"It would make more sense (to me) if it were an alternate reality, and then after Peggy's death, Old Steve made the jump back into the original timeline, bringing with him his shield & simply lying low until 2023" But that would only work if he then appeared in the Quantum Tunnel with Banner. He didn't, so it's just the one timeline.

Elledy92 wrote: But that contradict Banner's theory in every way. It's not possible, according to the rule they have stated. How? He didn't change anything.

MJLogan95 wrote: Really? So in 1953, Peggy saying Steve died & she has a new husband is what, replaced? Also, correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Agent Carter take place in the 50s? Steve clearly was in the 40s when he danced with Peggy. Not to mention, again, if traveling back to the past means you stay in the same timeline, then the whole 2012 Cap being told Bucky is alive & HYDRA being aware that Cap knows of them in 2012 doesn't work. TWS can't play out the way it did. No, no one is replaced. If Steve did go back to c. 1947 then when she refers to her husband in 1953, that is Steve, not another man.

And no, Agent Carter finishes in 1947.

And no, travelling to the past does not mean you are in the same timeline. It means that if you change events, you create a branching timeline. They did, in four places. But they nipped those new timelines in the bud. In staying with Peggy, though, Steve managed to never change events.

There has to be alternate timelines. But even that wouldn't make sense, UNLESS Old Steve jumped back to our timeline with Quantum Realm tech after Peggy died, bringing with him alternate timeline shield which he then gifts to Sam. Sure, it's 1947, whatever.
