They did and they didn’t cus of how time works I guess as soon as he who remains was killed even though kang had just popped up he’d always had been there while also just now coming into existence

[@Pranksterpants1]

The way I see it, the TVA and He Who Remains actually just isolated MCU-616/199999 (according to the Illuminati and Spider-Society’s Reality Designation Systems respectively) from the rest of the Multiverse. Essentially, what this means is that, at least until He Who Remains’ suicide by Loki Variant, the other universes that might have appeared at the beginning of the Multiverse and their branches might have been unable to interact with MCU-616/199999 and vice versa. One example of this phenomenon could be the events of Into and Across the Spider-Verse. The team of Spider-Totems in Into the Spider-Verse never interact with MCU-616/199999. Fast forward about a year and four months and we see MCU Prowler in the Spider-Society’s Energy Cocoons. I think that Into the Spider-Verse takes place sometime before the death of He Who Remains. Now that the MCU can branch, the Spider-Society can extract Variants from there for whatever they need them for.

[@jesusramirezromo2037]

17:50 This is basically the crux why Marvel's timeline and multiverse is so confusing They don't understand timelines are not a multiverse The universes that form a multiverse are alternate realities, not related to one another, like the Xmen and Sony Spiderman movies are separate realities from the MCU's 616, but in the same multiverse, they basically exist on top of each other, and can connect, but normally can't interact with each other Timelines are variants stemming from one single universe, branching out either from time travel or just different events, the only way to go from one timeline to another is to directly manipulate the events that lead to the timeline you want, akin to what the TVA does

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Well said! Yes, I am hoping that after Loki's finale, Marvel has made it clear that the 616 is one universe with branching timelines and there are other completely separate universes with their own branching timelines. Together, they make up the multiverse. Totally agree with what you said!

Perhaps for as where variants are within the Quantum Realm, they are always there but are only seen by people in other universes when in areas where there is a pull from other universes such as around the core in Quantumania (as it was used to cross universes) and thats how the Probability Storm works. Maybe this is explains Ghost's powers as she is interacting with versions of herself (Quantum Entanglement) which is what makes her glitch out and be out of phase as you said almost like the inverse of America Chavez. When the firefighters first find her she is both there and not there like Schrodinger's cat which was also how MODOK described Probability Storms to Scott. I think it would be a great explanation of her powerset as Ghost was one of my most hyped characters to return in Thunderbolts and could lead to a redemption arc in Kang Dynasty or Secret Wars as a very left field Nexus Being that no one would see coming.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yes, I think your explanation is perfect for how variants avoid running into themselves in the Quantum Realm. Love that reasoning. And I was also excited to see Ghost return in Thunderbolts.

I can agree that the movies have felt a little lacking with phase 4 but, I’m unsure if it’s: 1) bc I’m subconsciously expecting Infinity War/Endgame level spectacles 2) bc the MCU’s world has expanded so much that it’s confusing and convoluted 3) or bc the movies have genuinely just gone down in quality. I def think it’s a bit of all 3 but, regardless of why, I really don’t think that the MCU is dying like other fans are claiming. I think that the MCU is just growing and changing in ways we don’t really understand yet. The MCU and fans are just dealing w growing pains as they expand their roster of characters and stories. I’ve def scaled back my expectations for future movies but, I still am looking forward to how Marvel and the creative minds behind the franchise move forward w the universe they created.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Great commentary. It could be abit of all of the reasons you mention, but I suspect it is mostly #3 and that it was a result of Chapek pushing for quantity over quality. Iger coming back is huge and will result in a much better product. Feige has hit the brakes on some future projects (such as The Marvels) to get things in order. I think that we're going to see better stories and better VFX in future installments. Unfortunately QM was too far along to benefit from the new push for quality over quantity, but I think it will get alot better going forward.

[@alexhilke4763]

MCU's multiverse operates on both multiverse theories: bubble theory and infinite choice theory. Bubble theory says there are branch universes that bubble off our main universe through black holes. Thats the Dark Dimension, Quantum Realm, Tao Lo, the Ancesteral Plane, the Noor Dimension, and the Asgardian Tree directly attached to and apart of the MCU 616. Infinite Choice theory says for every choice we make, there's a universe where we made the opposite decision. That's all the universes shown in DS2: MOM, What If?, and all the branch timelines in Avengers, AOS, and Loki. All of this is held together by the void between demensions that the TVA occupies and the End of Time where all of the universes and dimensions have collapsed at the heat death of the universe. Which is the end stage before the Secret Wars just culminates in a rebooted order called The Secred Timeline.

