So after he returned the last stone, whichever one that may have been, when he chose the next location in the timeline rather than return to the present, he would be anchored in a time loop no matter what. That was always how I saw it, and is what the writers have been saying for 3 months now, while the directors have gone in a different direction.

You can't change time and the film only says you create an alternate timeline through removing an Infinity Stone, plus only shows the way to return to your timeline as being via hitting the return button to come out of the Quantum Tunnel just after you left. So it always made sense to me that it's simply a time loop (so is Hawkeye's test run). This is just another comment from them saying that, but I was mainly sending it for the 2011 mention because the disagreement between the writers and directors has been chronicled and discussed to death and I don't want to kick that off again.
