So PresentCap goes back to the past (time is unspecified - did he go to the 70s where he returns the Tesseract or did he go back to the 40s?). In that timeline he is still on ice. He and Peggy marry (do they have kids?) and they live a long happy life together until Peggy develops Altzheimer's and eventually dies. Nothing about her death was going to change. Does he stay relatively hidden/out of the public eye the entire time? That would ruin the legend of Captain America, and be pretty weird when he gets found in 2012. Let's presume the timeline has stayed intact.
Once the timeline reaches the Battle of NY in 2012, everything goes to hell. Loki escapes with the Tesseract therefore he's not in Asguard prison (unless by some miracle he is captured) when the Dark Elves show up. He's not there to give Kurse the directions out of the dungeon, so does Freya not die? Does Loki go to 2012Thanos and hand over the Tesseract? Does Loki just lay low?
The Strike Team now believes Cap is Hydra. 2012Cap now knows Bucky is alive. That messes with a lot in the 2 years between Avengers (2012) and Winter Soldier (2014) .
And then 2014Thanos and crew get yanked out of their timeline completely. That changes the events of Guardians, because it never ends up happening at all.
Ugh. I know that this is knit-picking to the nth degree. I really did enjoy the movie, but when you bring in time travel, it just gets messy.
Here is what I thought
They went back in time in their reality, but taking the stones would cause an alternate reality/timestream/universe to be created - as the Ancient one explained to Banner. Banner then said that if they took the stones, used them to bring the snapped people back, and then returned the stones to the exact moment they were taken, then they would avoid messing with things/creating alrernate timelines.
BUT even if Cap was able to return the stones perfectly, they seriously still messed up a lot.
NY 2012: Loki escaped with the Tesseract, the whole Strike Team thinks Cap is Hydra, PresentCap tells 2012Cap that Bucky is alive.
Morag 2014: knocking out Quill - what if he didn't wake up in time to get the stone before Ronan's guys showed up? Not that it really matters because freaking Thanos shows up and blows that entire timeline to hell. Nothing can fix that.
Asguard: I just think it's funny picturing Cap trying to sneak around trying to re-inject the Ether into Jane, and return the hammer.
Vormir: how exactly did he return the Soul stone? And how surprised was he when he saw Red Skull?
Even if Cap was able to return the stones perfectly, he still did one thing to completely mess with the timestream: He stayed in the past and married Peggy.
^^ That right there tells you all you need to know about the humor in this movie.
There were some genuinely funny moments, but most jokes you could see coming from a mile away. The ''humor'' in this movie was so forced and dumbed down.