[@octosalias5785]

It is my personal theory that the events of Agents of Shield takes place in a pocket dimension branch due to the interference of the Di'Allas monoliths, which is why the time loops worked differently than currently happening in the MCU. Also while comic Kang can be confusing it helps to understand that Kang doesn't always know who other timeline Kangs are, so it is similar in some ways the MCU Kang, his timelines are blurred and can vary wildly. Due to his time travel Doctor Doom has even said that he cannot be certain that HE isnt a Kang as well.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, you do have to wonder if Agents of SHIELD will be considered taking place somewhere else other than the main MCU. I did, however, really like that Fitz basically summarized the Endgame rules of time travel in that final season of the show. It came out the year after Endgame and helped flesh out the basic time travel rules around it. I also agree that Dr. Doom may well end up being tied into Kang.

Great video as always, and one of my favourites!

In your comment, I think you meant to say "but i still *don't* think there is only 1 quantum realm", and I agree, that is the thing I am most confused about.

Yes, that's certainly possible. It's hard to say who is going to be the one to fix it all. Somehow Victor Timely will figure in, so he's my guess as the one that might save everyone in the end. But I think the exiled Kang will be the one to create Battleworld.

[@the_actual_lauren]

I have a note to add: It's possible that Reed Richards has a flawed and incomplete understanding of what causes incursions. It's not the presence of someone in another universe -- It's the transfer of information across the boundary between univerese which is what causes the incursion. Sending information across the boundary can be risky if done in an uncontrolled way, leading to a tear in the boundary. This would lead to the universes basically merging, with objects from one universe spilling over into the other. Some ways to transfer information between universes included physically traveling between those universes, or dream walking.

Anyway, I'm not entirely convinced by any of that but it being a place outside of time and space the rules are not clear enough. Maybe it was just fate them meeting each other.

Im preatty sure the Kang in the quantum realm got exiled after he who remains dies. Basically he is part of the second multiverse. Then it would me make sese cause he just got exiled at that point. Also my theory is that the exiled Kang will become he who remains. In ant mam 3 he basically shows us his plan for rge sacred timeline and his motivations are exactly the ones of he who remains. Also in Loki he who remains said that if they kill him, his variants will start anothe multiversal war, he will be created again because of the multiverse and its all gonna play out the same. So basically its a loop of multiversal war, he who remains, Sylvy killing he who remains, multiversal war and so on..

[@AbitofEverything4U]

​@@filthycasual8517 Yeah, I agree, the hardest thing to figure out is when the Kang in QM was exiled. The reason if feels like it happened during the first multiversal war is Kang shows up in the QR at a point before Endgame had occurred in Janet's timeline. So if Janet had left the QR in 2018 and told everyone about Kang, it could have prevented the situation that led to the time heist, which created Loki, which resulting in HWR's death, which led to the 2nd multiversal war. It seems like there is a cause an effect relationship to Kang's banishment and Endgame due to Janet meeting him prior to Endgame happening. But just a theory on my part. The relationship between the Kang council which is outside of time and Janet, who is inside time, is very confusing indeed. Thanks so much for watching the vid and sharing your thoughts.

KZbin Recommended a couple hours ago. I put the video on loop kept falling asleep from drowsiness and had a dream about the world slowly dying in 2 days due to an incursion. When I look up at the sky, I see a large status of how much time everyone have left. Most of the planet faded away already and there was an abandoned ice cream stand that says “Timely” with the number of days that’s left. I don’t remember most of the dreams I had but I heard you loud and clearly the whole time.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

[@Richmond.Reviews]

Man thanks so much for this video. At first, after Quantumania, I was a little confused. And then, the more that I thought about it, the more confusing it got. This video for me explains it all. It all makes sense, the only thing that I think hasn’t been confirmed is what happened to the three Kangs after the first multiversal war. That is quite confusing and my main source of confusion. Other than that though, it has all been explained. Again, this was a fantastic video.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yes, I agree, my biggest open question is what happened to the three Kangs. I honestly suspect they were trapped somewhere, but I could be wrong. Otherwise, I think I understand it all alot more clearly now. It really helped me to put this video together as my mind thinks alot better when it is all laid out like this. Thanks so much for watching the vid and sharing your thoughts. Really appreciate it!

[@Richmond.Reviews]

I think that I possibility would be that the Kangs were stuck at the end of time in a hope for Alioth to take to them out. However, they survived somehow (maybe because they knew more about Alioth than the other Kangs and knew to hide with the Lokis?) and were hiding and came back, assembling the Kang council of Kangs all over the universes and taking over the TVA to allow for more and more Kangs. This is just a theory and has some gaps like how they survived Alioth but I like this theory and might be sticking to it for a while until proven wrong.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, I think it's as good a theory as any I've seen. Definitely a mystery that I hope they answer soon!

[@Richmond.Reviews]

I hope it is explored in Loki Season 2 - maybe a part about the three Kangs back story as they are now possibly the rulers of the TVA so I think that they deserve a backstory

Correction: Christine's immediate death could not have been an absolute point in time, because she is alive in 616, strange did become a sorcerer. I think the absolute event was that strange could not end up with Christine. And the universe was prepared to kill her final destination style to ensure that happened if strange was so stubborn that he insisted on being with her.

