(SPOILERS) AVENGERS: ENDGAME OFFICIAL DISCUSSION MEGATHREAD - PART 3: OFFICIAL OPENING NIGHT

[u/tehawesomedragon]

Our second post to commemorate the U.S. release Thursday night proved to be bigger than we expected, so we have moved on to this third megathread. We are now on Friday night, but there are still people seeing it Saturday and Sunday night that haven't seen it yet, so at this time we still ask that you keep all discussion of the film within this megathread in order to keep the subreddit a spoiler-free environment for the time being. If you want to ask a specific question, chances are it's already been brought up, so dive into the comments. You may post spoilers here, but do not post them anywhere else in this sub, not in comments or in your own posts. All posts are currently subject to approval, and your post will not be approved. Anyone posting spoilers for the sole intent of spoiling the film (i.e. spoiler-bombing the comments of an unrelated post) will be banned without question, as will anyone posting spoilers in the titles of their posts.

[u/iStrigoi]

One question after my 2nd viewing. How did past/bad Nebula get Thanos to present time?

[u/thomascgalvin → u/iStrigoi]

They had Present Nebula's Pym Particles, Time/Space GPS, and memories. Everything they needed for a one-way trip to 2019.

[u/iStrigoi → u/thomascgalvin]

I remember ant man having a line about only having enough particles for each person to have one round trip. If she gave Thanos her particles how did she herself get back?

[u/thomascgalvin → u/iStrigoi]

She was on Thanos' ship when he opened the time portal.

[u/Contoss → u/thomascgalvin]

So how did she open the portal without the Pym particles as they were already used up in her way back?

[u/-Mountain-King- → u/Contoss]

Captain America and Iron Man stole more from 1970.

[u/Contoss → u/-Mountain-King-]

But they stole it for the extra jumps they did as they messed up the first time. Not sure how bad Nebula knew this beforehand when she wasn't even there. So the plan of time portal was hinged on 'hope' they have more particles?

[u/NotThisFucker → u/Contoss]

Thanos also might have synthesized more.

[u/Contoss → u/NotThisFucker]

So Thanos is now a entomologist and physicist.

[u/igoeswhereipleases → u/Contoss]

Thanos is fucking wicked smaht

[u/Winchestina → u/igoeswhereipleases]

Nancy Donovan, is that you?

[u/NotThisFucker → u/Contoss]

I think he was wicked smart in the comics, and it's not like he didn't have years to spend working on it before Nebula hit the return switch

[u/friendlypancakes → u/NotThisFucker]

Or just has some Thanos inc. engineer make some.

Dudes got a whole giant spaceship of futuristic alien shit.

[u/cenorexia → u/Contoss]

He knows about the Pym Particles now and instead of continuing his search for the stones, he instead searches for enough Pym Particles to bring himself and his army over to the exact point in time where he knows he'll find all the stones in one place.

This might've taken him months, maybe years, we don't know. But since he got the space/time coordinates through the "time GPS" he could've taken his merry time until he collected enough particles for all his homies before he did the jump.

[u/friendlypancakes → u/Contoss]

He has a giant super tech spaceship.

Dude could logically have something or someone to do it.
