MCU: Endgame and Multiverse Theory

[Selene Spires]

So I had a thought.
We know that without the Infinity Stones reality will splinter. Which in the main timeline has happened.

So the fact is I think Endgame just focused on that one timeline where the Avengers succeeded which is why the rat happened to activate the quantum gate. The movie just focused on the one alternate timeline where the Avengers win.

Going forward without the stones I think will end up creating the Multiverse of Maddness in Doc Strange...and maybe this storyline will end up in big storyline from a few years ago where all those alternate timeline converge (I am forgetting what that was called)

Secret Wars, not to be confused with DC's nearly identical Convergence. Both focused on worlds colliding to create a space where characters from different timelines met and fought before the Universe was pieced back together.

The comic version worked (marginally) because it focused mainly on the mainline Marvel earth colliding with the Ultimate Marvel Earth and allowed the two published lines that fans were already invested in to cross over and for Miles Morales to survive into the normal 616 Earth.

I think without taking the time to introduce us to an alternate timeline and allowing us to become fully invested in them - it would just end up being Marvel's Cinematic "Zero Hour."

They'd never be able to pull it off, but a cinematic version of Hickman's Incursion storyline leading up to Secret Wars would be awesome.

Yeah I'd love to see elements of that and maybe a 616 version of the Ultimates in the comics.

Well the next Spider-Man movie is reportingly going bring alternate versions of characters and is going to explore this.

Though they do play things close to the chest. And not above lieing...

So as I said it is just a thought I had.