[@owalterluan]

That hurts knowing he "loves her in every universe"

[@owalterluan]

Peter Parker's absolute point could be needing to lose someone personal to grow as Spider-Man 🤯

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Well, remember, in the What if episode, she died and that was what caused the alternate timeline. And in that alternate timeline, Christine's death was an absolute point in time, as her death was the reason Strange delved into the mystic arts. Hope that makes sense.

[@jamiemccreath3959]

Great video as always. I wasn't that bothered by Ms. Marvel because it seemed to operate by Agents of SHIELD's other method of time travel they used before season 7 (using the monolith). It seems like there are ways to travel back in your own timeline, but anything you do will have already happened because the flow of time is an illusion. The best illustration of this is Simmons's experiment where she drank the correct three out of four beakers without knowing which one would kill her. (The only exception is when Daisy actually breaks that rule at the end of the season, which I don't like.) EDIT: I did just have a long conversation about this on your discord and it should be noted that technically season 5 never used these rules, it just misled the viewer to believe they were the rules

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, I agree, the Ms. Marvel time travel isn't my favorite, but I also think it was very contained and specific to the bangles and to her personal history. As for the AoS time travel, it continually confused me. But I did at least like in S7 when Fitz used the quantum realm to get everyone back to their main timeline. That was awesome.

[@thoarnejones6805]

Okay this is something I debated with friends for weeks, in Doctor Strange the “multiverse” was a stand in for dimensions. It’s used interchangeably. The Dark Dimension is part of the multiverse. So I always figured there was a SINGULAR universe with multiple dimensions. After Loki what I figured was since HWR death that affected all of time, thus creating alternate timeslines(universes).So in hindsight the use of the word multiverse before still works. It’s a cool idea, and nice we can have debates like this.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Great feedback. Yes, it's important to note that the video is just theories trying to put everything together, so there is definitely much room for debate, as you note. The reason I think Feige's interview when Dr. Strange came out indicates that we did have parallel realities at that point in the MCU is because he said this: "I think when comic book fans hear parallel dimensions or multiple dimensions they think of Earth 616 and Earth 617 and Earth 618. That’s all possible. But what we’re playing with in this world is there are dimensions - that the other dimensions are not just parallel realities, although some of them are, but there are the Dark Dimension where Dormammu inhabits; there are dimensions that are so mind-bending that you can barely perceive them; there are dimensions where a lot of the Ditko images come from; there are dimensions that are just mind trips that the human mind can barely fathom which is why it’s hard to turn them into something to show audiences in November. But we’re playing as much with the notion of the multiverse as much as alien dimensions, for lack of a better term, than parallel realities where there’s Strange that wears Iron Man armor". It's a long quote, but I think the most important piece is when Feige said that the dimensions are not just parallel realties, although some of them are. So he's saying the multiverse at the time of Dr. Strange included parallel realities. Hopefully we can get a more definitive answer to the state of the multiverse prior to He Who Remains death, but if you add in Waldron's quote, it seems like HWR was fine with there being parallel realities, as long as they didn't create a Kang. He said that "If you zoomed in on the timeline, it wouldn’t necessarily look like a straight line. It might look like almost the intertwined strands of a rope fluctuating and spiking here and there. When it becomes a problem for the TVA is when, according to their own rules, when could something branch off in a way that it could actually produce a new timeline that could produce a new version of He Who Remains? That is the practical thing that they’re guarding against." Anyway, all just theories on my part taking into account the quotes they've given us plus the info from the movies/shows. Hopefully we'll learn more as the multiverse saga moves along! Thanks so much for watching the vid and sharing your thoughts. Really appreciate it!

[@realjohnlove]

19:08 only thing to consider is Miss Minutes was going by a script that wasn’t telling the full truth it was bits and pieces of what was actually going on.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Or she knew she was lying but was doing it for Kang. She seemed to be alot more in on what was going on then she let on.

[@christophersimms9785]

After watching Quantumania the second time, I feel as if Kang was aware of everything such as He Who Remains and wanted Scott to use the Pym particles on the time engine so he would forge with the time engine and become a true master of time or maybe where he is able to harness Alioth. I also think He Who Remains will turn out to be Iron Lad as he seems to be the most heroic of the Kang’s we’ve seen so far. It would be awesome for Iron Lad to team up with the Avengers and eventually take up the persona of HWR living a lonely life preventing his variants from ever existing.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yes, I've been wondering about that theory on the exiled Kang "dying". It would explain alot about why Kang was defeated if perhaps he wasn't actually defeated, per se, and it was what he wanted to have happen all along to gain additional power and also to appear to be dead to the Kang council. I really like that. And the HWR = Iron Lad theory is also really cool. Thanks so much for watching the vid and sharing your thoughts. Really appreciate it!

