FIRST TIME WATCHING: AVENGERS - ENDGAME!!!!

there's multiple timelines! i hope you figured that all out!

Anthony Jackson

I kinda wanted to see your reaction to the end credits where they show all the major actors and do the signature-sendoff thing. It got huge ovations in my theater although it's obviously not the same watching at home.

Shawn E Mercado

So the whole time travel aspect was explained in the beginning that you going back into your past does not change your lived experience. So essentially there is a point in time where there is both an old Steve and a young Steve both present in the same time, but a large portion of Steve's life in the past is while the current Steve is frozen in ice.

Joseph C Gdaniec

Tony was able to switch the stones so quickly because the Gauntlet was made out of the same nanites that his suit is made out of so the nanites moved the stones across the parts of the armor that were touching the gauntlet

Joseph C Gdaniec

A quick clarification I have seen you get confused about multiple times, the only stone that people can't touch directly is the Power Stone specifically. The power the stone supplies is too powerful for a human body to contain essentially, so it kills them. Also Thanos only cares about Earth bc the Avengers interfered, the snap with the stones took out half of all like in the entire Universe, not just Earth.

Joseph C Gdaniec

This movie is great, and I would like to point out something i feel a lot of people miss. This movie specifically is covering the "5 stages of grief" with each of the surviving original Avengers portraying 1 of the stages: Cap America is denial with his refusal to move on, Hawkeye is anger by going around killing bad guys who survived the snap, Bargaining is Banner with his flip-flopping ideas and overly cheerful demeanor and bargaining with himself and the avengers about their position post-snap, Thor is depression with all his drinking and crying and unhealthy living, and Tony is acceptance with moving on and having a family with Pepper and having a kid.

Joseph C Gdaniec

Just so know nat, Hemsworth had to wear those finderless gloves as Thor cuz his hands were skinny still when he had the fat suit on so they were trying to hide that. Hence the gloves. Just an fyi.

Kyle Larsen

Did anyone point out that when Tony is saying goodbye to his dad, Howard gets in the car and calls the driver Jarvis!? This is a reference to Agent Carter and a nod to the source of everybody's favorite AI. Also naughty, naughty for skipping Main on End :P

Evan Pierce

You are so cute! The anniversary thing caught me by surprise. I have a LONG way to go until my anniversary watching you. It's been a real treat so far and I'll say it again: You are so cute! Stay Golden, my dear. You rock.

MertzRocks

The writers and directors have argued over what Steve did in the end. One explanation is that he spent his life in an alternate timeline with Peggy after returning everything, then after she died he hopped back to the Prime timeline to hand his shield over.

Cody Cromarty

That’s what I had always assumed as well. Tony won’t create tech that he doesn’t have complete control over.

Kevin

In the scene where Tony gets the Stones from Thanos, he probably did really easily because the Gauntlet was made from the same nano tech from his suit.

Yuri Reis

YES! I've been beating this drum too. WandaVision is next!

Ellis Hugh

I’m not going to go through the comments to see if this has been explained already, but here it is, time travel theory for the LayNat. There are basically 3 theories as to the effects time travel would have. 1. The theory used by most movies is the most fun, where interacting with the past alters your present. Think any of the movies listed by Brodie and Lang..... except Die Hard. This has no bearing in Endgame. 2. The causal or fixed loop theory describes a system where you can’t change the past and anything you do has already been done before (think the original Terminator, the Terminator can’t kill Sarah because she is saved by Kyle who then fathers John who then sends Kyle back in response to the threat posed by the Terminator, completing the loop. 3. The theory used here is best described as a multiple timeline theory, (and is actually the most likely scenario if we could time travel based on Quantum Mechanics to my limited understanding) where altering the past doesn’t alter your present or relative future, but it does change the future for everyone in the past, hence their need to return everything back to the status quo as best they could (Loki kinda screwed that, likely creating a third timeline which we’ll likely see in his series). The problem a lot of people have is that by staying in the past, Cap really should have created yet another timeline, he shouldn’t have been in the “Prime” timeline at all after he jumped back with the stones. There is a theory of time travel described in “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” season 7 that may explain it. Think of a stream. Dropping a stick in it will deviate the flow, but is will quickly return to normal. Dump a pile of sticks in it and you may manage to change it’s flow along a brand new path, or perhaps it will return to the normal path further on. I’d you consider Steve to be the equivalent of the stick the stream can move around, and the infinity stones being the equivalent of a faggot of sticks (skip the jokes, guys, that’s what it’s called) that can divert the entire flow, PERHAPS it may make sense.

Darren Withers

Cap summoning Mjolnir, the portals scene, and Steve conferring the shield to Sam, those 3 moments ALWAYS get my feels going. I just with you were able to see the crowd reaction and spectacle on opening. It was absolutely amazing and epic and satisfying.

Dr. Poole

Exactly. Each time they went into the past, it's its own timeline, any changes there do not affect the MCU timeline. Though Steve going back and being able to live his life to present day doesn't entirely make sense unless he's always supposed to have done that? That's the only real hitch I see.

Dr. Poole

Also, don't know if you noticed, the song playing with Steve and Peggy at the end is the same song that played in Steve's apartment in Winter Soldier. That's one of the things I love with the Russo's; their insane and meticulous attention to details to have them all payoff in their own subtle ways.

Dr. Poole

"I thought I just saw Ant-Man massive." YES! THANK YOU! I've been saying this for 2 years now. It's a minor editing problem, but you're one of the rare few who've actually noticed that flaw. Also, loving your reaction here and, if you ever get around to watching Agent Carter, the actor they got to play human Jarvis is the same one who plays human Jarvis on that show.

Dr. Poole

Hey Nat if you wanna understand the time travel in this movie its as simple as changes to the past don't change the future but create an alternate timeline with those changes.

Hey Nat, you might enjoy this skit that pokes fun at Cap's happy ending: https://youtu.be/hBmj4rs1KrI

Loneclaw

So the reason the directors didn't have a funeral for Natasha was because her solo movie was coming out the year after and they didn't feel it'd be appropriate to fully say goodbye to the character before that. My condolences btw.

Bobby Riesco

Fun Fact Old Capt American was going to be Stan Lee, that's why is in every marvel movie. lol Your reactions are great but the random screaming kills my audio.

Keepitcam

hopefully with enough people mentioning it to her here and maybe in her real life, she can see the special credits that they did for the original Avengers. Also would be fun to see her watch the trailers for all the movies and see if they could have possibly spoiled the movies... and maybe bloopers or deleted scenes for some of the movies.

Joits

Now can move on to the series, with Agent Carter in there somewhere, along with Wandavision and Falcon/Winter...

jason carney

Yeah, we already saw two Caps fighting each other earlier in the film. So clearly, two Caps could exist at the same time.

GLENN WELSH

I swear I had to scream "That's not how time travel works!" about 20 times at my screen 😂😂😂 Also, watch the first half of the credits! I thought we had instilled it into you not to skip Marvel credits 😋

"Black Widow" isn't out yet. Watch "WandaVision." It will blow your mind.

Ken Schneyer

Re: Scarlett Johanson: If you watch both "Her" and "Under the Skin", you'll see the real range of her acting power. In one movie, she's nothing but a voice, and in the other, she barely speaks at all. Amazing.

Ken Schneyer

Please continue Marvel Monday with Spiderman Far From Home, WandaVision and Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

Ryan

There were two Nebulas, right? So there are two Caps. One is still in the ice. The other married Peggy.

Ken Schneyer

I think a reaction to Starship Troopers would be enjoyable.

G. T. Blackwell

Reminds me of that scene from Back to the Future. "If only I had more time... wait a minute, I got all the time I want, I got a time machine!"

Sigurður Kristjánsson

Actually that rat was the only 1:14,000,000 chance, in all of the other time lines that rat missed the van or the right series of buttons completely and nothing as ever able to change because Scott never got out of the Quantum Realm. Everything is owed to that rat.

Brian Straight

I think she was just more annoyed by the screen-sized time and place cards in Cap 2. Whereas here, and other movies, they were more "normal sized" but in Cap 2 they took up the WHOLE SCREEN!

Brian Straight

LOL. She picked up the kid from IM3 being at the funeral quicker than most people did watching Endgame in theaters! (Though most of us had forgotten about IM3 by that point.)

Brian Straight

Avengers: literally control a time machine Nat the whole movie: you don't have time for this!

Had to watch the whole thing with you, even though after watch P1 on YT yesterday caused me to want to watcha ll of End Game myself, I now am watching it again with your commentary. This was such a great movie and a great commentary with you!

Brian Straight

Nat, Happy saying "your dad liked cheeseburgers" was a callback to Iron Man 1, where the first thing he does when he gets brought back to America is buy a bunch of cheeseburgers and eat them at his press conference. :)

I like to think that with his experience of time travelling and planning this heist with Tony, he understands that he had to keep those things close to the chest, in order to preserve some semblance of the primary timeline. The ONE thing he's willing to change is the outcome of his and Peggy's romance. If he had any doubts about that before, him seeing that she keeps a photo of him PRE-Serum is his motivation to go through with his plan. OR maybe he didn't remain silent! Maybe in the reality he lived through, he prevented Bucky from killing the Starks, prevented HYDRA's rise, etc. We don't know! Loki has his Disney+ series which will address him meddling with his timeline. Maybe we'll get one someday about Steve's journey through time and him living his life!

Rob Nisperos

Hello Nataly, just want to say that I’ve enjoyed avery single minute of your Marvel movie reactions (as I’m a huge Marvel fan) and following you until Engame was pretty awesome and epic! Looking forward to your reactions in the near future to any movies and shows but specially to the Marvel ones. Thank you!

A break before WandaVision?! Please no. lol. WandaVision is amazing and can't wait to see what you think. The first 2 episodes came out together so they can be watched in one reaction. I really consider the first 3 episodes to be the setup for the rest of the series and you could swing out all 3 in one go if you like. I wouldn't mind. =)

A Vicarious View

Natalie, please watch Spider-Man: Far from Home. But please don't stop there. Watch WandaVision after Spider-Man. Start by watching Episodes 1 & 2 together, that was how they were released and gives a better understanding of the show. PLEASE!

David Brown

painful

Griff

unethical to stream a movie, also illegal.

Griff

This was painfully obnoxious to watch. How were you so entirely confused about the time travel stuff that it confused you throughout the entire 3rd act.

Griff

This is always a great finale to watch and seeing others react to it. Two years ago, this was the only movie and what will probably be my only one, where I saw it in IMAX, and it was an experience I will never forget. Yeah there were a few things in the Time travel thing that I didn't make sense of either during the first watch, but it mostly got better for me over time. This was an amazing finale that was pretty nicely paced for its 3 hour runtime. One thing I really was looking forward to was your reaction to the main credits where it shows the whole cast and then the main six Avengers line up as that was beyond perfect and the music was amazing..but that's alright. This was mostly the first reaction I seen with you and you get pretty invested, which is pretty good. Good on ya for the future of the MCU hopefully.

Flashy Wolf

So happy to go on this. journey with you! I know it's your channel and you can do what you want but please don't take a break lol Wanda Vision is so amazing, especially if you love Wanda. I'm really excited for you to watch it. Maybe take a break after Black Widow since there won't be another Marvel movie until September haha. I'm just really excited for you to watch the series as they really delve deeper into these characters we haven't spent much time with in the films.

