I'm losing track now of the number of articles popping up where Markus and McFeely talk about how Steve is the father of Peggy's children and that was always the intention, while the Russos talk about how it's an alternate timeline. And both have admitted slight problems with their explanation.

It's still too early to tell, and I'm hoping a third party talks about it. I know some people feel this shouldn't need to be explained due to the film "leaving it up to interpretation", but while I usually agree that interpretation room is nice, when it comes to the rules of time travel, I personally feel that should be more concrete, and it's not like whether it's an alternate timeline or not makes an emotional difference to the scene. For wiki purposes, I just would like to know.

I'm seeing several people online, like my understanding from the film, talk about how the Ancient One scene does seem to suggest the alternate timelines are erased. But it does increasingly seem from comments that they're not. That scene is just bizarre in conjunction with particularly the Russos' comments. They don't align.

Also - and I'm not saying this makes a difference to the logic or rules or anything, just a more personal "This is weird" - as one of the Empire critics pointed out and I hadn't thought about, it is odd that you're essentially leaving behind at the very least two alternate timelines where the Snap goes on to still happen, and there's no reason to believe it was resolved.

And if each of these timelines also did solve it in the same way - going back and taking stones, they too would create timelines, and so on, it's a whole can of worms. Would've been much better/easier to stick to the erasing idea.
