*SPOLIERS* The one thing I dont get...
Ok, so I have a question about Captain America returning back to and living through his life again in the past.
This may have been explained and I just missed it, or its possible I'm too stupid to understand. I'll do my best trying to explain it briefly..
So when the Avengers travel into the past, they encounter their old selves and apparently are co-existing in the past.
At the end, Cap travels back in time permanently, and I assume his past self is still there.
So how did he pull this off? Did he off his former self? Did he allow his old self to go about the events from the beginning of his first movie, ending with him being trapped in the ice and then take over after that?
I would have to assume that past Captain America's timeline was never altered. So wouldnt they eventually find THAT Captain America in the ice again, and restart the entire cycle, and wouldnt that mean there are still 2 of the same Cap in the present, one old and one young?
Was he living in the past in an alternate timeline? And even so, wouldnt the original Steve Rogers still exist in any timeline?
Help me. This is blowing my mind!