Corey

Just because Steve went back in time to have a life with Peggy, that doesn't mean that everything that happened involving Cap in the other movies didn't happen. It's still all happened. You're confusing traveling back in time with reversing time. Time wasn't reversed. While this Steve is living a life with Peggy, his younger self is still frozen in ice in the Arctic, and that frozen Cap will eventually be found and thawed out so he can take part in The Avengers and all that followed it. In that time, older Steve married Peggy and grew old with her, and very likely lived a low-key life with a fake alias. He's married to the director of SHIELD. Cooking up a fake identity for him is probably not a problem.

GLENN WELSH

Honestly. I’ve spent so long inundating myself with all of these movies/media/con tent that I forgot what it was like to watch things for the first time. And Natalie just has such a genuine appreciation/understanding for the art. And it’s been great to watch the raw/truly emotional experience happen in real time. I am very frugal. I’ve determined that this is a necessity. Amazing content, superb community. I’ve only watched the short versions of the videos, I can’t wait to go back through and watch along with my own copies. Love you all 3,000.

Bryan Murray

Sameeeee.

Bryan Murray

I’m sure other people have explained already but it’s different timelines rather than the back to the future type time traveling cause and effects.

VK

Wandavision is so good....... i can't say anymore

Peepee

I really didn't want to wait for part 2 so now I'm here

RivEx

Simplest Endgame Timeline explanation ive found https://youtu.be/kn2IoDzI8L0

why do she blur the video on patreon?

ramon carter

She's been putting them on youtube as private videos, which she did here. Problem is that Youtube is currently down worldwide

Matthew Belardo

No one tried harder to fix what happened than Natasha. It’s fitting that she did gave everything. She kept wanting to help the world to make up for her past before Shield.

Eddie

Dang she really did cry alot

You really need to put these on something besides google drive because I can't download it and I can't stream it. I literally cannot access the content I'm paying for and that's kind of a problem. EDIT: literally can't even download Infinity War reaction which was...one month ago. Complete waste of five dollars.

Hugh Mungus

At the end of Endgame, we see how broken Wanda still is. She's just empty inside. What a great job by Lizzie Olsen perfectly setting up WandaVision. Feige made the right call cutting Wanda's post-credits scene in Endgame. It was perfect the way it was. If you didn't know about Wanda's grief before.......you will.

Jeff E

The main issue with cap into the past is that he had to remain silent to any future event, all Hydra stuff, Bucky killing Howard Stark etc. I'll like to see how could have been that reallity. I hope you enjoyed the journey as much as we all did ^^

Lucius De Fer

Props on catching the continuity error with the "large antman" in the battle scene. Even the Russo brothers were surprised they didn't catch that in editing when someone pointed that out to them. Great reaction as always.

Brian Jones

She also has talked about how much she LOVES Wanda over and over, which is why I can't wait for her to watch WandaVision. It's another journey that will bring laughs and tears but it'll be so worth it for her reaction. I found the best reactions were for those people who really had an affinity for Wanda and/or Vision prior to the series. She is definitely a big Wanda stan!

Jeff E

Yes. I just deleted my comment after seeing yours. This is exactly it. Every single planet in every solar system lost half of their population. Captain Marvel was out there busting her ass trying to help as many as she could.

Jeff E

Yes! She loves Wanda like I do, so I'm beyond excited to watch her reactions! The people who really care about one or both of those characters really got a little extra out of that series, I think. It was great for any and everyone, but I think it was extra special for those of us who really care about Wanda.

Jeff E

This movie posits that going back into the past doesn't change the future. It just creates alternative timelines where and when things are changed.

Chas Summers

I love your reaction Nat, you made me cry along with you even though I've watched End Game 50-11 times lol

The fact that Thor didn't believe he was worthy after he lost to Thanos gets me every time, Caps last speech never fails to give me chills and everything from him lifting up Mjolnir to avengers assemble was sincerely the greatest moments of my life

This is Why I came to Patreon for you and this was well worth it. I look Forward to watching you and marvel in the future

Joshua Foley

Old Steve Rogers was at the funeral scene in civil war with young Steve Rogers, other timelines werent created because they returned the stones and the hammer and you should also watch the latest loki trailer to understand a lot better

The way I imagine it is when Loki escaped with the tesseract he created a new reality where that happened, but that doesn't change how the original reality that we saw turned out. They can't change their own history, they create a new history when they go back in time.

John

Loki is alive because he grabbed the tesaract in the lobby when they were trying to recover it, so it’s not the Loki who died come back to life, it’s the Loki from right after Avengers 1 that will be in the new series. Great reaction as always. Was so fun to retake this journey with you.

Travis

Actually, of course this film does show one big issue. Loki died, but in the past he escaped with the Tessaract. So Thor The Dark World and Ragnarok didn't happen? I'm sure the Loki series might delve into that ;-) 99% of what Feige does in the MCU is pretty much planned so I'm sure its fine

The Goateed Geek

Essentially, if you go back now into the past and don't change anything essentially what did happen still happens. So Cap is still buried in the ice, he's found by SHIELD and all the events you've seen in the films still happen. At the same time his future self is there, living out a life with Peggy Carter. There are holes in the storyline that the directors admitted to. like does Peggy still set up SHIELD, does Cap keep quiet about HYDRA's infiltration of SHIELD etc. But, Meh, Cap got Peggy, I'm happy

The Goateed Geek

Been waiting for this since Iron Man 1. HERE WE GOOOOOO. Been watching your vids since Star Wars and LOTR, and i couldnt be more stoked to see your reaction to this amazing movie and end of this phase of this amazing universe!

Such a great reaction😭😭. You crying made me cry Nat. I luv the MCU& can't wait for u to continue the journey through it. Luv u homie

Stoned Misthios

Hi Natalie. I'm a new suscriber from Lima, Peru. Love your marvel reactions. Please react to wandavision. If you're watching chronologically, then Wandavision is next. Because Spiderman far from home happens a few months after endgame. And wandavision is in the middle. Hope you're having a great day :) 😊

Fiorella Burgos

I've seen different reasons for why some stones can be handled, but the simplest answer for Hulk is he is not a normal human. Just like Thanos as an Eternal could hold the stones while assembling his gauntlet but was only hurt by using all six in a massive show of power, Hulk is super durable and could handle the time stone undamaged. As for how Tony got the stones, the Heroes' gauntlet was a Stark made nanotech gauntlet, just like his normal suit. He used his suits AI to move the stones from one piece to the other. Finally, time travel in this film is simpler than you think, when they travel in time the changes they make are creating an alternate timeline and the wristbands that Tony make allow them to return to their original timeline. Time is always a straight line an arrow pointing always forward in the film. They are altering the future of the timeline they interact with, but not the future they have already experienced previously. That is how past Thanos and past Gamora came to their present without violating the sacrifice Thanos made of Gamora to get the Soul Stone in Infinity War. Extending that thought out, the timeline of the Thanos from the end of the film will NEVER experience the snap, because their Thanos and all his forces disappeared (also why Nebula killing herself didn't affect present day Nebula, the past version isn't exactly the same person, and definitely not the one who became her own killer). Worth noting is that the Cap that went back to the past to replace all the stones was present day Steve, he'd already done everything that needed doing, and (by the film's explanation) he was traveling to an alternate past/Peggy (Though the Russo Brothers say he went to his own past) anyway. He'd already had all the adventures needed to get the MCU to the place it needed to be, and nothing he did in that "past" would alter the present.

Joe Porras

Oh if you haven't I definitely recommend Spiderman into the spider-verse

Riham Rizvi

I don't think this is quite right. Its implied that when Cap returns the aether/reality stone to Asgard he returns the hammer as well, so it too was never gone.

Daniel Siegel

In the comics Banner finds a way to combine himself with the Hulk, Eariler in the comics when he lost himself to rage he turned grey (like the 2nd time he fights wolverine) They wanted to try to do a grey hulk in the early avengers, but the producers voted it down.

Rudolph Koch

I'll be waiting on those WandaVision reactions now.

For clarification when Cap Marvel says, “the things that are happening on earth are happening on earth are happening on other planets.” And you said “why? He destroyed the stones.” It’s because when he snapped his fingers it eliminated half of life on all planets in the entire universe, not just earth.

Travis

I enjoyed your reactions to the MCU so much, this was a treat. During it you asked how Tony got all the stones, the glove they were in was an iron man glove so his suit just took them from that glove to his. Also the downloads for some of your older movies, like Captain America The First Avenger, don't work any more.

John Smith

Man, Nat needs to find a better way of hosting these videos. Once again I'm going to have to wait several days before the option to download become available.

How did Tony get the infinity stones from Thanos? It was a clever heist. The first time, Thanos was using his own Infinity gauntlet. This time, the glove was made by Tony using Tony's nanotechnology. Tony had a way to simply cause the one gauntlet to shift the stones to the other gauntlet, so all the attempts to keep the glove away from Thanos were just misdirection. All they really needed was for Tony to get his other glove close. Since they didn't tell the audience what was happening, it was a big cheer moment, but also a confusing one, and forgotten after Tony dies.

Alan Kobb

Couldn't possibly say everything I'd want to say on such a long movie. I've very much been looking forward to this and it was super worth it. Happy Anniversary as well, I've started watching a few months in, and always happy when there's a new upload. It's been heart-wrenching to see you tell us how much Natasha is your favourite character for months now, when we'd all seen Endgame. Between Gamora and Thanos' fake "love" and this, I still occasionally get angry at the stupid Soul Stone; "special wisdom" my [behind]! :D Keep it up!

Shen V

This is an emotional rollercoaster movie sometimes. Still hits hard every time I watch it. And wow can't believe its been a whole year of Marvel movies here and its finally finished. Sad that its over, happy that it happened.

Ian Kaye

Hi Nat, after watching you're reaction to Avengers Endgame i felt the need to express a few things. Firstly never apologise for showing emotion. one of the first things that led to me being a member of you're patreon was you're honesty of being a genuine person. i am also aware that this came during an emotional part of your life and i would like to express my condolences on the loss you suffered, i look forward to watching your many reactions moving forward Kindest of Regards Dom

Dom H

You can stream it by clicking on the image above. It's an unlisted video on Nat's Youtube page, allowing more people to watch it simultaneously. The downloadable video is on Google Drive and only allows so many downloads at a time, and then it resets.

Darryl Low

Maybe write down your questions for later? Just a suggestion bc some of them might be answered if you watch and you won’t be missing anything.

We actually have a surprisingly good idea of how time would work if you travelled and changed things, "it gets complicated" is probably where you should leave that though lol

MichaelB

I have not been able to download for two days.... but i can stream it? that make sense to anyone?