[@CFunk99]

4:13 It's funny that Kevin mentioned Dr. Strange in Iron Man armor because there was originally concept art for Avengers Infinity War that had Strange use the Iron Man armor, and Tony use the Cloak. There was even pictures of that scene being filmed, which is where my profile pic comes from.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yes! Great point! I wondered if that was Feige alluding to something they had in mind, but they had to scrap. I thought his comment was pretty specific in that regard. Interesting stuff! Thanks so much for watching the vid and sharing your thoughts. Really appreciate it!

[@WhiteRaven696]

Baron Mordo himself said that messing with time can result in time loops (Ms. Marvel, Agents of SHIELD), branching timelines (Endgame) or rewriting the timeline (Runaways, Wong’s death in the Doctor Strange climax). All three of these sets of consequences can impact the Multiverse in wild ways.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Well said! Yes it appears Mordo was abit of prophet regarding his warnings. And the Multiverse Saga has only begun to unfold! Thanks so much for watching the vid and sharing your thoughts. Really appreciate it!

[@persephone342]

I feel like Mordo found out the hard way. I never considered him to be evil. He was right about everything he warned would happen. Wong also warned Strange, and the Ancient One warned Bruce. It seems that magical beings exert a different force on the timeline. It’s been magic wielders that are both the most concerned and the most dangerous to time and the fabric of reality itself. The two Loki’s are magic wielders that are exerting their will or intent upon the time line. Loki and Sylvie, decided they would survive and then clasped hands, uniting their will into one and due to their powers combining, the spike goes wild because they are introducing chaos magic or mathematics into the system, thus driving the end of that timeline and speeding up the entropy to chaos or enthalpy, which is the decay rate or death of the system. Anytime they combine their will, the ramp up the chaotic energy and create an equal force, which is Kang and his variants. They’re Order and Loki’s are Chaos. You need both for equilibrium. But what happens when Chaos drives order and Order drives chaos? Loki is now exerting Order, along with Renslayer, while Timely and Sylvie are now representing Chaos. I figure Victor will spagettify into the timeline and cause 616 Kang to rise. HWR is Timely and Kang. He’s just completing his loop. It’s all him, and always has been.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

I agree, there's no way that Kang is dead in QM. He's coming back and he's going to be very ticked. And I also agree that the nexus event was that they were going to die. I could imagine HWR caused the monitors to register a giant nexus event to get them rescued ASAP. Great comments! Thanks so much for watching the vid and sharing your thoughts. Really appreciate it!

[@gavinrussell8487]

Is anyone curious about Stark? The time heist indicates he didn't just take them back in time. He entered a universe where his Father's first child's birthday was not the same as his. I suspect he realised this - based on his comment on messing with time and time messes back - and did his own time jump.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Wild...I don't think I realized that. What makes you think his birthday was different? Theoretically it's not possible, since it created a branch off the main timeline.

[@gavinrussell9841]

@@AbitofEverything4U I suggest watching the sequence again. Tony mumurs that isn’t right. When he and Howard are discussing the expected birthday, Tony pauses. It’s as if he realises that this is either not him, or something is fundamentally wrong with this trip. Knowing how to access more Pym particles, he may just have carried out another trip. May have implications down the line for Kang and his use of tech from the past and future. Just a theory…

[@AbitofEverything4U]

​@@gavinrussell9841 Yeah, that is interesting. Just watched it again. I think on my first watch I assumed Tony hadn't done the math yet to realize he was about to be born, since they didn't necessarily say his birthday was wrong, he just seemed surprised. But I agree, there could be something extra going on. Thanks so much for pointing that out!

[@gavinrussell9841]

Reference… “how far along is she?”…. He appears to be working out the date of birth. Something isn’t quite right. His technology isn’t perfected. The time travel model has a few unknowns he hadn’t figured out until they travelled.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yep, that very well could be what's happening in that scene. I really love your idea and hope that Marvel picks up on that in a future storyline. If they don't do anything further with it, then I guess it could just be that Tony was so focused on the time heist that he hadn't realized just how close to his birth he landed in the past and it took him by surprise. But I hope you're right, as it would lead to some insane stories, if so!

