'Avengers: Endgame' Writers Break Down Biggest Fan Theories | Heat Vision 

These guys are pretty much mic dropping as they have now written back to back $2 billion dollar screen plays, and they own Hollywood. They are living a screenwriters dream.

What a great interview! Fun, brisk, questions were well-asked. Editing was perfect. The energy never dropped. Nice.

Steve Rogers had Mjolnir with him when he took the infinity stones back, so obviously, he placed it back in its proper place and time as well....

This guy Patrick is good...like, damn good. Great interviewer, great questions, and he knows his shit!

5:22 don't call them plucky. they don't know what it means

10:52 yes! Who else love hearing this guy say all these theories to them

I don't think they're contradicting what the Russos said, there just stating what they personally think happened.

I liked the ladies team-up moment cause it made me go "oh, right... people talk about Captain Marvel but we already had all these awsome gals"

What??????? 2014 Thanos got killed in 2023 so for that particular timeline there is no Thanos that will get stones. That's a alternate reality. How come they say no????

One thing that also gets lost [even by the writers?]. There is a difference between the Quantum realm based theory of time travel....and the time stone. The Quantum realm obeys the MCU laws of time travel physics. But the Infinity Stones -do not- obey laws of physics....they *command* them. The time stone can do all kinds of things with time that the Quantum bridge and Pym particles cannot.

Damn that 'Full head of hair' line at 5:15 - #tight

I’m two years late but I just had a full MCU rerun with my family and wow, great interview! Thoughtful and well-researched questions.

In the Dr. Strange movie, the ancient one stated that the time stone wouldn't let her see past her own death. I still don't understand how Dr. Strange could see past the time where he died (seeing the Rat turn antmans Van on, and see the time heist ect.). But it would make sense if he was able to see the point where he came back alive (after Hulk's snapped everyone back into existence). So the movie's plot does make sense, but not for the reason the writers say it does.

The issue with Cap and the timelines is most likely that Winter Soldier was written with the idea that Cap would always be the man that Peggy had married. However..... when Infinity Saga was told, they decided that the back to the future rules of time travel wouldn’t work, because well...they actually don’t make sense. So they basically retconned the original concept to the way the directors, the Russo Brothers describe - as alternate timelines. I think that is why the writers and the directors don’t agree.

Great questions!

Great interview

This guy is mispronouncing half of the MARVEL jargon

Bahot hi zyada intelligent brilliant log h yeh dono.

4:48 Here they disagree with the Russos. I prefer the alternate timeline explanation because with this idea, it's suggested Cap just sat back and did nothing to prevent countless horrible things from happening (Bucky, Hydra, Vietnam, 9/11), which I don't buy at all. Interfering in Peggy's life created an alternate timeline and he was able to make a better world in that reality.

Interesting, so them and Russo bros have different intention for CapnPeggy situation.

Every GoT fan is jealous of Marvel having good writers :/

I don't get the A force moment being controversial at all, sure it's not like Captain Marvel needed the help so I thought the suggestion from Nando where it was Nebula and Gamora being the ones who had the Gauntlet and needed a path to be cleared with help from all the women would have been a slightly stronger moment since Nebula really was one of the MVPs of the movie and after killing her younger self her story just kinda stopped, also it would be a reversal of what she did in the comics and then have Carol be the one to almost bring it to the truck. But other than that I felt it was a badass shot while also having an emotional beat with Natasha not being there as well. We got the "trinity" fighting Thanos on their own so why complain about them doing a call out to A Force?

Caps time travel journey would make a grt Film ....4-sure!!!

Hey Disney, fire D&D and let these guys write a Star Wars trilogy.

Solid response to the heroine scene. They explained it very well.

The scene with all the women coming together to help out Cpt Marvel was cheesy, but awesomely cheesy, that's what Superhero movies are all about, they're awesomely cheesy, clichéd, feel-good films and I love them.

I would love to see these two and the russo brothers talk about the movie together. Which I guess comic-con yeah? But either way I want to hear those four tall about the timelines.

MAYONNAISE ON “fries” \ chips is the best!

about the mjolnir alt timeline. steve had it with him when he time travelled with all the stones. i assumed he left mjolnir there when he dropped off the eather.

Wielding the infinity stones is not a matter of worthiness.

I have to disagree with the part there they think it’s all one timeline. Loki picked up the tesseract and got away. They failed that part of the mission and didn’t get that stone so it had to create a new timeline, right? He has the space stone in another timeline right now. Edit: and I also disagree with the fact that cap himself didn’t create a new timeline by living out his life with Peggy. Because as said in the movie, if you change the past it doesn’t change your future and vice versa. It just creates a new timeline. So by going back and “changing” the past he made a new timeline...