TexasNight

This is really good Advice

Lorenzo Da

Can’t wait to watch along later ❤️

Travis

Yeah, so when the Avengers travelled through time, any potential changes they made created a new timeline. It didn't affect the one they've lived through (ie. the one we as viewers have spent the last decade following). So when they return to OUR timeline, it's not affected still. And as Hulk/Ancient One explain, after dealing with Thanos, going back and returning the stones (and Mjlonir) to the points they were taken, they effectively prevent creating a new timeline. As it stands, the discrepancies are Loki taking the tesseract 2012 (which will be addressed in "Loki"), and Captain America creating a new timeline where he spends the rest of his life with Peggy. The permanent deaths legit are Tony, Natasha, Vision, and Gamora. Though, in the case of Gamora, we have a new "version" out there, who was displaced from her timeline, and doesn't have experiences with the Guardians. And Captain Marvel found Tony at the beginning, after meeting the Avengers in the post-credit scene of her movie. They probably convened, drew up search plan, and sent her off. Or Rocket could've had a tracker on his ship, and sent her to those coordinates. The movie starts roughly 20-or-so days after "Infinity War", so it's conceivable that it took her a while to find them, or it took that long to get to Tony's location on her own. After watching "Spider-Man: Far Frome Home", I definitely understand you taking a break haha. For the rest of us, it was a YEAR-LONG break before we got "WandaVision". In a way, that year off was beneficial for the MCU. As with anything, good or bad, the constant barrage of content can be overwhelming and can burn you out. Definitely chill and react to other stuff (or just relax haha), and THEN come back to MCU content. There's definitely more to check out with "WandaVision" & "Falcon and the Winter Soldier", and soon "Loki" and "Black Widow". And FYI, "Black Widow" takes place between "Civil War" and "Infinity War". The reason why she didn't get her funeral, ultimately, was because Marvel had her movie ready to go as her swan-song. Great reactions! It's awesome revisiting these through fresh eyes!

Rob Nisperos

When you do get to WandaVison just accept that for the first two episodes, maybe three, you will have no clue what's going on. Just go along for the ride.

Ron K

Nat, if you didn't, you should really watch the end credits. They're a special tie-up.

Muhammad

its nano tech once he touched it the nano bot just moved them to him

Ben Gilshenan

I am here to answer all questions: They didn't travel back in their own timeline, they created new realities/timelines for every time period they went back to. So, for instance, there is a reality out there now where Quill gets knocked out and never steals the power stone (or meets the other members Guardians of the Galaxy), but technically, Captain America is supposed to go back to all of the different timelines at the end of the movie and return the stones to the moments where they were taken by the Avengers during the course of the movie. This restores those realities, but it doesn't restore the events that were changed preceding the moment the stones were taken. So yes, the Avengers 100% messed with the timelines (proper order of events) of the other realities. At the end of the movie, it is revealed that after Cap returned all the stones to their respective realities, he stayed in one of the past realities in the 1940s, in order to live out a life with Peggy (finally able to fulfill his promise to dance with her that he made at the end of First Avenger). Once Peggy died, he took the last Pym Particle and the time suit and returned to our reality, as an old man having lived his whole life in a separate reality. As for how Tony got the stones off of Thanos' gauntlet, you can actually see what he does in a frame by frame slow down of the movie. Since Tony's current Iron Man suit is made from nanobots, when he is wrestling with Thanos over the gauntlet, the nanobots from his glove grabs on to all of the stones and pull them off. Thanos doesn't realize this until it is too late. As for all of the "permanent deaths", Loki, Black Window, and Gamora are actually dead. They weren't blipped away, they died before that. A past version of Gamora returns to the current timeline on Thanos’ ship. She has never met any of the Guardians of the Galaxy, so she doesn't remember any of them. I imagine the next Guardians film is going to be about getting her back. The Black Widow movie takes place before Endgame, so unless that movie changes something, she is going to remain dead permanently. And Loki, if you remember, grabbed the tesseract and escaped in the 2012 attack on New York reality, so the new Loki tv series is going to be about this past version of Loki (and it is supposed to address the damage to the timeline that Endgame made). As for why normal people can hold the Infinity Stones, only the Power Stone kills you if you hold it. People can pick up the other stones without a problem. Also, Doctor Strange needs to get 99% of the credit for saving the day. He used the Time Stone to look into all of the possible futures, and found only one in which they won. In order to make this reality happen, he had to time giving Thanos the time stone to a very precise movement, so that when Scott Lang went into the Quantum Realm at the end of Ant Man 2, he would be stuck there during the snap (which happens only moments later). Thus, Scott never gets snapped away and returns by pure luck because of the rat at the storage unit, and introduces the idea of the Time Heist to the other Surviving Avengers. So yes, 99% of the credit goes to Doctor Strange, and the other 1% goes to that rat. Where is the rat monument?

WackySwacky

the way time travel works is it makes a branch time line so when thor took the hammer it made a second one from that point in time onwards. the first where he has the hammer the second where he didnt have his hammer cap at the end whent to return the stones to when they took them so that there isnt a branch in the time line also the ant-man where he was in the van but then in giant form was just a mistake in editing they re-edited it and they missed it also the i heart you 3000 is because he said he loves here tons and a ton is 1000KG so he is saying i love you 2000 and she is one uping him, like father like daughter

Ben Gilshenan

Tony's character arc tho from being one of the most self centered people in Malibu to the most selfless man in the universe

Darnell Dickerson

Has it already been a year? I wasn't there day 1, but I think I started watching pretty early on. Very appropriate you celebrate it with Endgame. You were definitely not the only one going to the tissue box for this one (even though I've seen it several times it still gets me). As usual, looking forward to what comes next.

Robert Avila

Agreed!

Zeliodes

Please watch Wanda vision sooner than later

Rich

Natalie: "I'm so emotional!" Us: We know. It's why we love you. It's why we wanted to go on this journey with you.

Ordegar

Loved this reaction 3000. Happy Anniversary, Nat. Looking forward to more great videos😁

Wiremu Marshall

I found the channel back when I was looking for stuff on burning man. Then the reactions started. Now the comments are soooo crowded. lol. Anyway... WandaVision ;)

Amos T Fairchild

It is quite impressive that Nat was able to avoid spoilers, especially on Youtube where videos have a screenshot of the end sacrifice. Great, emotional reaction! Also, the simplest explanation for time travel in this film is that the characters return to their original timeline when they travel back to the present, regardless of anything they changed in the past. In Back to The Future, a character would enter an alternate timeline when returning to the present, if something major in the past was changed. These two Youtube clips really help explain both theories of Time Travel. https://youtu.be/kn2IoDzI8L0 (Avengers: Endgame) https://youtu.be/W3LwlSlo5cw (Back to the Future Trilogy)

There's still Spidey and two shows left to be caught up.

Connor Ellis

I cannot wait for you to see Wandavision and Falcon and the Winter Soldier! I think if you watched these two series (there are less episodes than you'd think, so it wouldn't take as long) before taking an MCU break, you wouldn't regret it. Marvel hit it out of the park with these two shows. If you kept up with your viewing schedule for Marvel Mondays, you will possibly make it to the Loki series as they are coming out. Loved your review of Endgame!

In Infinity War, When Thanos snaps. He doesn’t just kill half of life on Earth. He kills half of life in the Universe. In this movie, he realizes he has to kill everything in the universe.

Flick Freaks

Why I am blocked after watching a single video? I am free today and after that, I am working the whole week. I won't be able to watch it tomorrow. How I am supposed to continue the purchase if this continues.

watch wandavision before you take a break from the MCU!

Think of time like a river. If you go back and change something, the river branches off into a new stream. That is how time travel in this works. If you alter time, that changed timeline becomes a new alternate reality where those different things happened. Meanwhile, the new reality branches off from the original reality which is unchanged. So in theory, you could go back and murder your grandparents, and your reality / timeline would be fine. You on the other hand, end up in a new stream, a timeline where your grandparents were murdered. Which is what was said in the movie. If you got back in time, the past becomes your new future. And your new future can't change your original past.

Dreameroutthere

Lol I'm sorry you were confused the whole ride, but you just have to watch a couple more times. But WOW great catch on the continuity error of Ant-Man being giant (when he was already regular sized in the van) while Black Panther had the glove. I never caught that.

the continent

Hulk states that "changing the past doesn't change the future." We can't know if that's how it really works since real time travel doesn't exist, but that's how it works in the movie. That's why they didn't just go back and kill baby Thanos. It wouldn't change events that have already occurred in the present. It's also why it was OK for Captain America to go back to Peggy. His 2024 self went back in time while his 1945 self remained frozen in ice. So they exist as two different people. Great reaction. Worth every penny.

SuicuneSol

I see a lot of people trying to explain the time travel in this movie and I'll just add this: The approach to time travel in Endgame more or less boiled down to, "Just go with it." So that's always been my attitude toward it. Whatever, it works, just go with it. Also, Loki isn't dead, he used the Space Stone to take a portal to Disney+. :)

Jordan Freemyer

"Back five years in the future" is one of those phrases that only come up in time travel stories.

John Graziano

You did it! Them feels tho

Kelvin

It's just one movie and then she can watch WandaVision. Don't see why that's a concern.

acidnova

Don’t forget to watch Spider-Man: Far From Home!!!

Daniel Casillas

NAT - its much, much more important that you watch WandaVision than Spider-Man: Far From Home. It picks up just a few weeks after Endgame and the Spider-Man movie doesn't happen until months afterwards. And its a pretty quick easy watch, there are 9 episodes but most of them are only 22 - 26 minutes long.

Ellis Hugh

thats... a bit much lol

Timten

i really think it was the kinda thing that needed a diagram. like online you can kinda all kinds of timetravel diagrams except for maybe primer lol. but yeah people get hung up on it despite the movie clearly stating that the mainstream portrayal of time travel doesn't operate that way if it were to operate at all.

Vincent Valentin

14,000,605 + Just everybody remember, Tony died, but it was Doctor Strange who saved this universe/reality, that we just watched in our universe/reality. He had to fast forward through 14,000,605 outcomes before he found ONE, in which they won, and QUIT... there might have been a version in which Natasha and Tony survived but he probably woulda had to watch like 42,001,815 times at least, that's too just too much to ask for anyone, but he found that one and here we are folks.... Moral of the story, listen to your Doctor, even if he is a little Strange. Oh wait, what if Doc watched 14,000,605 alternate timelines until he found one in which HE survived??? 🤔 I'm just saying, it's kind of a deus ex machina (or another term I'm forgetting), any questions about butterfly effect(s) about Cap staying in the past after he'd finally completed his last mission, to be with Peggy (I would too), in this 14,000,605th version it works. I just think it's funny to imagine Dr. Strange choosing which future/reality he's cool with 🤣 PS: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! Can't remember just this moment which was the first Natalie Gold reaction I watched, really curious now. Might have been Star Wars.

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

I think after watching Spiderman 2 you should react to the Marvelpart of the Disney Investors Day last december. Everything that was announced there was very stunning for mcu fans

I love how confused you were during this whole thing 😂

BNJ

She was lost the whole movie. Like there's dialogue that helps understand but she talked over a lot of it. Unfortunate.

Inhale Burrito

Also... Barely 20 seconds into the show: "I can't do this, I can't do this, I can't do this, I can't do this, I can't do this..." 8O

Richard Ryan

i was going to explain the time travel for you but Lisa Tosti-Sauro explained perfectly, everything that happened, still happens. Love you 3000!

Al Baughman

Just finished watching, only.commented once before and I gotta say something. I've been hooked on watching people react to movies since I was a kid. I've always loved talking movies and showing people one they haven't seen. A few years ago I found YouTube reactions and was loving it! Then I found Natalie Gold. Always such great and REAL reactions! This Marvel journey really was incredible! I'm also loving the Game of Thrones watchthroughs. Keep it up Natalie! Your reactions make my day!