Hello! I think this is the first time I've watched and listened to one of your videos! Bravo, bravo sir! I've listened to the entirety of your video more than several times at work overnight into this morning. Among the best MCU story telling and recaps I've ever heard. The way you paced things in a simple and easy to understand way and keeping the story fascinating, exciting and tense. I loved how you went way back to Thor: The Dark World and showed how Erik Selvig explained and broke down the multiverse on a chalkboard when people thought he was nuts. I agreed with almost all your theories save one involving He Who Remains. When he explained about 'that first variant who found Alioth. I've watched Loki episode 6 over again more than any other Disney+ show. I believe that He Who Remains was speaking of himself in a first or second person way. I believe that He Who Remains is that first variant who encountered Alioth and experimented on it and harnessed it's power. Just think of Revenge of the Sith when Chancellor Palpatine told Anakin the story about Darth Plagueis the Wise and how Palpatine explained later in the story how Darth Plagueis's apprentice killed him in his sleep. Palpatine was obviously the apprentice but never said straight out that he was the one who killed his master in his sleep. Because in a later meeting between Palpatine and Anakin, Palpatine told Anakin he could show him the subtleties of the Force. Anakin asked "You know the Force?" Palpatine replied "My master showed me everything about the Force, even the nature of the dark side."

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Thanks for the positive feedback. Had alot of fun making that video. My mind works best when everything is laid out on the table in an orderly fashion so I can try to piece it together. In the end, it's all just theory, but it was fun trying to put it all together. As for the HWR theory, the only reason I wondered if there could be something we were supposed to learn from that part of his speech is because HWR was so narcissistic that I suspect he would have said "I" in every instance where he personally did something. So the fact that he said "a variant" really stood out to me. But it's just a guess that it meant it was the exiled Kang.

Yes, the What If episode is the tricky piece to everything. I do wonder if perhaps the Quantum Realm is such that variants can't run into each other somehow.

[@thekinglydragon]

I think you are misinterpretting what Feige said about different "realms" in the leadup to Dr. Strange. When he says those are different than the multiverse, I think that means that each multiverse universe has all these realms connected to it. There only being one Quantum Realm, for example, wouldn't make sense even without bringing the What If episode into play, because at the moment Janet went into the Quantum Realm from 616 she would also enter it in infinite similar multiverses. If there were only one Quantum Realm, it would be full of slightly different Janets all entering from about the same time period. The same couldbe said for many of the other realms you talked of (infinite Stranges in the Dark Dimension or infiinite Gamoras and Black Widows in the Soul Stone's dimension)

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Oh, I don't disagree with you at all about the confusion of the QR. I mean, I don't think it works if there are multiple QRs, as I don't get how it then operates as a gateway between universes. But I don't like there being only one either, due to variants running into each other. However, Loveness was really clear in his quote that I mention in the video that there is only one QR for the multiverse. So my assumption is that there is something going on, like perhaps variants are out of phase with each other, and thus the variants can't sense or see each other. I just don't know how to solve it, but whether there is only one QR or multiple QRs, there are issues in both cases and we'll just have to wait and see if Marvel explains how it works in later entries.

[@DecoyZ]

Okay here is my personal explanation for Time Travel/Branching timelines: There is leeway, what I mean by that is basically certain things can change, even events can change but only to a certain extent. Like we saw in Loki, the old man Loki lived countless years without getting pruned.. but why is that? Because he didn't actually change anything, yes he technically didn't die, but to the rest of the universe he still died. He Who Remains basically wrote the MCU, certain events are supposed to happen in a certain way and anyone who changes those events too much gets pruned/creates a new branch. but that doesn't mean ANY change will create a new branch. Let's take the Hulks example, if they were to put the stones back moments after they left the reality its possible that it would effect so little that the universe would continue as normal. I see the sacred timeline not as one single timeline, but a set of woven timelines that are almost identical My proof for this is the Dr. Strange episode of What If, they specifically said in that episode there were TWO Doctor Strange's in ONE timeline. But how is that possible? their worlds are different, one lived for 100s of years and the other didn't. It isn't possible unless timelines don't actually have hard limits, what if they blend into eachother like how a rope is actually made of thousands of separate fibres. To me this shows that timelines can shift in and out of eachother if not too much is changed. And like in the Dr. Strange episode, if too much is changed then an incursion happens, but the interesting thing about the one in the Dr. Strange episode is that it didn't collide with another universe.. no, it simply unravelled. From a meta perspective I think that the rules are just inconsistent even on the best of days, but if i had to explain in canon what's happening, here it is (imma use Kang and He Who Remains interchangably): Timelines are flows of events and possibilities, if an event, decision or change is great enough it causes a Nexus event which splits the timeline. This means you can effect your own timeline if you do not change much, Captain America could technically stay in his timeline if he changed NOTHING else, that means he couldn't have saved people, told people about stuff like 9/11, stuff like that. it could be a closed loop, like Ms. Marvel, as long as Captain America didn't change much. With the sacred timeline Kang has a specific vision in mind, so these real life inconsistencies dont actually bother him that much. in Loki it was said that the avengers going back in time was supposed to happen, while Loki escaping was not, this to me says even in scripted events there is still free will, things can still happen. Fate, Luck and Free Will all exist at the exact same time in the MCU. So, if Luck and Free Will are variables, it makes sense that He Who Remains would make it so that little changes or plotholes dont tear the sacred timeline apart. It has got a failsafe, not just with the TVA but there's a certain level of change Kang allows in his script. I think a Nexus event only occurs when it would directly effect another movie. If Loki didn't die, but pretended to be dead, Endgame would play the same if Loki didn't die, but didn't pretend to be dead, that would cause a branching timeline. the conversation between Bruce and the Ancient one could have also not made a branch, not only because this time travel was basically written into the script by Kang, but also because its possible The Ancient One wouldn't change her approach to Steven in any way, meaning no Nexus event. now, POST multiverse I think its actually different. Before Kang was allowing things to happen, things which broke the rules of timetravel were his doing, but now that the multiverse has erupted outward and has no one person controlling it, everything time related is a branch. So when someone says "Why didn't Steve going back in time cause a branch" you can say "cause the script demanded it" and its not even meta, because He Who Remains controls time. If he liked a story better, he'll break his rules to make it fit that narrative. To him, there are no actual rules of time travel, only the rules he imposed on the universe he is the script writer, who has canonically written every single movie. essentially, all plotholes just got explained "Kang did it" which is brilliant and hilarious. so yeah, it technically makes sense, only because they made a script writer character who we can blame in canon for inconsistencies

