#i'm only giving this efforr cuz i wanna see spiderman but im not emotionally vested in seeing endgame in the same way so. have at me

[aaghht]

k, i havent seen endgame,  gonna make a prediction game for thwne i Do See it. i’ve seen trailers and various gifsets with people nodding & some of my friends and family (really only a small handful of people who actually care to watch the MCU...) might be pissed off that i’ve seen spoilers but. idgaf. i wont have a chance to see it probs but it’s ok, cuz predicting stuff for fun is much less stressful than. idk. watching a bunch of stressful stuff with no catharsis whatsoever. if i get more than 5 points or ideas right..... i’ll convince my mom to watch it with me? i’ll watch it alone? anyway, this’ll just be fun to compare once i do see the movie.

trailers: * before the / spoilers: * after the / theorizing: / or //, /// if they’re sub-topics

so without further ado.

*//*so based on having the shot from the trailer where tony is almost dying, but like, thor and rocket raccoon are later hangin out, i’m gonna posit that maybe. i dunno, tony almost dies but.... someone saves him beforehand? i dont even remember if nebula was alive but i’m guessing she might do that, if she was like, not poofed. or could be thor and rocket. that ship sorta looked vaguely guardians’y? but could also be that the scene takes place in the middle of the movie and it’s a different kind of rescue scene. anyway; *//*it’s been 5 years. tony gets back a little before that and discovers: oh, pepper had a kid and i wasn’t there for either of them while lost in space. queue about a year where tony and pepper raise their kid together finally and the rest of the remaining avengers just sorta. loiter around and deal with their own issues.

//* so what is up with brainy-hulk. cool, must be something happened w banner’s psyche and that’s why he’s in the carseat now. OR... that last hit on the head really ...snapped him out of something else and he’s been dealing with the loss his own  way. OR. he’s just been seeing a good shrink. //* nat goes looking for clint and finds him in japan slaughtering... who knows who.... being an assassin we’ve seen clips of him hanging with his kids, doing archery tho so could be that either something happens to them sans-snap or just.... that archery scene seems too calm to take place in the start of the movie so i’m guessing ///** it could also be at the end, before a funeral, OR, right after tony has returned to be with HIS family... creating a sort of silent dad-parallel between them //*it’s a 5 year anniversary of the snap and it’s treated like any large disaster, except on a larger world scale and. more seriously than climate change obviously cuz it just happened so suddenly. ///** avengers hanging out at the HQ for remembering the fallen, being generally sullen, but especially cap and thor. thor’s lost his whole realm, his family and even valkryie is off who knows where. steve has been closing himself off and probably blames himself as much as thor for what’s happened? maybe he spins around in a chair all forlorn and nat mentions how he’s been  ///** ant man appears before the avengers HQ door and presents positive news. //* captain marvel shows up! “I like this one” ///**they have sandwiches. thor makes breakfast subs together (this one is 100% trailer+spoiler, i’ll give you that. just amazingly hard to avoid spoilers when thumbnails start popping up) ///** the others tell him abt the snap and the 5 year gap and he speeds off to check on his own family, sees that Cassie has been fine during that 5 year snap, her mom and stepdad possibly not so much. she thinks his dad was a snap-victim too, now she’s relieved to see him alive and well. this whole appearance of ant man brings them sudden hope, even if he did come from a totally different place

//i thought that maybe thanos’ snap was accidentally more of a rabbits foot than his literal meaning, that it could have been a “transported into another dimension by accident” sort of thing, since we saw ant man return with news from his subdimensional trip... ... but weve seen from infiniwar that he can pretty much do whatever he wants with it so the dusting of peeps was most likely as literal as we saw

*oh, and with ant man giving them hope, the rest of the peeps at HQ who saw him and cap marvel, feel slightly more hopeful? maybe?? anyways, this might actually be where the scenes with nat searching/seeking and re-recruiting clint go. 

*somehow steve Convices Tony. like no kidding, this i wanna see. leave his family and his miraculous return behind? to go save.... what now????

*anyway, tony’s always had a conscience and decides to join the others despite personal reservations. maybe he sees something that the others dont, a solution, a nwe piece, a new angle... he’s going with them and that’s the Space Suits Scene

*so with the new info presented from ant man and/or cap marv, the avengers build a fancier space craft, suit up, go to space.... and find thanos.

*there’s some hardships on the way and there’s only a few of them at thanos’ lil farm + hut.

*thor beheads thanos. some vindication, but also, callback. cool, i’m glad they could put this in for thor cuz otherwise it’d just feel a bit weird. dude kinda killed his whole posse and the rest of his family after all. Timeline 1 sorta ends.

//* they can’t use the glove cuz just. no one else is massive enough for it and they could instantly die???

so idk, i guess they use just some of the stones to execute a plan with the stones separated to decrease risk of death.maybe carol can help them with that somehow.

*there could be more than 3 snaps. possibly

*professor hulk uses the glove! they go back in time Timeline 2 starts.

//*i still don’t get the point of that nazi-steve scene but. maybe it’s like a “oh, i’ll slip right through this crowd of mercenaries without even a sweat and i’ll get to solving a much bigger problem much faster” kinda misdirection deal? steven has grown and learned to be a lot less confrontational or at least a lot more sneaky, so maybe being in another timeline he just sees a change //*steve goes downstairs in the shield/hydra base and. hides maybe one of the infinity stones. Decides later to

//*Tony’s funeral. Final timeline continues.

anyway, i could be wrong for most of this, i marked stuff that’s spoiilers and stuff that’s just me theourizing is without markings.