WhatTheSpock

Before you take a long break from the MCU you should probably watch Wandavision and Falcon and the Winder Soldier while you're still in the emotions from Endgame they're both closely related to Infinity War and Endgame and will hit you hard too!

Heliastein

I hope this helps you understand the time travel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn2IoDzI8L0

John Weyen

Avengers Endgame "Time Travel" worked like this. In the main timeline, the avengers travel back to the past to obtain the stones and bring them to the future. By changing the events of the past it creates its own "branch" timeline off of the main timeline. Think of time as a tree branch and the smaller branches growing off of the main branch are different timelines where a certain event changed or happened differently.

Ok, the way I see Cap's mystery adventure play out is this: He had enough pym particles to get the journey started, but he was also tasked with returning the stones and Mjolnir to their proper moments in time... but one of the stones is the Time Stone. Also, we only saw the purple stone violently destroy people who touched it. Moreover, Cap is worthy of Mjolnir so if it takes someone exceptional to wield a stone... When all of that returning stuff was over, he didn't just have a Dance with Peggy, finally. He married her. You leaned away for a tissue when they focussed on it, but Old Steve on the bench had a wedding ring on. Also, where Loki's concerned, an opportunity to skip out and have adventures skidded to a stop right at his feet. Lastly, you were wondering how Tony got the stones out of Thanos' gauntlet... Remember, that monster-sized gauntlet was one of Tony's Ironman gloves to begin with. It reconfigured itself for Hulk's fist, but it's still Tony's Tech. I know it's a bit of a stretch, but I like to think that Friday (Tony's Suit-Computer) made the Hulk-Thanos glove vomit the gems the last time grabbed for it. If not that, Friday would have been able to 'grow' a few small knives pry the gems out stupid-fast.

Richard Ryan

Imagine your life as a bead on a string. When you travel back in time, you're still traveling along YOUR timeline, you're not moving the bead back and changing your entire string, and you're not switching to a new string. You're simply re-experiencing events that have happened in your past, and your bead is still moving along like it normally does. Human beings can only exist in the 3rd dimension. We're not biologically capable of existing in the 4th.

I want to know why Loki taking the Tesseract when he escaped from 2012 didn't frell with things. But maybe that'll be answered in the series.

Michael G. Munz

also the song that plays was Peggy and Caps song from the 1st avenger. it also came up when fury crept in his apartment in CA: Winter soldier. It was definitely a moment. this was all fan service. amazing

Anthony Dimas

the chheseeburger thing between morgan and happy was a moment. when tony cameback from ironman 1.. firs thing he asked for after he got kidnapped was a cheeseburger

Anthony Dimas

FWIW - Noobmaster69 on Fortnite? Officially canon that its Deadpool. Seriously, has there ever been a movie that made you laugh AND cry this much??? Also, I think you missed it - the 'Hey, man - make Love, not War!' guy was Stan Lee in the last official cameo before his death... R.I.P. Lastly, to answer your question 'how did Tony do that?', remember that both the Iron Man suit and the glove that Tony Stark made to hold the stones were nanotech, meaning that they are basically just made of tiny particles that work together by mental command... all he did was get one glove to transfer the stones to the other glove while they were grappling.

Ellis Hugh

Can't wait to watch you react to WandaVision!!

Jenny Tolls

His existence is a change, the universe isn't going to be tricked into allowing a change by being sneaky! He had to be in an alternate time line, there is no other explanation.

MichaelB

Just click on the preview instead of the googledoc link. The preview is from the youtube upload (full-length)

acidnova

The Black Widow death hit me harder than Tony Stark. I wish that they had a memorial for her too but it wouldn't have fit in the movie. Congratulations on your one year anniversary.

jahmeltaylor

Just click on the video preview and watch that. It's linked from the youtube page, not googledocs.

acidnova

Amusingly time in real life is even stranger than in movies. In physics the maths suggests that the events of time do not have to happen in any given order for the universe to work correctly.

MichaelB

It was so nice to go down this road again with fresh eyes. Thank you! In its own way it was like seeing a long lost friend. Wandavision will make you cry! But it is so good!

Keith Wing

Dude, that makes no sense. It can't all be one timeline because mutually exclusive events happened. 2012 Loki escaped; he can't be imprisoned in the same circumstances as 2013 Loki. The 2014 Nebula and Thanos *died*. They can't be from the same timelines as the 2018 versions. The Hulk/Ancient One conversation explains some things but I don't think you understood the explanation.

Thank you for this journey!

SM

It was delightful re-watching these movies with you! I highly suggest watching Wandavision, I think you will love it.

Rebecca Solomon

Heh, this just popped up on my Facebook feed! https://youtu.be/-onk-Qm7ATw

Richard

Well when you do get around to wandavision ill be here. I'm looking forward to those reactions most.

William JV

There are two caps. One that went back in time and one that we follow throughout the entire MCU movies

TheVenerate

The Hulk did explain it, sort of. Basically, you can't change your timeline by going back in time. Once you go back, the present becomes the past, and the past becomes your future. You can't affect your past by affecting your future. All that stuff that Captain America did all still happened.

First off, I need to say it - really wish you had watched the end credits. But given how upset you were, it can be understood and forgiven. You did it again. I’ve seen Endgame LOADS of times, but this was the first time I got ready when Tony... well, thank you again for breaking that dam for me. And yes, hasn’t the journey been extraordinary? The only way to fly really, to just watch and experience, even if you doubt, even if you think it’s not for you. It surprises and I think is incredibly rewarding. As to the future, well, of course we’d all like more, but I’m cool with other stuff. Looking forward to it even. Variety is the spice of life. I said this on Discord, but I really cannot say thank you enough. It’s too small for all you have so generously given and shared. The laughter, the tears, the cheers and wherever 50 Shades and the Rains of Castemere fall in in the spectrum. I couldn’t have made it through this past year without your videos, discovering, rediscovering and giving second chances to so much. And all in 365 days! Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes. I owe you for the times you helped when you didn’t know you were needed. Tyler and Koda are blessed to have in full what we have in passing. But I do know one thing for certain - the comfort of having a friend to go to the movies with. And we’re all lucky. I’m still Golden because of you. We love you 3000.

Matthew Periolat

Natalie, for another ScarJo movie recommendation I’d suggest “The Prestige,” though she’s only a supporting actor in that. But that movie’s awesome because you have Batman, Wolverine, Alfred, Gollum, Jareth the Goblin King and Mya from Iron Man 3 all in it!

Richard

Wow, that's a lot of comments. I saw a lot of people attempting to explain the time travel questions you raised, with a lot of conflicting information. Let me clear it up : it's a comic book movie. It's a GREAT comic book movie at the end of a GREAT series of comic book movies. Just enjoy it.

Thomas Yanez

Kudos to the anniversary (I dunno what those party favors you referenced are either). Particularly due to the events of the last fifteen months it was a joy to watch somebody enjoy the movies I enjoyed on their first viewing. Thank you for the joyride and looking forward to more good stuff.

Michael Labs

A lot of comments did actually.

YodatheHobbit

He didn't lose it though, since Cap took it back with him when he returned the stones to put right back where Thor stole it. So from the perspective of 2013 Thor on Asgard, it never left.

YodatheHobbit

32 minutes in, when he snapped it wasn't just on heart, it was the whole universe. So all the crysis created by the snap on heart are repeated on every planets in the universe.

Heliastein

There was something at the ending :) A nice tribute to tony.

uncaged.ulfhedinn

Aw man I was really hoping you have included watching the end credits sequence in your full reaction. Great reaction, but sometimes when you're busy "logicing" the plot out loud you miss some important lines and details which help explain the plot.

YodatheHobbit

I haven't watched the reaction yet but I can see everyone is all over the time travel plot device thing lol. I'll just say I didn't have an issue with it just because I'd heard some interesting theories about time travel and alternate realities way back in this particular time line we find ourselves in. And I'm sure many of us cringed when she mentioned her favorite characters 😬 but at least Nat won't have to wait as long as we did for a worthy continuation, just gonna put it out there... WANDAVISION 🤘🏽❤️ Well after a shitty day, and without further adoo, I got my drink🍺, got my snack 🌯 and I'm ready to dive into this reaction!

Joe D. MacGuffinstuff

This might have been one of the most ambitious movie ever made. They had to wrap up over 20 other movies and their storylines while being an entertaining movie on its own. They did wonderfully. I remember sitting in the theater watching the Avengers. I have been a fan of these characters since childhood, but I never thought I would see a large budget live action movie about them. Then the team up scene happened... seeing the Avengers there in New York getting ready to fight... I was awestruck. It was like a dream come true. Then this movie... The "Assemble" moment... Not only did I see the Avengers get together... but also the wakandans... asgardians... wizards... guardians... seriously I started weeping as soon as I heard "Cap, do you hear me?... on your left." I still am in tears by the end after dozens of viewings. I also love that Cap and Tony proved each other wrong from the Avengers. Cap told Tony that he was not the man to lie down on the wire, and Tony told Cap that the only thing that was special about him came out of a bottle. Tony doing the snap as well and Cap picking up the hammer... beautifully done. Mix that with Bruce learning the reason he was made. In Avengers he confided in Tony about not being sure why Hulk "saved him." Here, he admitted "It was like I was made for this." Thor and his arc was beautiful. Being a man who battles depression, it was amazing to see that on screen done fairly well... and the hero still being heroic, even if he struggles. I couldn't have been happier with this movie.

Max Yoder

Unless Scarlet is done with the Natasha character and she doesn't want any part of it any more, I have always said (before covid) If the Black Widow movie does very well in the box office, they will find a way to bring Nat back just like they did with Gamora. Go back snatch her up and bring her forward in time. Unfortunately, with not as many people heading to the theaters and not as many theaters open these days, I doubt Black Widow will make the money they want it to or the amount of money needed for them to make the decision to bring her back. But we can only hope.

James Young

It's only the power stone that people can't hold

TheVenerate

She has to comment and verbally react, or it's really boring for us. Otherwise, we're just watching her silently watch a movie.

Jon Hoover

Natalie, you wonderful soul. I hope you never change... but I do hope you start using a compressor because every time you get excited... or sad... or scared... or tickled by something, you wake up my baby, the dog, and I'd have to assume the old gods who have slumbered in the endless darkness. I would never want you to temper your enthusiasm, but a compressor can save so many eardrums. I would be happy to send you one if you'd like.

Garrett Henderson

Oh also, Tony gets the stones because of his nanotech. It can shift and move and he puts his glove over the stones and absorbs them into his suit. At least that is how I understand it.