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Love all those theories. I will throw out a few thoughts I had after reading your excellent comments: - On the Dr. Strange What If episode, I was thinking the only reason there were two Dr. Strange's was the Ancient One did something weird and split him in two. I never really understood what that was all about and just went with it as it was such a great story, but it was something very specific that she did to him and likely couldn't have happened otherwise. - On Old Man Loki, keep in mind that we didn't know until the end of Episode 6 of Loki what the real mission of the TVA was. It was HWR preventing any timeline branches that created another Kang. So in regards to old man Loki, I think there never was a nexus event, per se. I think HWR used his tech to signal the TVA whenever he felt there was something he wanted the TVA intervene in. At times it was to prune branches that would create another Kang, but other times it was everything that needed to happen for Sylvie and Loki to reach him. So in the case of old man Loki, perhaps he let him live to a ripe old age, knowing he'd be more willing to sacrifice himself, which as you recall was vital to defeating Alioth and Loki and Sylvie reaching HWR. It's key to remember that HWR wrote the entire script for them to find him and so some of the "nexus" events might have been Kang just using the TVA to pave the way for Loki and Sylvia. - On Steve and branching or not branching when he went back to see Peggy, all I can say is I can't imagine Steve letting so much death occur and just sitting idly by. This funny video perfectly illustrates that point: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnPQm2eoqJZ-qKs. Check it out as it is good for a laugh and is very short. I do hope we continue to learn more about the rules as things move further towards Secret Wars. I enjoy brainstorming ideas, but I also hope we eventually get some answers. But thanks for theorizing along with me. Really appreciate it!

Loving this video because I have been working this out and sharing my theories as well. I’m in agreement with almost everything you said except the 2nd multiversal war. I’m not sure if this is going to be the 2nd war or the same one He Who Remains described. I think it will be the same one which is why He says says he will end up right back there at the citadel. I think he met Loki and possibly even Sylvie much earlier in his existence and he remembers that. That’s why he plucked them from their timelines. He did that so that Loki could go back and find him and tell him the story that he told them at the end of time. He programmed that tempad before setting it on the desk for Sylvie to send Loki back. He is at the end of time doing what has to be done to make sure he becomes He Who Remains. The younger version of HWR will then know that he needs to weaponize Alioth and isolate the timeline in order to conquer all. He’s giving himself the blueprint by giving it to Loki first. He needed to make sure he put enough fear in Loki to set him on his mission to find HWR. He may have seen that there was no way to get around Sylvie killing him at the end of time. It’s wild!

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Very interesting theories! I agree, I'm not sure I know how the multiversal war(s) have gone down, as I'm totally guessing at this point. Your ideas may well be correct, as you have laid it out nicely. I'm really excited about Loki S2 coming out and I hope it answers alot of our questions. But it sure is fun to theorize at this point on all the possibilities! Thanks so much for watching the vid and sharing your thoughts. Really appreciate it!

45:32 I think they pruned that entire branch in 2012. Loki still got away in that timeline. It just doesn’t make sense they were the cause of why he got away and it wouldn’t matter because what they did was done. It would also make sense because if the TVA already knew the time heist was gonna happen, they would just automatically prune any branches to keep them from happening & the Avengers complete the mission.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Well, remember in Loki that Ravonna said the time heist was supposed to happen. I suspect that means HWR wanted it to happen and thus he made sure those branches didn't register as a Nexus event. However, he made sure Loki's branch did register as a Nexus so that the TVA would bring Loki in and thus lead to the choice Loki and Sylvie had in the final episode. HWR decided what was and wasn't a nexus event and the TVA just did whatever the computers told them to do.