I feel like in every interview Chris Markus forgets something about his own movie XD I’m positive the Ancient One said that they only needed the stones back because it was their best line of defense against evil, nothing about that being the only way a new timeline is created. And Bruce made it sound that the very act of going back in time creates a new timeline since you were never there before. As for Steve coming back, I’m sure between the ancient one and the stones that he probably was able to find a way back

Veeery cagey...About alternate timelines/multiverse stuff. As if they have an idea it might become more relevant in Phase 4? Cards close to the chest on this one

These two deserve SO much credit

"The Dutch put mayonaise on their French fries". Yes we do , where else would you put mayonnaise on? Just wondering...😂 (It's a joke, I know you can put mayonnaise on other stuff, but is putting mayonnaise on your fries that weird?)

Imagine if avengers went to back before thanos destroys the stones n give him a suprise attack but maybe not killing him instead of going back to 2012/2013 for the stones

Still kinda miffed that Marvel are still maintaining Civil War was a Cap movie when it was clearly an Avengers one.

I wish you had asked what is so wrong with putting coffee grounds down the disposal! I do it all the time and have not found any ill effects. Toni complains about it in Civil War.

myolnor :(

We need to talk about the fact that they're such good writers that they're unintentionally setting up other characters like x-men and Namor without even trying to. Expanding the universe with brilliant throwaway lines and concepts. These guys have the ability to set up multiple threads for other movies like it's nothing. it's nuts. Marvel doesn't even need to think about how to introduce those characters now. The groundwork has been laid. I'm sure these guys are incredible in pitch meetings and brainstorming sessions.

lol the host called the hammer Mjolnor

The "only taking the stones makes an alternate timeline" thing doesn't work. If it did, then the original question about killing Thanos as a baby would work. It has to be the time travel that makes all these because otherwise, Thanos leaving in the past and never coming back would change history. Alternate timelines explains most of the movie fine, except for Cap. To reconcile how Cap is still in our own timeline as an old man - I would propose that it works differently when you DON'T return, but ride the timeline all the way back up like he did. That's the one thing that's different. So, when you go back in time, it creates a temporary second split, but as long as you're there it's like pinching two strings together (the universes are entangled) and sliding your fingers up. The moment you leave and return to your time, it's like letting go of the two strings and they separate, at the point you first arrived in the past.

8:27 lol

Mjolnor? Nor?? NOR??? Noooo Rrr iiii rrrr iiiiirrr niiiirrrr Mjolniiiiiirr. Mjolnir. huff! glad i got that out it was driving me nuts lol.

Why do they seem like twins😍

why is no one asking about cap meeting red skull !!?!?!?!?!?

How about the timeline that Cap goes back in time and watches and/or help raise Tony Stark. He could be Tony’s Uncle Steve or god parent. Also, Steve goes back and saves Buckey, because it’s Buckey; which means Morgan, Tony and Pepper’s daughter, gets to know her grandparents. Also Cap and Peggy’s kids should be around the same age as Tony.

I feel attacked..... I put mayo on Hot Dogs and Fries

Endgame specifically says that time is not a loop so how could cap always being Peggy’s husband doesn’t make sense other wise why would he have created an alternate time line. Plus if you watch the Peggy Carter interview it’s clear at that point that Steve had not come back. So that theory doesn’t really hold up.

HBO lowkey wishing hey hired these guys for GOT season 8

“Mjol-NOR”

they don't have french hot dogs in america? he described it as if it was something unusual. ^^

They can't possibly be Steve's kids? That would negate the time travel rules for the whole rest of the movie? You cannot impact the past by something you do in the future, it only opens alternate realities. How do they not see that? It would be very cool, but completely break's Endgame's internal logic.

I guess i'm a psychopath. I LOVE mayonaise on a hotdog!

There are three glitches in the timeline as I see it. First of all, we have to assume that the timeline we know stays as it is, unchanged. Changing something in the past does not change that "prime" timeline, but instead breaks off a branch timeline. This means there are three branches that could not be closed off, and one presents a paradox. First, we have Thanos and Nebula. They left their timeline at 2014, but never returned, meaning there's a branch there where NONE of the events after 2014 happened as they did in the prime timeline. That means no snap(s), so Tony would survive that timeline. Second, we have Loki stealing the space stone (Tesseract). Cap returned it to 1970, but in 2012, Loki steals it and disappears, meaning events after the first Avengers film would unfold differently. Loki would not be in Asgard for Dark World, and so might not be in a position to take over Asgard... meaning he wouldn't be there in Ragnarok. However, he would still have access to the Tesseract if he encountered Thanos again, so Infinity War might still unfold as in the prime timeline. Third, Cap goes into the past and marries Peggy. This would create a branch where he and Peggy were together... but it should not intersect with the prime timeline, which means he should not be there to give the shield to Falcon. This is the paradox. He can't be in BOTH timelines.