Lisa Tosti

Frowny face. Quota exceeded, I can't watch. :(

Black Heart Games

Okay so I'm going to try to remember some of the things I wanted to answer for you. I'm sure other have as well but just in case. First, the closest pop culture property that does time travel like this is the show Lost. I'm not sure if you have seen that but they talk about it the same way. If you go back in time, it means that those moments have already happened in the past. You can't rewrite the past. BUT you can impact the people and things you come into contact with. This applies to the Pym particles that Cap takes in 1970. Remember how Hank Pym hates Stark? At the beginning of AntMan we see that clip of Howard, Hank, and Peggy and Hank accuses Howard of stealing the Pym particles but Howard didn't do that. Because Cap had taken them. This is how time travel works in the movie. Everything that already happened in the past, happens now as the story unfolds. As for Loki, the Loki from our current timeline is dead. He died in Infinity War. However, when they drop the tesseract at Loki's feet and he disappears, Loki for 2012 breaks off into a different branch of time. This is where his show will pick up and follow this new timeline for Loki. You may want to read up on what the Russo brothers say about Cap and going back. Basically from what I understand, Cap lives his life in an alternate timeline and uses the last particle to get himself back to this current timeline. Therefore the events in the other timeline would be different from those that we saw throughout the movies. But I will say, this still confuses a lot of fans. You are not the only one. I'm really excited for you to watch Spiderman and WandaVision. Knowing how much you love both of those characters, I know you will love both the next Spiderman movie and the Wandavision series. Thank you for dedicating all this time to watching all the movies. Its been FANTASTIC to watch them again with you!

Lisa Tosti

I agree, but, to be fair, she saw Iron Man 3 a couple of months ago. We waited like 8 years in between.

Jon Hoover

Great reaction, was gonna try and help explain the time travel but I see a ton of comments already doing it, This movie is my all time favorite Movie, It is perfect in every way and even though this is like the 15th time watching it, I still cry at least 5 times throughout each time i see it(must be an extra emotional day because this time it was more like 10 times lol), I love the way Tony and Caps ending was opposite of when they were introduced, Tony was selfish in the 1st Iron Man and died selfless thinking of everyone else, and Cap was selfless in the 1st Captain America and he grew old doing something only for himself, also I love/hate the Natasha death scene, it's beautiful that they are trying to die to save the other and just their performances both were brilliant, also while there was funny moments Thor's story here was horribly sad, he was suffering from PTSD at the most extreme level and the talk with his mother was so damn beautifully done, also that moment where Cap uses Mjonir was freaking epic

Jason Usher

Come on Natalie. They directly explained how time travel works and doesn't work in terms of the modern expectation. Like this was a conversation directly to camera. It was an entire scene! I know you were there - I was watching you like a stalker through your window. I thought some of the time-travel exposition was a little on the nose, even if entertaining and amusing. But to watch Natalie completely miss the directly stated conclusions and it affect her understanding and thus enjoyment of the rest of the film it really makes me consider how difficult it can be to convey meaning appropriately. Especially when it comes to something as inherently nonsensical as time travel. Film making is definitely an art. 0

DWM

such a great reaction!!

LegacyFilms

everyone else can try and explain the time travel stuff for you so im just gonna say we love you 3000!

Cap has ALWAYS been worthy. In Age of Ultron, he could have picked up Thor's hammer, but he chose not to because he didn't want to embarrass Thor.

Doug Watson

Phew, we gotta mix in some comedies where we won’t be crying so much. I teared up all over this one. As far as Cap, I’m really curious what he was up to all that time. Secretly married to Peggy while his other body was frozen in ice.

Joe Blankenship

Did she watch the signature post scene on her own time off camera or completely missed it?

Rashad Walker

FUCK. Nobody told you to watch through the credits. There's a going away gift for the whole cast.

Connor Ellis

To clarify the time travel Nat, they aren't "manipulating" the past at all. That's their rule. If you change the past you create a whole new timeline, and they are trying to avoid that. Unfortunately they do cause a new timeline to be created when Loki got the Tesseract. But when Steve went back, he didn't change anything and led a life in hiding allowing history to proceed as it originally did, thus ensuring he didn't create any other timelines.

Inhuman Paradox

changing the past DOESN'T change the future. If you changed something about your past, you wouldn't be affecting your own past. It's all from the perspective of the person. So you're past was back in the future.

Connor Ellis

Watch LUCY with Scar Jo in it really good to see her range!

Jayson Phillips

I've loved every moment of our marvel adventure! I can't wait to see whats next!

john collins

You missed the end credits!! The best ever!!! I hate seeing you cry tho lol.

Jayson Phillips

I think Cap lived out his life in whatever alternate timeline that resulted from his reunion with Peggy, and then traveled back to his origin point to give Sam the shield.

Cory Stanish

Just an explanation of how Tony took the stones from Thanos. Remember Tony's suits are now nanotech including the glove. When Tony grabbed the glove, he just transferred the stones to his suit. Re-watch the clip and you'll see the stones getting positioned after Tony got them.

Baltazar Martinez Jr

The glove is all Tony's nanotech, the same nanotech as his suit. So it just responded to his commands and slide those stones right on over.

Connor Ellis

So there is a branch of MCU reality where Thor loses Mjolnir LONG before Big Sis shatters it. I know he isn't the God of Hammers, but still...... Natalie, it is always a little heart-breaking to watch your heart break. But the strength behind that golden heart is more than a match for the sadness. "Annoying planet ... that's fair!" (C8

—thoughtstorms—Keith—

Um. I think you got confused. The massive fight at the end was back five years in the future.

Connor Ellis

This is like the end of Phase One of the Nat Reaction Universe.

Boomcity

You gotta get that the version of time travel in Endgame is more like going between alternate realities than the kinds of time travel most movies present. You're not changing the future, you're creating alternate branches of reality when you go back, but you come back to your original branch when you return. This is why they very intentionally list a lot of movies with time travel and say "those are not the rules we're using". The Ancient One's explanation to Banner is a lot better IMO than Ant-Man's. It's been great re-watching the MCU with ya!

Erik Stevenson

Nebula killing herself is changing the present she's in. She didn't affect the past, it's not her past.

Connor Ellis

Hopefully someone explains the time travel stuff for you!

William Connery

Humans can't hold the "Power stone", the other stones don't make you explode.

Coojw

Oh, and "I love you 3000" is something Robert Downey's kids say to him. They added it in to the script because of that.

Joel Palenychka

Great job recognizing Ty Simpkins. Hardly anyone recognized who that was watching the first time. Was so fun to revisit all the MCU films with you. Happy Anniversary!

Matthew Shaver

Hahah. I can dig it sucka!

Stefan Johannsson

The only thing that doesn't make sense is Cap would grow old in the brand new time line he created, completely separate from the reality he came from. I assume after Peggy's death in the new reality cap decided at some point to come back to his original reality and stay in hiding until just after he left in the first place.

MrCAL

Wow - just so much fun and so worth the wait. I was sobbing right along with you and enjoyed all of the twists and turns - even if logic didn't make sense at times. I feel as though I have to "mourn" the loss of the Marvel Cinematic Universe "10 years" but, as you mentioned - more MARVEL content coming so .....I'm excited to see your future reactions. Um - pass the tissues, will ya?! ;D

This_Jedi_crafts

Great-niece not granddaughter. Also Cap traveled to an alternate timeline and stayed there to grow old with Peggy, he then traveled back to his original timeline. So he wouldn't have affected the original timeline because he went to an alternate one.

Kal-El_138

Also, I imagine the reason Tony was able to get the stones is because the gauntlet they were in at that point was the one he had created, so he can probably control it cybernetically (by thinking) like his own armor, so he just told it to let go of them.

darby72

Time travel in the comic book Marvel universe has always been that if you went back in time and changed things, it wouldn't change the present, it would just create a new divergent timeline. So when you went back to your present nothing would have changed for you, but somewhere in the timestream there would be a different reality that you would have created. The Cap thing is even simpler. I am 49 years old. If I went back in time 20 years, then hung out for 20 years until I was 69 (no joke intended), it wouldn't take away any of the things I did up until I was 49. He just went back in time and then lived the rest of his life, probably keeping himself hidden away with Peggy so that he wouldn't interfere with anything that was happening with his younger self.

darby72

this reaction was so relatable, the crying, the rollercoaster of emotions, the laughing. i've watched the movie like 5 times and I just can't help but to cry everytime at both tony's and nat's death. the heart and soul of the mcu.

Jenny bete

Probably the most anticlimactic reaction I've ever seen to the Portals scene hahaha I couldn't stop laughing, man I love Natalie so much xD

So...should we pencil in the full MCU re-watch for May 2022?

John Graziano

My favorite part of Natalie's reactions is her dancing.

pedantech

"You can rest now" does it to me every time. How much ice water did Dr. Strange have to have in his veins knowing Tony would have to die for everything to work out in the end.

Ben Wheeler

As long as Cap stayed to himself in the past, no one would know he was there, and it wouldn't mess up any of the timeline as we know it. Eventually, they'd find him in the ice. It just means there were two Caps in the world for a lot of those years, one getting older and staying in hiding, the other getting thawed out of the ice and moving forward doing the things we've seen in the movies. Going back wouldn't erase anything that had already happened unless he actively did something to change them. I'd love to see a series on Disney+ that focuses on what Cap did during those years back in the 1940's and 50's after he found a life with his love. He could have had many secret adventures as long as he stayed in the shadows, and didn't let anyone know he was there.

Robert Reichle

Black Widow will be a prequel of course. You will like Wanda Vision a lot as you love Wanda very much.

Ortiz Jorge

Your sobs were gut wrenching but you’re feeling exactly what I was when I left the theater. Even hours later after seeing it, I still randomly choked up because what a way to end a saga. Can’t wait for you to watch the mini series!

Cerra101

Happy anniversary! Thank you for your heartfelt reactions. Time travel is kind of confusing. Marvel's time travel is not linear but when ever you go back and you changes things you open new branches. Loki opened a new branch; that will be his show. Captain America after staying with Peggy did the same. He later came back to the main time line to explain what happened and give the Shield to Sam.

Ortiz Jorge

Best. Reaction. Ever.

Lucky Dragon ‘She.They’

Broken link?

Joe Entwistle

Remember YouTube recommending that Star Wars reaction a year ago, before I ever got into any reaction videos on YouTube but I’m thankful the algorithm did it’s work. It’s be a great year and this reaction really caped it all off. I’m just hoping the the discord mods or editor or someone is explaining time travel rules to her by this time. Also, now that we are through Endgame, I know trailer reactions aren’t your thing but it would be cool to get a quick reaction to the “MCU celebrates the movies/phase 4” trailer.

Brad Velky

Under the Skin is a brilliant film and Scarlet J does such a great job playing an extremely enigmatic and awkward character. I recommend watching that some time.

The shortest explanation I can give for the time travel (and I could go on for hours): Going back creates an alternate timeline that is the past + you showing up. The Grandfather Paradox is one of the big issues with time travel: what if you travel back and kill your grandfather before your father is conceived? If you kill him, you cease to exist, so you cant' kill him, so you do exist, etc. But the alternate timelines fixes that. You can go back and kill your grandfather or take an Infinity stone or Mjolnir or spend a lifetime with Peggy Carter, and doesn't change your past, just the other timeline. So it doesn't change anything Steve did here if he stays with Peggy because whatever he changes doesn't happen to *his* past. (Now I'm waiting for the Loki series to throw a wrench into the way that I understand time travel works in the MCU.)

