Potential continuity error

How is Loki escaping with the tesseract supposed to be part of Avengers Endgame? That timeline is deemed as an alternate one, so how would it be part of the film? I do have one theory though, after the Loki Season 2 finale, infinite timelines were created, so maybe we could have been watching that bit of the film in an alternate timeline, because no one talks about what happened with Loki escaping with the tesseract after they get back from the time heist. It’s probably just a scene marvel added to drag on the film longer and to start a show about the TVA.

Also, another question, how is the sacred timeline, sacred, when they still have the old gamora in it? Did they erase the timeline thanos came from in Avengers endgame? This whole thing is so confusing

the scene of Loki's escape actually was in Endgame.

about the Avengers not talking about it, at least the following could be potential reasons::

none of them witnessed it.
other things were on their mind.

about "sacred"; from my understanding, the TVA never pruned it.

it seems possible for an alternate timeline person to move to the "sacred" timeline.

Gamora in Endgame.
Deke Shaw in Agents of SHIELD season 5.
Agents of SHIELD season 7 finale; multiple people.

The timeline first branched when the 2023 Avengers arrived, and it branched again when Loki escaped with the Tesseract. The 2023 Avengers experienced both branches before returning home, so the film just follows that specific branch of the timeline.

The "Sacred Timeline" is apparently just the set of timelines which allow for He Who Remains to exist. That allows for the possibility of people like Gamora traveling into it; it is meant to happen so that HWR exists in the future.

And as far as we know, the timeline Endgame Thanos came from was not erased; there is now just an alternate timeline where Thanos and his armies vanished.

There is no such thing as a "Sacred" Timeline as all of them are "Sacred". I really Really wish people stop using S1 TVA rules as Gospel as they were based on a Lie from He Who Remains.

That Timeline is probably still alive and well as 2023 Nat's body is still on 2014 Vomir.

None of the 2023 Avengers Saw Loki's escaping and let's be honest none of that team would really care about Loki at all except for Thor and he wasn't there at the moment.

from what I recall, the main universe still seemed to be called "Sacred Timeline" in season 2. not entirely sure, but the TVA might still use that term in future productions.

I havent seen all of loki yet but just from some loki I saw as well as endgame as well as various other non marvel time travel stories my experience with it is you cannot get an exact coherent time travel story, there is always going to be some paradox happening, we just sort of have to just not overthink it cause otherwise yeah there will be errors.

What do you think?
