They did a good job explaining that you can't change the future, even if you know it, but i think that to avoid the destruction of the Earth, they will have to explain all this as a "possiible future", like in the comics.

Until an official confirmation, this is still the Earth-199999 timeline. Exactly. That's what I'm saying, it's the "I travelled back in time and changed the future/timeline" thing that's a trope I'm sick of and would rather not have in the MCU. The scientific explanation with four dimensions isn't a trope, it's true, and is what I was very happy with. I was really happy AoS 315 and DS found creative ways to do time stuff without just timeline-changing.

It feels too obvious that they just go back in time and stop Earth's destruction. I have confidence in the writers, who throw us curveballs so often, to find some other workaround. Indeed, until an official confirmation, this is still the Earth-199999 timeline.
