Steve goes back to the past alternate timeline to put it back where it came from

if the stones can destroy themselves shouldn't they be able to create another copy of themselves? Like, the whole reason they had to return them was the idea that the other timelines need them to deal with vague cosmic threats - and now MCU Prime has no stones from 2024 onward.

I mean, mostly the alternate timelines need the stones restored because they have do deal with precisely the same cosmic threats that the prime timeline has already dealt with. Barring major divergence, each timeline will need to deal with their own Thanos. Bit of a loop.

I mean, the only stone which played a significant role in combating a cosmic threat was the time stone - which was, to be fair, the one that Bruce was asking The Ancient One for in that particular scene, but I feel like the way she said it implied there was more to it than that.

I think for whatever reason they decided the butterfly effect needed to be avoided, even though they clearly failed

Yeah, the canon explanation is there is no second timeline. I guess the stones wrestle the paradox into submission somehow. Unless they decide to retcon that. So technically Loki got blipped out of existence by Cap returning the stones until they ignore that for the show.

The canon is conflicted. The directors said there's one timeline but I'm pretty sure Disney maintains that there's several

The *writers* said they thought that Captain America's story, specifically, was a time loop, while the *directors* said that Steve going back in time was yet another branching timeline (meaning Peggy's original husband was a different person) Directors outrank writers

In either case, that's just a discussion of what happened with Steve going back in time to live out his life to old age The other time trips to retrieve the Stones are unambiguously explicitly stated in the movie to create alternate timelines It makes no sense at all otherwise