Myolnor LMFAOOOO

As a gotmarvel fan, game of thrones deserve someone like them :'(

One question... I thought the infinity stones can’t be held by a person unless they have enough power or a celestial to hold it. Explained in Gotg1. Does that go for just the Power Stone? Or for all stones?

2:50 Mjolnor pls

Anyone else here to get a break from Game of Thrones writing?

I like their explanation of the all-women moment tbh

idk, I would've cut the last movie into lik a 13 episode Netflix show at an 1hr to 3hrs a piece. Go out with a bang, all the sets are built anyway

I'm pretty sure Marvel spayed Hulk in the MCU. 😂😳

I think alternate timeline still exist because the Thanos from the alt-timeline came to this timeline only to be killed. And that alt-timeline everyone has no more Thanos issue. Even when the stone is being placed back to its place.

These guys are the best superhero writers because they seem like the only guys in Hollywood who actually know what heroism is. Every other writer seems to only know how to write "revenge" and call it heroism.

They didn’t even answer the first question, he was asking about the theory that there could have been other ways to defeat Thanos but in order for the world to be safe he needed to destroy the Infinity Stones, otherwise somebody else gets ahold of them and the Avengers would still lose

I missed the 'mayonnaise on a hot dog' thing in the movie.

Fun fact: In Brasil we put mayonese on hot dogs. But then again, we put pretty much anything else on it.

I am irritated because he says mjolnor bruh

you don't cook burritos, you make them.

Internet law: Haters are never in the majority. Ther Internet has a way of making it feel like a few hundreds of thousends of haters speak for the entire fanbase, but they simply pale to the millions that make up said audience. Wherever you are at live events, like conventions, people ALWAYS cheer. But the internet, where cheering isn't fun and people can hide behind anonymity, is fertile ground for haters.

12:45 I feel personally attacked...

oh shit, they just wiped out all the alternate timeline theories. damn.

I am the only one who put mayonnaise on my hot dog?? Because that's the only thing I put on it since I am a child.

Loki got away with the stone. That stone wasn't put back.

Tony Stark is alive in another earth.

I guess you're playing the annoying music throughout so the annoying hum is less noticeable?

I always put mayo in a hotdog. Actually, just this very morning, I prepared a hotdog sandwich for my wife and I's breakfast - with mayo. To hear somebody say that it's disgusting, I may have to re-evaluate my life's choices. (or, it may be normal and it's just that some other people don't know.)

Why does he say Mjolnir like that?!?!

I thought the 'rat' in the story made sense because dr strange saw it. It is the same as wining at gambling if you would knew everyone's cards.

i put mayo on my hotdogs lol onion too

I put mayo on hot dogs. It's awesome.

"I believe there aren't any of these alternate time lines..." So does that mean that Steve goes to 2014 and snaps Thanos back into existance and then skidaddles to 2012 and snaps Loki back into Thors hands? Why did Tony sacrifice himself if Steve was just going to do that twice in one go and still manage to comeout as a good looking 120-ish year old man

Why does no one acknowledge that Thanos can be brought back with the stones?

What about 2014 Thanos not going back to his original timeline? Who snapped the gauntlet in 2018 if 2014 Thanos was dead or didn’t go back?? Isn’t that an alternate timeline?

mic check

I put mayonnaise on my hotdog

These 2. Oh God. Let them write more movies.

7:07 This is wrong. In 2012 New York, Loki escapes with a Space Stone that Cap was unable to return, because 2023 Tony dropped it. There is, at least, THAT alternate reality.

Chilean Hotdogs have Mayonnaise almost always... Take a look at a "dinámico" or an "Italiano"... Spatula smeared Mayo over them

I thought the women Avengers gang thing, on a story level, made me go "huh, why is the movie pausing to set this up?", because it felt shoe-horned in. It probably would've felt more convincing if they had spent a couple of more minutes setting it up, to where they all happened to end up in the same place. I just wrote it off, but at the same time I was thinking, actually how often would we get another opportunity for everyone to be in the same place like that? How many other blockbuster franchises can claim to have that many prominent fan-favorite female heroes? So ultimately, I would have to say eh what the heck, let 'em have some fun playing with that angle, because the reality is the ratio of male to female heroes is unfortunately still about 5 to 1, or 10 to 1. Although I think it would have been also cool if they gathered up all the bug-themed heroes, too. lol

The do know there _HAS_ to be alternate timelines, right? I mean... I think they (Avengers) would have remembered this crap, and they just f--ked off when Loki took a stone he wasn't supposed to have.

I put mayonnaise on hot dogs along with ketchup and relish, and it’s good.

Myulnor and Thainos.

If only those guys wrote season 8 of game of thrones.

Mayonnaise on hot dogs is awesome.

How can Dr. Strange see beyond his own dusting if the Ancient One couldn't see beyond her demise?

why does the interviewer sound like paul rudd

I put mayonnaise on my hotdogs. It's delicious.

These dudes just erased their own show (agent carter) from existence lol