Fun Facts! The guy at the therapy group is one of the directors. Any time reality is changed by a time traveller, that reality becomes an alternate timeline that plays out differently from the original reality. They stole the stones, used them to bring everyone back in their reality, then returned them at the point they were taken, so the stones were missing from their respective timelines for a few seconds at most (for more info see ''multiverse theory''). They only succeed in their mission once out of 14'000'605 possible realities, partly BECAUSE of the rat walking over the console on the van. All the stuff Steve has to do in his timeline has all already happened in his past. Him going to the 40's is his present, and him being there constitutes a change in that timeline so he's living out in an alternate ''branch'' reality outside of his own so he has no risk of meeting his younger self. Most people missed the point of Thor's character development in the film, so I bless the gods you didn't. Something to think about is the fact that everyone who was snapped is now the same age as they were five years ago. As you partly talked about, Vision was still dead because he wasn't snapped, he had the mind stone pulled out of his head just prior. You should also find an ''every call back in Endgame'' video. I can imagine there are a few. I personally would like to know how Steve returned the soul stone to Vormir without accidentally giving it to Red Skull, the guy who said the stone was forcing him to ''guide others to a treasure I cannot possess'' (possible return?)

Ehrys V.

Great reaction. There were no end credits/mid credit scenes.....but I hope you watched a couple minutes longer. There was a cool thing for the whole cast with their personal signatures. It was a nice touch. Hope you didn't miss it. Subtle, but kinda cool.

Stefan Johannsson

The key here is what The Ancient One said in Dr Strange, that all the times she tried, she couldn't see past her own death. The implication is that Dr. Strange *can* see past his own death with the timestone. Of all the millions of futures he checked, most of them probably involved him *not* giving Thanos the time stone and they still lost. Once he realized the only way for them to win was to be able to re-collect the stones later, his clue to the Ancient one that she needed to give up the stone was his act of giving the stone to Thanos, that's why it was "The only way". Otherwise past-version Ancient One would have never given Hulk the timestone and they would have lost. Makes for a interesting circle of cause & effect.

Steve J

oh darn it's already at "Too many users have viewed or...." The suspense, ahhhhhhh. hopefully tomorrow.

Nathan

Another little fan service moment I didn't see anyone else point out is when the portals start to open Sam says "On your left" to Cap. Which is a call back to when they first met in winter soldier.

Austin Sandel

when hulk explained it they purposely made it confusing/vague because the character is smart and being confused by things he said makes him seem smarter. its pretty simple. We understand time as going from point A to point B to point C. This time travel framework relies on the idea that once you go back to point A, point B is simultaneously in your past (because it already happened to you), but also in your future (relative to where you are). Your past cant be changed by your future, so the only way to reconcile the fact that both are true is that you are traveling to a separate timeline/parallel universe.

joe shmoe

I'm so excited for this and so happy we made it this far, it's been extremely fun watching someone who is new to this universe love and enjoy something I have been in love with for years! Thank you Nat, you have no idea how much this journey has meant to me. This movie unexpectedly helped me out in my life immensely. I, like a lot of other people, struggle at times with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and self hatred. The scene where Thor gets to see his mother breaks me every time. Her words really hit me, because I have always been extremely hard on myself for not being the person who I thought I was supposed to be instead of being just who I am. Then when Thor was able to call Mjolnir and said "I'm still worthy" I couldn't help but break down, because from my perspective, it told me that depression and low self esteem does not make you unworthy. Thor didn't need to get his body back to get his confidence back, he was worthy all along. He just needed a talk with mom. It's helped me to stop trying to be someone I'm not, to accept myself and to be better for myself. Because despite all the flaws I see in myself, I'm still worthy.

Shibby75

Sorry but that is just wrong. If Cap returned to his new Timeline to live with Peggy it also is in a new timeline and he cant meet his friends from his old timeline. This can just mean one thing, all we see after we see him sitting there his new timeline and not the old one he left. But none of that is explained in the Movie and so it can be misunderstood/confusing, like Nat mentioned. Short answer, time travel in this movie is poorly executed. Some things are ok and some are totally nonsense. Oh and btw as far as we know and widely accepted there is no way to travel back in time in the same timeline for several reasons, foremost the grandfather Paradoxfor example.

Curaitis

Lol you spend more time talking and asking questions instead of just watching the movie which would've answered a lot of your questions lololol

MJ

The time travel in Endgame is extremely poorly explained. In fact, it is almost not explained at all. We hear a lot about what it's NOT like i.e. not like any popular movie about time travel. And when you understand the temporal mechanics of Endgame, it all becomes very unsatisfying. Basically, there is an uncountable number of universes created where Thanos won. The universe in which the events of the movie takes place is a grain of sand on the world's biggest beach. Thanos wins in billions and billions of alternate universes. And old Cap's return from HIS alternate universe makes absolutely no sense.

Opti_Frog

Simply put: Changing the past does not change the future. It changes an alternate timeline.

Daniel Pierce

There’s been a number of big franchises lately that have lead up to heavily hyped conclusions only for fans to be disappointed when it finally came. Fortunately, Marvel managed to avoid that outcome. This is fan service as it should be done. It kind of reminds me of the finale of Star Trek TNG, a look back at where we’ve been, contrasted with how far we’ve come and all wrapped up with a bow. Not to say it’s perfect; for me Carol Danvers proves to be the biggest non-factor in the entire thing. The one part it seemed she done could do was rescuing Tony. Besides that, she was the muscle in a plan that failed even before it got started, and in the final battle, I get the sense that you could remove her and it would turn out more or less the same. Your comments on Natasha brought to mind a question that’s asked on Babylon 5 at one point, “Are you willing to die friendless, alone, abandoned by all?” I think Nat showed here she is. She dies in the dark where no one will know. Yes, Clint does and the rest of the team will as well, but the world at large probably doesn’t, and they might not even believe it if they do hear about it. Might seem stupid, but never underestimate how arbitrary people’s skepticism can be.

Texas Anla'Shok

From the second I saw that Tony had the stones until the end I was a quivering mess the first time I watched this. Had to get my wife to drive me home from the cinema.

Easiest way to think about it: time travel is going to alternative realities at different points in time. And when you travel, you don't *become* your original self, you exist alongside them. So at the end when Cap goes back, everything else carries on as it did. He's essentially someone completely different. Same with Nebula - the younger and older are essentially two different people (though their hardware is on the same network) so killing the younger doesn't affect the older. Cap wasn't returning the stones at the end because it would affect *their* reality - he was doing it because the alternative realities would've carried on and been affected by their absence. Solidarity across the multiverse!

Martin Heron

I really like Dr. Strange in this movie. Everyone is always asking why the Sorcerers didn't help with one thing or another in the timeline but I have a theory. Dr. Strange looked at millions of different ways the fight with Thanos could play out, the only thing he could really change was what he did each time. But in the one scenario where they won he barely did anything. He spent most of the fight holding back the water. In his movie the Ancient One told him he needed to let go and realize everything wasn't about him and here he sat back and let the other heroes save the day. If the Ancient One spent thousands of years with the time stone protecting Earth I bet when she looked forwards in time when a crisis was happening, she first looked at what happened if she didn't do anything and if the World was OK she just sat back and let things play out. Like, the Avengers defeated Loki on their own, they didn't need her help, so she just sat on her balcony the whole time.

Josh The Bard

Commenting before watching the reaction, i'm predicting tears in the first 90 seconds :D

Pascal Bouchard

I feel like a lot of people aren't still getting the whole time travel thing. The conversation between Hulk and the Ancient One should have explained it all. Everything that happened all happened on one timeline. They went back, "borrowed" the stones and then Cap brought them all back to the moment that they were taken in time. There really is not need for alternate timelines or the multiverse for this explanation. As far as Cap going back and living out his days at an earlier time, that was his future. Just because he did that, he didn't change his past because the Cap that did that was decades older then the cap that was frozen in ice at the time.

With the possible exception of the movie Primer, no time travel movies make sense if you try and subject them to any kind of scrutiny. You just have to suspend your disbelief.

Chris Cooper

you can just click play the browser on the top of this page. that works every time for me.

Thomas Malley

I like to pretend the extra Ant-Man was Hank or Bill popping in to help.

Josh The Bard

i'm not sure why you're confused about the time travel. when Cap went back in time, all the things that "needed to happen" with the Avengers still happened. There were two caps in that timeline, just like when they went back to 2012 and there were two of each avenger.

Sebastian Syrinx

I was wondering the same thing, but the thing is that the glove in the last battle was the one HE made. Makes so much sense! Thank you for explaining that!

Thomas Malley

Well to explain the whole time travel rule thing in this movie’s version of time travel, every time they change the past to get the stones they create new alternate timelines that they can then access through the use of the Pym Particles and the wrist time GPS. This explain why Loki is technically still alive following this movie’s events, him disappearing with the Tesseract in 2012 is proof of this, him doing that has created a new timelines where Loki is still alive, and will most likely be where his new show picks up from. When I say it all like that though, it kinda makes the losses of the movie meaningless, because surely through this type of time travel in which they can just willy nilly jump back and forth between alternate realities, they could just find Natasha and Tony and just bring them to this new post Endgame world alive and well. Oh well, this is still an excellent, fun, and emotional ending to the Infinity Saga.

Jack Mellor

Nat, you really do have a heart of gold. Getting invested in characters that deeply can be a blessing or a curse, either way, it shows what a wonderful human being you are. Now, go find some comedies to react to and take it easy for a while.

Super Dave

"How did Tony get the stones? did they switch gloves?" Tony's suit was able to 'grab' the stones off the glove. It was all Tony's tech so the big glove is kind of at the command of however he controls the rest of the suit and just has it release the stones to Tony's hand. "How can he touch the stone? I thought Humans/mortals couldn't hold the stones" I think that's just generally the Power Stone (purple one) that Ronin was using in GotG and why it was even hurting Thanos when he took it out of the glove to punch Capt. Marvel. The other stones, while clearly dangerous, aren't instantly fatal to touch for the most part. The time travel stuff will always have to be hand-waved no matter what the movie or the 'rules'. Endgame does a pretty good job of explaining their own rules and trying to stick to them. Essentially the events of every persons life is still happening in a linear fashion. It's kind of like watching the movie itself, The events of the movie play out in order one after another no matter what timeline they're in. That's why Hulk says changing the past can't change your future because from your perspective that future has already happened and is now your past (which is unchangeable). Again, a bit of handwaving involved because it's never going to actually make sense.

Steve J

I've never heard a full cinema more silent than during the funeral scene. Great reaction...now imagine watching these movies over 10 years!

Luke

I actually had to take my headphones out and hold them away from my ears during the battle.

Texas Anla'Shok

If you click the video image above the post, instead of the drive link, it will play directly on youtube for you. That one always works for me.

John

Loved the reaction! I'm sure you got it in the edit; when it comes to time travel the rules are pretty much established within the film. The Ancient One and the Hulk explained that going back in time is more like creating a parallel universe; you can't change the future by going to the past. So Captain America lives a life with Peggy in a parallel universe. As for how Tony grabbed the stones so quickly its because the gauntlet is nanotech; so he's the only one who could transfer the stones, which is why Strange pointed to him. A lot of people complain about Natasha not getting a separate funeral but I'd argue her legacy will be more properly explored in her own Movie. I do hope you get to WandaVision soon after Spider Man but you do you! This is the Endgame after all and I've enjoyed every reaction.

George Baxter

Essentially Future Cap existed alongside Past Cap. He was just likely hidden away by Peggy so it didn't affect the timeline. It's likely why we saw pictures of her kids and grandkids in other movies but never saw any pictures of her husband. Because it was him all along. Though that does make kissing her granddaughter a bit weirder.

