25. Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?

Thanos's plot to kill half of all life in the galaxy in Infinity War was stupid and the Avengers' decision in Endgame to undo it but only kinda was even stupider and all of Marvel's attempts to deal with the aftermath in Spiderman: Far from Home and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier just drive home how very absurd those plot points are, and I refuse to allow any of it to enter into my personal MCU headcanon.

which also put forth different explanations of Steve's new life with Peggy: is he in an alternate timeline, or is he back in time in his OWN timeline and just... living in Peggy's basement, I guess, given that no one knew about Peggy's Husband, Other Captain America, when Steve defrosted in 2011?

And how did either version of this not get nuked by the TVA? Talk about a timeline deviation.

The movies definitely stopped even trying to make sense during/after Endgame. I really thought the plan would have been to 'fix' the timeline and make it so it never happened and all those people never died, not to bring them back five years later.

Also, how would 'half of all life' stop the problem of not enough resources? Not enough water, land? Sure. But not enough food? Uh, not if half of all animals are also gone.

Frankly I think they decided not to fix the timeline because so many reviewers guessed they would fix the timeline (because what the fuck else could you do after the ending of Infinity War?) and they wanted to be ~surprising~. I am all for surprises that are emotionally satisfying and make sense once you look back at how the pieces go together but this is NOT THAT.
