill’s back and forth banter on who was the captain of the ship was amazing.

    “I am.......Iron Man.” Teared up like a bitch. Captain getting a second chance at the life he never got to have. Beautiful send off.

    The debate of whether this or IW was better is dumb as shit. It’s one long ass final story arc slashed in half for two movies.