Jomero

Oh I finally managed to get it. I thought I was done crying over Tony and Nat and then came your reaction and I sobbed with you. I haven’t seen another reactor have such a strong reacting. I’ll advise you though to watch WandaVision and Flacon and Winter Soldier as soon as you can after the Endgame because is connected and emotions are connected. It might lose on some of the impact when you lose speed with Marvel.

Vili

Do you mind my asking but why do people download the videos? You can just hit play and watch it without downloading. Am I missing something? You can even watch it full-screen so it's not like you'd have to watch it in the small window. It is just an internet speed thing? Why do people download the videos?

acidnova

The whole scene with his mother was fantastic. "Everyone fails at who they're supposed to be. The measure of a man is how well he succeeds as being who he is." has stuck with me ever since I first heard it. Now, if only I could figure out who I'm supposed to be.

Josh The Bard

“People assume that time is a strict progression from cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff.” - The Doctor

acidnova

In terms of how he got the stones from the gauntlet, Tony's suit and the gauntlet are made from nanotech. They can rearrange themselves, and that was how they pulled the stones from the glove to Tony's suit

Sebastian Syrinx

Also, I want to give a kudos to Nat for recognizing the kid from Iron Man 3. There were a whole lot of people afterwards trying to figure out who he was and I think it might have been one of the most googled things after the movie came out (I may be wrong about that). But it was definitely a question a lot of people were asking and Nat figured it out without having to look it up!

acidnova

In the end credits you hear the Sounds when tony build his first iron man Suit in the cave :(

Colt 1983

Totally relate. I lost my dad 6 years ago and the scene with Pepper telling Tony he can rest now was so similar to watching my mom tell my dad that it was ok for him to go. Gets me every time.

acidnova

I do think after you watching the next Spider-Man movie that you should consider the X-Men movies as a little break before heading into the next MCU phase. Lots of fun stuff and technically part of the Marvel Universe but from a different studio.

acidnova

Natalie, you should look up the scene where the Avengers pay tribute to Tony, right after his death. It definitely should not have been cut from the movie.

We come to it at last, the great battle for our time.

YodatheHobbit

I've been waiting anxiously for months for this reaction, and it didn't disappoint! This is one of the movies that I can rewatch many times, and it doesn't get old... and it was great to see the powerful scenes still hit just the same - like people gasping the theater when Captain America is shown with the hammer, and when everyone cheered when the portals open up and everyone comes together. Just awesome!

Chief

It's been great going on this journey with you, I've been eagerly awaiting this upload. To clarify on the time travel stuff: it's best to think of it as travelling to different dimensions more than different points in a single timeline. Nothing they do in the "past" will affect their reality now. That's why they never went back to just try to stop the events of Infinity War from happening: instead they went to get the stones so they could un-snap everyone. The only reason time travel was involved was because the stones were destroyed by Thanos, so they needed to travel to a time when they still existed. So Steve going back in time doesn't mean the other stuff he did never happened. Nebula killing the other version of herself doesn't kill her too. The 5 years between Infinity War and Endgame still happened. They didn't change the past, they just visited the past in order to acquire a set of infinity stones. And if they had died while visiting the "past", it wouldn't mean they retroactively died at that point in time. I'm sure there are still holes in it (e.g. how does Cap end up back at that point if they're travelling to alternate dimensions rather than the past of the same timeline), but it's time travel in fiction, I'm pretty sure there will always be issues. They also only brought back everyone Thanos snapped away, meaning those who died before that (Gamorra, Loki, Heimdall, Vision) are still dead. The Gamorra in this movie was brought forward from 2014 (though again, that doesn't change anything that happened with -this- Gamorra), and likewise, the Loki we see here is a different version of him (who hasn't been through the events of Dark World or Ragnarok).

Kieron Hayes

Just finished watching your reaction. First of all Natalie, I really wish I could reach through the internet and give you a hug. This reaction came at an awful time for you personally and I just feel like you could use a hug. Tell you what, go find your fiance and tell him that one of your Patrons said he has to give you a hug. Maybe that will help. I love that you caught the double Ant-man goof in the final fight. I didn't catch that until way later when someone else pointed it out. As far as the time travel goes, they didn't travel back in time to their own reality. They instead travelled to other points in time in alternate realities. That's why it was so imperative that the return the stones to the exact point in which they were taken and is also why the Ancient One was so concerned about dooming her own reality by giving up the stone. When Cap went to put the stones back, he did just that. But then he decided to stay in the past to be with Peggy rather than come back to his usual timeline. I enjoyed your reaction so much though. One thing you should really do is check out some of the live premier night audience reactions on YouTube. This movie was INSANE on premier night and might be my favorite cinema-going experience of all time. You'll see why in those reactions on YouTube.

Matt

Stop thinking about it as Back to the Future - that isnt how this time travel works. You cannot affect the past - only the future. And when you travel to the past, that is a parallel timeline. So, no Pepper wasnt pregnant in the final battle, the "First" Avengers werent affected because it had already happened, they fought the final battle in the "Present" (the 5 years later).

Really happy to be here for you finishing this. Think all the thing about time the easiest way is just to think of as linear, cap goes back and retires in the past, things in the past don’t have an impact on the future as they have already happened. For true head scratching time travel check out Primer, still trying to figure it out😜.

Ben Burnhill

Finally made it to the End xD I think we should mention more on how dedicated Karen Gillian was to her role as Nebula!

FatLittleButterfly

It also shows Gamora alive after the battle leaving the group which sets up Guardians 3. It's 1 minute and sets up an important story-point. I think they also should've had an end-credits scene with 2012-Loki that escaped with the tesseract in an alternate timeline. They did a superb job finishing up some of the storylines in this movie but missed setting up future ones properly.

Jonas Doksaeter

Tony: *clap* *clap* *clapclapclap* *clapclapclapclap* CHOW TIME! Nat: Did he get a dog? Me: *dies immediately*

John Graziano

Addendum after watching the reaction: "Please tell me he doesn't die, he's going to have a daughter!" might be the most hilariously frustrating misunderstanding of how time travel worked in this movie. Which is fair, of course, no time travel movie will ever make sense under serious scrutiny, which is why Banner handwaves it away earlier by telling you what it's not. However, what you might have missed is that the person who explained it (with a visual and all) was the Ancient One. It's multiverse theory; if you view time as a straight line, and you go back on that line to change a particular point, you are not changing your line, but creating a completely separate and alternate one. I think that's why they mostly refer to the plot as a "time heist" rather than straight "time travel." The aim of it was never to change the past, but just to bring the stones that existed in the past to the present to use, then send them right back. If that helps, now this just looks like drooling words on a bar napkin. Now, to be extra petty, for someone so vocally against the BIG TIME AND PLACE title cards in the last few movies... yeah, kind of necessary in this one, eh?

Ted Cali

The funeral scene is very hard, I agree. I lost my mother when I was 26 and the scenes with Quill losing his mother and Thor seeing his mother again always hit me extra hard. But it also brings the good memories to mind, and in that way it's good. I'm super looking forward to your reaction to Wandavision and the extended buddy show that The Falcon and Winter Soldier becomes. And I'm definitely looking forward to Loki. That looks so fun.

Joel Palenychka

"Oh no, they became gamers!!" 🤣🤣🤣

Wow what a journey we have been on with you Nat countless unforgettable moments plenty of laughs and tears and the best was kept to last the three hours flew by, thankyou for the fun ride nattie you're the best💛

You will really enjoy Wandavision It is one of the best things that Marvel has ever produced and has cemented Wanda as a leading Marvel hero Excellent review 🙂🙂🙂

James Willingham III

Okay so 1) congrats on your 1 year anniversary! 2) I'm sorry you had to watch this after a funeral. This is a heavy movie without grief on top of it and 3) To help clear up the time travel stuff: when a person travels in time, they're going to an alternate timeline/universe. That's how one Nebula can die and one can live. And when Cap went to be with Peggy, he lived with her in an alternate timeline, nothing changed in the main timeline. Also! Tony was able to get the stones from Thanos cause the new gauntlet and his suit were made from the same nanomachines

Michael Robbins Art

Just finished watching the reaction, it was great reliving all these moments. I gotta say though, I think I cried harder when watching Cap's dance than I did watching Tony's death for some reason, I just cried like a damn baby, I was so happy for him 😭

Jorge

Nat, there is one deleted scene in this film that I think you need to see; one that I really wish they would have kept IN the theatrical cut of this film. It is so short, but so incredibly impactful. Right after Tony Stark dies, before they close the scene and fade out to his pre-recorded monologue, every hero on the battlefield takes a knee to honour him. I honestly have no idea why they cut it out of the film.

Mike Battams

I got a lot of classic Nat screams to add to my collection from this great reaction. There were so many small payoffs in this movie. You caught many, many of them. One little one was Hope calling Captain America "Cap" and Scott gives her a look, because her and Scott had a conversation about that in Ant Man and the Wasp. The biggest one for me is the wrap up to the Captain America storyline. Haley Atwell appears, even if it is just a photo, in every Captain America movie and every Avengers movie except for Infinity War, I think. They constantly reminded you about that storyline, and gave it a great finish.

Mike LL

When it comes to understanding the logic of time travel in movies, the best advice is from Basil Exposition in Austin Powers 2: “I suggest you don’t worry about this sort of thing and just enjoy yourself. [Looks into the camera.] That goes for you all, too.” Also, you’re the only person I know that immediately recognized the kid from Iron Man 3. I and everyone else I know was looking it up afterward.

Wex

the Black Widow movie is set between the events of Civil War and Infinity War. So she's still dead the movie is a prequel.

Dani

Testimonial here. I had to work three 12 hour shifts this weekend. I was so tired Sunday night. But knowing that I had today off on Marvel Monday watching Endgame with Natalie was what got me through the night. Thanks

It Hurt A Lot

Good catch with the kid from Iron Man 3 at the funeral! So, the time travel rules in this movie are way different than any other time travel movie. So, anything they did in the past WILL NOT affect the present. It creates a different timeline. So, they "clipped all the branches" except for one, which is when Loki stole the space stone/Tesseract. Also, the reason they didn't give Natasha a funeral scene is because there's a Black Widow movie coming up whereas Tony's journey in the MCU is over.

Ilsuk Yang

Omg that was amazing!! I can’t wait for you to start WandaVision

Alex B

Yeah a good chill comedy 😁

Calo Grsf

the time travel: when they go back in time and interact with something, instead of it changing our characters' timeline and narrative, it creates a new timeline where those events played out. basically creating an alternative reality that coexists with ours, but just has the effects of what said time travelers did

No. More about the alternate realities of the Marvel Universe will be explored in Doctor Strange The Multiverse of Madness. But Cap did go back and live an alternate universe life. He didn't live as two Steve Rogers and he didn't affect Peggy's marriage to her husband. At least he didn't affect one Peggy's life with her husband, but he did marry another Peggy. It is hard to wrap your head around it It has always been explained in the Marvel Comics that when you traveled in time, you always went to another reality. They didn't exactly explain that the same way here, but it was the same principle.

