RE: Avengers Endgame - Time Travel Explained
I thought that Marvel established, as you say, that you can't change the past. But didn't Captain America do exactly that by altering his own timeline and showing back up as an old man at the end of the movie? The implication was that he went back and lived his life as if he had never been frozen. Is Marvel breaking their own rules here or am I missing something? It seems like he should not have shown back up in the same timeline if Marvel were following their own rules.

Cap traveled back to the year 1940, probably after he was frozen in the ice, and get from there on old. This means that there were 2 Captain Americas in the timeline. Then, when he got old, he traveled from the timeline where he got old to the main timeline to then hand over the shield. That's what I wanted to explain in the last part of this series. I've already finished it as raw and i will work it out a bit, altogether it will be with this 4 articles about the time travel case.
Ok, I guess that could have happened :). The movie made it look like he had aged normally and just wandered back when he got old since he didn't show back up via the "time machine".
Also there's the fact that they seemed to have discovered how to be immortal. When they were first experimenting with Ant Man he came back aged differently several times. Seems like you could just pop in when you were getting old, take off 20-40 years or whatever you felt like and come back again. But hey, this is comics and there's always a good excuse why you can't do something anymore. :)
Yeah, you're right, it really looks like they've discovered immortality. Crazy, I hadn't noticed that :)))
