Hey remember how Odin the Allfather, Ruler of the Nine Realms, greatest of the Aesir, a 2000-year-old *god*, lacked the power to save Jane from the Aether and they needed to let Malekith take her to save her life But Rocket just made a gadget to do it in Tony's lab https://twitter.com/randypaint/status/1254797839516995593 …

That's not even the worst part, the worst part is at the end of the movie Steve takes the Reality Stone to put it *back* in Jane's body to make sure that the events of Thor: The Dark World happen and Thor's mom gets horribly killed again

Least plausible part of the movie not shown because Cap wouldn’t compromise and harm someone.

...It's not even a "compromise", like, what possible benefit is there to the Avengers in our timeline from putting it back

The whole "go back to set those timelines right" thing breaks down on the only sensible model of their time travel, which is that simply popping in from the future always creates a new branch anyway

You can have a story where time is a consistent loop, or one where each trip makes a branch. But most fiction blurs the two, in part because either by itself isn't narratively satisfying

Supposing Cap wants to "prevent" the taking of a stone, he merely has to arrive earlier than the prior trip had been, and he doesn't need anything else in hand. This creates a *third* timeline in which Rocket and Thor will never show up (because it's not "their" past).

(first timeline was the movie Thor 2 and second was what we saw in Endgame; likewise for other return trips.) If he wants to maximize the number of "stoned" timelines, he could do this all day — keep traveling back again and again. But there will always be that stoneless one.

By CONTINUUM RPG rules ("history can only by altered by the application of sentient force") you can prevent a stoneless timeline existing by making sure you always deliberately put the stone back chronologically later than you took it away