Mike LL

Nattie G I am still buzzing after watching this movie along with you. So thrilled for you and proud of you to have reached the One Year milestone of your amazing reactions. The past few weeks have seen you watch some really emotional material, and for you personally, it has hit hard. But you carried on, faced it and moved us all to tears. EndGame was the perfect movie to have as your anniversary piece. Probably your finest hour, and why you have left your fellow reactors in your wake. Incredibly exciting, funny and very moving. But Nat, you're cried out, I'm cried out, so can we please make the next poll a comedy one 😊 Thanks for today's video Nat. You are the best 💛

Darryl Low

The journey is not completed, you still have Spider-Man Far from home to do.

RebRox65

Everything that Cap did still happened. When he went back in time the other Cap was still in the ice, and still defrosted and did all of the stuff, while this Steve lived out the rest of his life. Changing the past does not change the future.

cartoonrobot

Nat: I'll probably have to make a pause to go to the bathroom or to talk about the plot. Future Nat: No, I don't think I will

Great reaction - the part you sort of missed with Hulk and The Ancient One did the best job of explaining the time travel stuff honestly, the part you didn't 'get' with Banner explaining it was more of a joke bit and, while true, it also wasn't meant to REALLY be followable. It's easiest to think of it like Back to the future 2 in some ways: every time they changed stuff, it split a new reality off, the difference between BTTF and this is that they keep going 'back' to their main timeline, rather than going forward into the alternate ones they created. Then at the end, Steve went and returned the items at the same time they took them, closing the loop (which is a LITTLE weird/shouldn't work quite that way by their rules, but it's how they explain it and it's close enough) which is why he was able to live out his life in the 40s and still be there at the end. He didn't 'undo' anything he had previously done: there were just two steves living that entire time, one in the ice/becoming an avenger, and one just secretly married to Peggy, presumably under a pseudonym or something. Similarly when you kept asking if quill would remember garmorra etc: just remember, EVERYONE except for Thanos and his group, are the same people we've been watching the entire time, they all got unsnapped at the same state they were snapped away in, it's just been 5 years without them (which is an important point for the movies/shows since endgame, since the logistics of that are complicated as you might imagine).

so time is not working like that. u dont change your present time if u change the future. u can imagine it to your self like it would be another universe in which there where in a different timeline, they took the stone repaired their "universe" and then cap went back in time putet all the stones and the hammer to the same place they took them "they were it abble because hank pimm was back and was able to make more of this particles" and when he finished he went back to the time with paggy married her lifed his life and came back in his universe "and because time works different for hulk sam and bucky it was like seconds. i hope i explained it good enough. loved this reaction and hope you will also watch the series too <3

Sebastian Serafin

This reaction 😮! Nat you are the best, and happy birthday 🥳! So much emotion during the movie, at the end you finished me off 😔, but don't forget, the golden nuggets love and cuddle you 3000 💛😌 And I found funny how you remembered some details or events and your confusion about time travel 😆, I reassure you, at the time I was like you haha I hope you're fine, take care, be safe and stay golden as you are! 💛

Loved this reaction. This movie hurts every time i watch it. It's a shame you never got to experience this in theaters when it came out. I've never heard a bigger explosion of clapping and cheering from an audience as i did during the "Avengers Assemble" scene. As for the time travel, it was explained but it's still messy. Basically Cap was defrosted in around 2012, he lived and participated in all the events through endgame as Captain America. After endgame he went back to be with Peggy. Him going back doesn't change what he had already done since being defrosted (he doesn't inhabit his old body, that was still on ice). He just gets to live through it again but this time as a bystander like the rest of the world. And if you want to take it a step further, because of him going back, once he was defrosted, there were 2 Steve Rogers alive at the same time.

The time travel that was confusing you, they didnt technically tavel back in their time they traveled to alternate universes, so thats why it didnt affect their reality, thats why they couldnt stop thanos is the past cause it wouldnt fix their future, they needed to borrow the stones to use them in their own universe and return them back to the exact time the took them so it didnt damage the other universes,

RIP to my boy Thanos, enjoyed the reaction.

And if you look closer at the pallbearer on the back-left holding Peggy’s casket in Civil War, Endgame Cap didn’t stay hidden all the time. 😎

I’m super bummed that you didn’t watch the end credits!

Foggy

I’m so glad you got everything you wanted out of this movie! I was a little bummed you didn’t show your reaction to the special part of the credits where the original Avengers cast had their signatures along with their printed names, nor the very end of the credits where you can hear the sound of a hammer hitting a forge, harkening back to Tony creating his first Iron Man suit in the cave. Looking forward to more as always!

bytefyre

Nat, I really recommend you to see the end credits (not end credit scene, just the end credits) if you haven't. No need to react to them, just watch them. It's a pretty cool hommage to all the actors.

So, shortly after Infinity War came out, I jokingly predicted a gut-wrenching scene about Hawkeye and his family. And then a year later Endgame came out, and we started out with Hawkeye helping his daughter and split second in, I went "Oh, no... no, no, no, I'm sorry, I didn' t really want this... I take it back!..." But yeah. I look forward to watching along once the quota limit is no longer exceeded!

The explanation to all your time travel questions: Multi-verse. Every time you go back to the past, you are essentially creating a whole new future. In this version you really can't go back and change the past.... you can go back and create a whole new future. But the old one continues to exist somewhere out there. You are just being a tourist and making another version of reality for yourself and everyone you bring with. Cap went back in time, and got to see the world embrace Captain America (his past self) while he was living a life with Peggy as a private citizen. I guess he would have to have been the homeboy, and not go with Peggy to work, as that might be confusing when there were two caps in the same timeline. But maybe I don't understand it either.

Just finished watching with you! No matter how many times i've watched this movie I still cry at the exact same parts. Can't wait for you to watch Spiderman: Far From Home next! I think people have mentioned this in previous videos, but when you get to watching WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier you should watch them in groups. Wandavision Ep 1-3, 4-6, 7-8 (they are shorter episodes, especially in the beginning). Falcon and the Winter Soldier Ep 1-2, 3-4, 5-6!

Uh oh. About to get smacked right in the feels.

Geoffrey Cahoon

Happy Anniversary Nat! Cant believe it is a Year ago since i found you on YT, you had around 600(?) Subs. Enjoyed every Minute with you. Wanna say thank you and on to the next Years.

Curaitis

"New Asgard" is a beautiful place. It's about an hour from where I grew up. Visited it last time I was home. 💛

Chris Mick

Can’t watch it right now. Can’t even download it and was so excited to see it. Hope it’ll be available for me soon. It’s just unfortunate that I’m not sure when I’ll have the spare time again to see it.

Vili

I always figured that rocket was on earth and could find his ship and then sent carol to get it.

Kevin Morris

Im starting to think Nat has a chip in her head that makes her talk over anything characters say of any importance to the story.

cartoonrobot

I’ve been waiting for this!!! Know what I’m doing when I get home after work! Yay!

lol, why am I not surprise that we've reached our download limit. We've all been ready for this one!

Aaron Kirk

People have a hard time conceiving time travel because we perceive time linearly. Think of it as a highway.. If you need to change lanes you have to slow down. You are still moving forward but further behind a different lane.

Cripkie

Leeeetttsss Goooo!! I can't wait to see this, sadly have to wait until Wednesday but boy I can't WAIT!!! The drinks and snacks will definitely be ready!!!

VidKris

I am SO EXCITED FOR THIS!

Yani Dodge

Happy Marvel Monday & Happy Anniversary! 😊 Tony and Nebula's friendship is something that I didn't know that I needed until this movie. I wish that we had gotten a couple more scenes with them. Fun Fact: the "I love you 3,000" came from one of RDJ's kids. It was so sweet that it was apart of what Morgan and Tony say to each other. Skinny Tony from the very beginning was all done with CGI. I knew that you were going to love seeing Loki again. 😊 Natasha and Tony's deaths really took me by surprise when I first saw this in the theater. Fun Fact about a sad scene: when filming Tony's death, the only ones on the soundstage were RDJ, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, and Tom Holland. And Tom had improvised Peter's final moment with Tony. Even though it was for a sad moment, I love that they were able to get Ty Simpkins(Harley from "Iron Man 3") back for the end. There's so much I still want to mention, but this post would be super long if I kept going. 😂 Up Next: the end of Phase 3 "Spider-Man: Far From Home". Have a great day today! 😊 Until the next video, Stay Golden! 💛

Randee Carreno

Tissues ready. Check.

Valar Dohaeris

Yup, me too. But still glad she managed to avoid spoilers for 2 years!

Foggy

I'm absolutely AMAZED that she avoided 90% of the spoilers for this movie, but I'm still a little disappointed that she knew about fat Thor. That's the biggest comedic surprise in this movie.

Jon Hoover

Can’t even get it to download 😭

Kiarya

Now you get to watch Wandavision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier!!

William Connery

oof. Google drive, please let me download

DaMarkiM

its not MCU but i feel after the second spider man movie she should also watch Spiderverse

DaMarkiM

Shit just got real

MotoDork

Looking forward to it! Then another Spiderman movie... Then WandaVision on Mondays?

Joe Blankenship

Congrats Nat! Happy anniversary! Love to see how the next year unfolds. Congrats on mostly finishing up on the MCU movies! What a journey.

Tranquil_Gnome

Well I have my after-work plans now. It's all been building to this. Excited for the reaction

Blkm44

I was blown away walking out of the cinema. I had high hopes and man did they deliver! It is astonishing how they managed to end the story as good as they did, and at the same time paying tribute to a lot of the earlier movies. :)

Tomas

I can't wait!!! Watching this tonight after work!

Lisa Tosti

Whatever it takes

Ben Gilshenan

I’m going to watch this when I get home from work which is almost 18 hours away and I can’t wait

Ben Gilshenan

Thor realizing he’s still worthy has to be my favorite part in all the Marvel movies.

Gabriel Mauller

Whatever it takes! Congrats on completing this amazing masterpiece which is what franchises are supposed to be. Your reactions have truly been amazing and it gives me the same joy when I see a friend who didn't know about mcu made to see this and then feels as we all do come endgame.

Can't wait to watch later today after work! I'm already getting flashbacks of when i watched this two years ago... and all the audience reactions that made everything so much better! Glad you made it all the way!

Aka: “Ready to be unbelievably depressed but then also let your inner-11-year-old roar at the top of their lungs? No? Well, too bad, we own everything now!”

Ted Cali

Yes, here we GO!

Adam Barry

I was legitimately worried about you avoiding spoilers before you got here

Cliff Boyce

I cannot wait! But I have to, still a half hour from home! Honestly, it was 11 years of build up to this, and seeing it on the big screen opening day, with all the mad theories of what they were going to do, the sheer audacity of what they tried to achieve, and the fact they pulled it off in such a perfect way, made it one of my most memorable cinematic experiences I’ve had and probably ever will. The portals scene alone, along with Alan Silvestri’s amazing score during that whole build up, made me weep tears of joy! Ultimately I think Infinity War is the better written and better made movie, but this is my absolute favourite because of how it makes me feel, if that makes sense.

Andy Crawley

Let's go!!!!!

Diogo Martins

Am I the only one that thought this title was going to be her yelling at us? "Why didn't you tell me?!?! Y'all should have told me!"

Jon Hoover

Love reading all these comments - so great to see everyone so excited. Nice lil' community you've built here Nat!

Andrew Trail

Heeeey, we did it! Congrats!