[@RaihanFauzan]

damn, it really scratch my itch about the whole time travel and multiverse stuff in mcu thanks a lot!

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Great to hear that! Thanks so much for watching the vid and sharing your feedback. Really appreciate it!

[@realjohnlove]

43:07 I don’t He Who Remains did anything to the other Kangs. He just closed off his timeline from being accessed by pruning all branches & shaping a sacred timeline that is unaccessible to anyone who can travel the multiverse. So this includes other Kangs, America Chavez, Dreamwalkers, & sorcerers.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Interesting theory...but I if that's the case, I wonder where the big three ended up? I mean they were in the citadel at the end of time with HWR at one point (thus the statues) so how did Kang boot them from there? I think that's a big mystery yet to be solved.

[@BibleAlivePresentations]

Thank you for this presentation. It is possible that multiple variants can travel to the ONE Quantum Realm and never encounter each other. That explanation makes sense.

[@BibleAlivePresentations]

ANd you are right. Steve 616 travelled through time, that is, through the multiverse, because time-travel IS multiversal transit in the MCU. Doom's space-time platform (seen in LOKI and Doctor Strange ITMOM used by Reed Richards) is also a Multiversal transporter. And Doom's tech is the basis for everything Nathaniel Richards of the 31st century and all his variants (inc. He Who Remains and all the Kangs) and the TVA does. Maybe in the alternate timeline where Steve 616 was happy with Peggy, after she died, he met up with Hank Pym or Tony Stark and used their crude form of time-travel/multiversal transit... or maybe he met someone smarter with a more elegant means of returning Rogers to his own universe... I wonder if Captain America was the cause of an Incursion?

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Excellent feedback! Yes, I do think it's possible that the QR is so large and expansive that it's possible you could simply never run into your variants. And I totally agree with you on Steve and I think your explanation of how he returned works great. Also, it would be wild if he created an incursion in the process of his time travel. Hope we get to find out soon! Thanks so much for watching the vid and sharing your thoughts. Really appreciate it!

[@BibleAlivePresentations]

@@AbitofEverything4U thank you for these wonderfully well thought out, detailed, very warm presentations. In a sea of toxic criticism and hate, you stand out my friend enjoying your presentations thoroughly. Thank you.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Wow! Thanks so much for the positive feedback and kind words. I truly do appreciate it!

[@mds_main]

Since you mentioned it, I'd love a video on the MCU dimensions, not universes/timelines, but dimensions, like the Dark Dimension or the Clandestines dimension or even those dimensions we only see in the Marvel TV series.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, I really need to do that. It's a really interesting topic!

[@motor1105]

Do you think Kang being exiled to the Quantum Realm is actually what prevented He Who Remains from being able to fully kill him or destroy his universe? Since the Realm is the basement of all universes, maybe he couldn't destroy it or even care to, considering he was already out of the picture

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Very good question...and I'm actually working on a video right now that goes into what I think He Who Remains did to all of the Kang council, including the exiled Kang. So your timing is perfect. My hope is to have it loaded tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

[@darrinoverby]

Great video as always! One thought in He Who Remains: I always took his explanation about the multiverse as him talking about himself in the third person before he drops the facade and says that he was the one who trained a lioth. I think your explanation makes a lot of sense, though!

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, I don't know what to think about HWR's speech. It seems so specific for him to refer to "another variant" when he's prideful enough that he would have said "me" otherwise. He was dropping all pretenses and lies when talking to Sylvie and Loki, so I have to think that word choice was intentional. But hopefully we'll find out eventually and get all the answers in time. Thanks so much for watching the vid and sharing your thoughts. Really appreciate it!

An 'Old Cap' Marvel Studios Special that shows how he returned the stones would be a perfect addition to the MCU. And then he can show us at the end where he really is NOW.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

YAS! Please, Marvel...we need that big time. Gives us a chance to see Chris Evans back in the role and would solve so many open questions. Hoping it can happen some day! Thanks so much for watching the vid and sharing your thoughts. Really appreciate it!

[@realjohnlove]

25:38 thank you for saying that because you had me scared lol.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

You are most welcome!

