Endgame was just amazing. I'm still confused by the timeline, but I guess we have to assume the Ancient One was right about how the timelines get "healed" when the stones are placed back. It must be a power of the stones to reset the timeline as if nothing had ever changed. And old Steve simply stayed in the main timeline because he returned the time stone and stayed there? And the reason branch timelines weren't created is because the stones didn't allow for that to happen. But other means of time travel do create branch timelines, like in Agents of SHIELD Season 5, and I guess technically Runaways.

It will be fun to edit in the flashback scenes into the original movies and to try and figure out what happened in the original timeline and what was different as a result of time shenanigans. Obviously, Steve never fought his past self (or future self), for example, in the original timeline. But I wonder if Pierce showing up to try and take the Tessaract always happened or if that was a result of Steve pretending to be Hydra and taking the scepter. Maybe Pierce did try to take the Tessaract but Tony and the rest were able to get away or something.
