to be honest, I don't think it's that complex.

All endgame needed to do to get rid of this problem is say "we don't know what will happen if we do this. Its never been done before."

Like, have guesses, and theories, and TRY to correct everything for a clean closed-loop. But just admit that possible divergences are just thing you aren't equipped to speak on. No Bruce telling all these hard and fast rules, no Ancient One spelling out the path of the multiverse. Just admit you don't know the consequences, and say "fuck it, let's take the risk."

Boom. Suddenly any time travel fuckery doesn't matter anymore. and very few people will care, because their eyes are on Thanos and not your funky rules. Then you can have all KINDS of fun with the fallout.

I think them wanting to avoid altering the existing timeline makes sense still since Tony doesn't want to risk losing his daughter and it avoids the whole "Why don't they kill Thanos as a baby" discussions but yeah stuff with The Ancient One probably was them overthinking it.

But people still got confused so I dunno. Wouldn't surprise me if it was there because Test Audiences needed a practical explanation.

But I think there is something to people overthinking this more than they used to. Terminator 2 and its ending doesn't really make sense but people just accepted it.