[@DarthDesolous]

This was the first video in a long time. I watched from start to finish, 54 minutes straight. This is my first time to your channel. I agree with the way you presented all the information. I’ve had the same thought as this video is had for a while now. A part of me thinks that “he who remains” and “Kang the conqueror”, are one in the same person. He said something during the series Loki that said “come on now, you have to go through the experience to be changed”. I wonder if he wasn’t talking to Loki and Sylvie, but was he talking about himself. Maybe when he got sucked into that time Vortx in Ant-Man 3 it changed his perspective about winning the war. I’d be willing to go so far to say the first Multiverse of war Kang had the help of the Multi-verseall Avengers, along with America Chavez and The Watcher. We will have to wait and see. As these movies progress, I would like to see you add on to this video. Kind a like an up-to-date video of the Multiverse War.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Wow, now that's a great theory that exiled Kang is HWR, and I love that you based it on that "you have to go thru the experience to be changed" line. Very interesting! And yes, I like the idea of updating the video as time goes on. Should be alot of fun to see how things slowly unfold for the multiverse saga! Thanks so much for watching the vid (all 54 minutes of it!) and sharing your thoughts. Really appreciate it!

[@squidlickersteven2733]

thanks, this helped me understand. It's gotten so complicated, I think the fact that I needed an hour long video just to understand, is proof of that. Can't imagine a regular Joe going in to watch Doctor Strange or AntMan would understand much.....

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, I do fear that Marvel has to be careful that things don't get too complicated for the average fan. Fans like us love this stuff, but it could drive away the regular audience if they aren't careful. Thanks so much for watching the vid and sharing your thoughts. Really appreciate it!

[@realjohnlove]

1:56 Ancient One also says they draw their power from the multiverse its how their magic works

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yes, completely agree!

[@prsleepy1152]

The thing with end game is how aware we’re they of all this like how would hulk know that there’s branched timelines I don’t think he would know. I don’t think any of them would know about sacred timelines or branched timelines.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Great point! I agree, Hulk didn't know about the sacred timeline, as only the TVA knew about that concept. And I also suspect the Hulk didn't totally understand branching, although he did discuss it abit with the Ancient One in that scene. What Hulk was sure of was that quantum physics would not allow someone to go back in time and alter the present. So he basically knew enough to know they were safe from messing up the timestream by going into the past. Hope that helps. That's how I understand it at least. Thx so much for watching the vid and sharing your thoughts. Really appreciate it!

[@marveldude2278]

That was awesome and must have taken a lot of effort 🙌

[@AbitofEverything4U]

It did indeed! But it was also alot of fun as well. Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[@chrisleneil]

Just found your channel, newly subbed! I think you’re on the verge of blowing up, so best wishes Also, Iman Vellani is a huge Marvel fan, so if anything didn’t work about her time travel timeline, I think she would have been on top of it! Personally I see it as ‘she had always done the thing, so she had to do the thing.’

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Thanks so much for the positive feedback and for the sub. And great points about Iman Vellani. Supposedly she did indeed ask alot of questions about that time travel and was satisfied with the answer. So that's good enough for me. It just created some initial confusion, but I think it will all be paid off in the end. Excellent feedback!

[@marvguy6851]

I think a good explanation for the What If Quantum Realm conundrum is that in the sacred timeline, Our 616 Janet traveled in, and exited the Quantum Realm with the virus, therefore creating the branch. This also lines up with Endgame, our heroes traveling into the quantum realm and exiting into another universe.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

That's an interesting idea. I'll have to re-watch the episode though, as I thought we saw her with the virus in the QR. So it seemed things in the QR itself were different than what we saw in Ant-Man and The Wasp. But I do like your theory! Thanks so much for watching the vid and sharing your thoughts. Really appreciate it!

Thank you!!!

[@realjohnlove]

6:15 In Loki, I assumed the TVA was operating in the Quantum Realm & because He Who Remains closed off branches he controlled the 616 Quantum Realm. So in Quantumania. Quantum Kang was able to do what he was doing because He Who Remains was no longer there.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, I'm really curious to see where they reveal the TVA to be operating. The QR is as good of a guess as any for now.

[@jnaught1358]

Adding to cap’s situation. Not only did he tell Sitwell “hail hydra”, he also told that reality’s cap that Bucky was alive.. now, add in that he zapped cap with Loki’s brain scrambling glow stick.. Redford character would no longer be exposed, nor would shield collapse as it did in the AOS series and Winter soldier.. The Secret Empire timeline was created from those events. What we have watched since 2008 was a time loop. That loop was broken in endgame. Tony clearly stated that “when you mess with time, it tends to mess back”.. Mordo stated to strange when he did the same thst “The bill comes due”.. Everything has been laid right in front of our eyes.. But few have the understanding to see it.. Peggy said in a fit of dementia to steve “you came back for me”.. she was talking above old steve.. The father of her children.. Not our steve. The TVA has been there all along.. And so has Kang.. He (Allowed) Thanos to happen.. And all things that led to Tony figuring out time travel for him to use centuries later.. Kang is playing infinity level dimensional chess.. The audience keeps playing go fish😂

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Wow...Great theories! I love them all. One thing is certain, no matter how much we think we know, Marvel is several steps ahead and we are just trying to catch up. Your ideas are fascinating. Thanks so much for watching the vid and sharing your thoughts. Really appreciate it!
